Indoor Cycle: What You Need to Know
The indoor cycle is the ideal choice for anyone looking for an intensive and dynamic workout. The indoor bike was originally developed by cyclists who wanted to train regardless of the weather conditions. The indoor cycle offers a dynamic, forward-leaning training position, a sporty saddle, flat handlebars and optional racing bike pedals. These bikes enable an extremely effective full-body workout and provide an authentic riding experience. Perfect for cardio training at home or group workouts in the gym. But what is important when buying an indoor bike?components of the indoor bike
braking system
The braking system is used to adjust the training resistance. There are two types of braking systems. The felt brake is the most common variant. It is robust and reliable, but this type of braking results in an audible noise. The magnetic brake is maintenance-free and noiseless. It therefore offers a high level of comfort and is ideal for users who value quietness - particularly suitable for their own home gym.
flywheel
The flywheel of an indoor bike is an important factor for the riding comfort and the efficiency of the training. The flywheel ensures that the bike runs smoothly even at a low cadence. The careful combination of components and brakes results in ideal concentricity. The larger the flywheel, the better the concentricity and the riding feel.
drive
Indoor bikes are available with two different drive systems: The chain drive is the classic variant and offers an authentic riding experience. However, it is also a bit louder and needs regular maintenance. This includes oiling the chain and checking the chain tension. The belt drive is maintenance-free and noiseless. It therefore offers a high level of comfort and is ideal for users who value quiet cardio training.
handlebars and saddle
The height and incline of the saddle and handlebars of an indoor bike should be adjustable. This allows you to optimally adapt the bike to your height and your training. The sitting position is important for a healthy posture. Follow this tip to optimally adjust the saddle position. When you sit on the saddle, you should just be able to reach the pedal with your heel when your leg is fully stretched out. The handlebars should not be set lower than the saddle.
Advantages of Indoor Cycle
Indoor cycle devices are one of the most widely used cardio devices in the world. They are essential for successful cardio training and an integral part of many home gyms. With an indoor cycle you can improve your endurance, strength and blood pressure and can be adapted to individual training goals thanks to different resistance levels. An indoor cycle has a heavy flywheel that imitates a natural feeling - like riding a road bike. You can adjust the resistance settings as needed, which allows you to increase or reduce the intensity of your training. This drive is made of durable plastic materials and enables quiet and low-noise training. Our Horizon Fitness GR7 indoor cycle model is equipped with a high-quality belt drive that ensures a particularly pleasant training experience.Indoor Bike Training Benefits
