The best exercise bikes of 2020

In the initial category, mechanical models are presented - the simplest option for the home. The principle of operation of such a technique is based on the operation of brake pads pressed against the flywheel. As a result, a suitable resistance is created in this way. However, the load level changes by changing the pressure directly on the pads. The advantages of this technique include the lack of food. For obvious reasons, mechanical models are cheaper, but have a high noise level. Over time, the pads are erased, which is accompanied by additional costs for the maintenance of the simulator.

The best exercise bike for home in the price / quality ratio for 2020 is the Family FS 40 model. Unlike most analogues, this vertical spin bike can withstand users weighing up to 140 kilograms. This load capacity is argued for by using a rigid structure made of expensive materials. For obvious reasons, the simulator itself has a rather overall dimensions and weighs 42 kilograms. The advantages of technology include durable transport wheels, inertial load system. As you understand, the spin bike is completely autonomous. To use the device you do not need to have any skills.

In this category, mechanical and magnetic models that support giroanalyzer are collected. They are great for people who want to get rid of extra pounds, without leaving home, and without overpaying for the services of fitness trainers and equipment. It is worth noting that magnetic systems are considered more advanced than mechanical ones. They use a contactless system in which the load is carried out by using special magnets. On the other hand, this principle of operation does not provide for the creation of serious loads.

This model is positioned as a reliable solution for systematic studies. It is already used by many ordinary users to strengthen the respiratory system and maintain the body in good shape. However, the model Torneo Vita B-352 can be used for effective training. A good weight loss exercise bike has support for adjusting 10 load levels. Physical data is displayed on a neat display. In addition, the device attracts with its compact size and ease of transportation due to the presence of transport wheels, and there are also compensators for uneven floors.

Considering the top-end magnetic exercise bikes, it is hard to disregard the Body Sculpture BC-1720 model. We are talking about a multifunctional device with support for programming your own settings. In addition, the model has a robust design with compact dimensions. Can withstand the user, weighing up to 100 kilograms. Judging by the comments of the owners of the equipment, a comfortable seat is used, which is easy to adjust vertically. In addition, a convenient steering wheel and pedal platforms lend themselves to adjustment. Many may not like the fact that the design does not add up. Therefore, save free square meters will not succeed. But the manufacturer managed to compensate for this with excellent transport wheels. At the same time, it has a high-quality non-slip pedal cover.

If you have not decided yet what kind of exercise bike to buy for your home, we recommend paying attention to Kampfer Universal. By name, you can understand that we are talking about a multifunctional simulator that attracts with a good design for effective rehabilitation training. The device is positioned as an excellent solution in terms of price / quality ratio for users with different physical training. Moreover, the maximum weight of users can be 120 kilograms. The flaws include a small flywheel in the region of 3 kilograms, but the developers claim that it is in no way inferior to the 16-kg analogue used in the previous model. On the front, you can replace the multi-function screen with support for displaying the clock, temperature and training parameters.

The best exercise bike for weight loss in 2020, according to the editors, is the model Torneo Jazz B-507. Actually, this can be easily explained by the following factors: the device is compact in size, has a high level of ease of use, and is suitable for users with different levels of training. In addition, a number of interesting functions are used, including the display of training parameters on the display, as well as the exact calculation and adjustment of the cardiac load. There is a fitness test, an advanced fat analyzer. In total, 100 programs were implemented in the area. At the same time, 4 user data can be stored. Obviously, this is a worthy helper for the whole family.

In this part of our rating, the most advanced models are used, which are mainly used in gyms and fitness centers. First of all, this is argued by the high cost of electrical components. In such models, the resistance is regulated by electromagnets located near the flywheel. In this case, the higher the current that passes through the coils, the greater the load. Such systems are quiet, durable and comfortable. The problem is that you need to use an energy source to connect.

The model Carbon Fitness U804, withstanding users weighing up to 140 kilograms, replenishes the rating of 2020 exercise bikes.At the same time, a rather mild flywheel guarantees a small flywheel, whose weight is 6 kilograms. In addition, the manufacturer took care of the presence of a three-component pedal assembly. The advantages of technology include an adjustable seat and a quickly adjustable steering wheel. In addition, the convenient exercise bike supports an extensive range of training programs, including 12 classic modes, 5 heart rate dependent and 4 customizable, user modes. After the training is completed, every time the vascular system is evaluated by the Recovery option.

