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.

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.