Speaking of high-quality premium bike ergometers, it’s hard to ignore the Jorgen Svensson Crossline BMA, which can withstand loads of up to 140 kilograms. At the same time, the electromagnetic type model has a weighted and well-balanced flywheel (weight 11 kg). Structural elements hold SKF's durable Swedish bearings and three-piece connecting rod. Considering the biomechanical advantages of this device should include seat adjustment in both vertical and horizontal positions. The seat post provides high-precision protection against minor mechanical damage. It is worth adding that this model has a bright screen with a diagonal of 14.5 centimeters. It displays important data from 12 pre-installed programs.

If you need to install a large electric-type bicycle ergometer in a room with a built-in generator for autonomous operation, you should definitely pay attention to the Oxygen Nexus Guru UB HRC. We are talking about a premium exercise bike that does not need to be connected to an outlet. The device is loaded with the help of a large flywheel, whose weight is 11 kilograms - this is enough for the optimal muscle load of different users. Actually, their weight can reach 160 kilograms, which explains the wide scope of operation of equipment. Advantages of the equipment include Polar ™ / Oxygen ™ sensor sensors, horizontal / vertical seat adjustment, handle quality and a large screen.

Another professional cardio trainer designed for both home and professional use. The convenient electric exercise bike works on the basis of advanced electromagnetic technology with support for a durable and wear-resistant load system. A small flywheel weighing 6 kilograms is responsible for optimal intensity. In addition to a smooth ride, users positively note the degree of load (there are only 16 pieces) and the build quality. Information is displayed on a small but informative LCD screen. In particular, you can see the speed, time, distance, intensity of loads. There is a bottle holder and a stand for placing the tablet.

The best exercise bike for the gym in 2020 is the Nordic Track VX450 electric model, which supports SMR noiseless electromagnetic resistance technology. This model has a 5-inch screen, which displays information on the subject of 20 training programs.

Further, everything you need is provided by the built-in EKG Grip Pulse monitoring sensors installed in the handles. In addition, users are invited to connect the smartphone via Bluetooth to use any application.

Thus, before making the final decision, it is necessary to determine the tasks that you set for this type of technology. Further, if you do not know how to choose an exercise bike, you need to pay attention to a number of key parameters:

1. Design - there are vertical and horizontal models. The former resemble classic bikes: the saddle is located above the pedals. For obvious reasons, this technique has an affordable cost, but also minimal comfort. The fact is that such an assembly makes it impossible to use an advanced saddle. In horizontal models, the pedals are moved further forward. As a result, it becomes possible to use more convenient structural elements.
2. Weight Limit athlete - This value determines the carrying capacity of the equipment. Here it is worth taking into account the fact that the weight of the owner should be slightly less, that is, you must buy with a small margin of up to 10 kilograms. If you weigh 100 kg, then you need a simulator with support for the maximum weight in the region of 110 kilograms, respectively.
3. Flywheel weight - we are talking about a massive wheel, the rotation of which drives the pedal. It is believed that a larger flywheel is able to provide a smoother movement, without jerking.
4. Load levels - the more there are, the wider the possibilities of technology for sports. But this is proportionally reflected in the cost.
5. Structural elements - Speaking of the ideal option, I would like to note the presence of adjustment of the steering wheel, seat, the presence of transport wheels, as well as the possibility of folding the simulator. These are all necessary elements for a home exercise machine. If you have an uneven floor in the house, you need to focus on models with compensators.
6. Training programs - it all comes down to the scope of technology. To maintain physical fitness and burn fat, almost all models have a basic set of options that are enough. For professionals, the opportunity to create their own programs is provided. Recent models are significantly more expensive.

Of course, everything is relative. At the same time, the cost of such equipment rarely allows you to experiment and constantly change the simulator. Apparently against the background of this circumstance, many users on the subject of the same model express a different opinion. If you do not know what to buy an exercise bike for the first time, pay attention to the opinion of experts who have compared and can tell you something. As for the personal opinion of the editors, the conclusion is as follows:

• The best mechanical model - Family FS 40;
• reliable inexpensive exercise bike - Body Sculpture BC-1420;
