Sole LCB Light Commercial Upright Exercise Bike Review
Why spend more for light commercial?
If you have looked at the in-home Sole Exercise Bike models or read the reviews on any of Sole's fitness equipment, then you already know that Sole builds rock solid products with the best warranty in the industry. So what more do you get with the Sole LCB Light Commercial Exercise Bike? 
For starters, you get the features of the in-home model including the 300lb user weight capacity, comfortable gel seat, heart rate monitor with dual user settings, and easy and intuitive 9" LCD display console.
Next, add a 30lb flywheel, 40 levels of resistence, contact and telemetry heart rate monitoring and self generating power and an upgraded warranty for residental use.
One feature of the Sole LCB Upright Exercise Bike that should not be overlooked is the large 9 inch display monitor. When you compare the Sole Fitness monitor to other upright exercise bikes for sale online it is obvious that the monitor is much larger and easier to read than most other models.
Note: As of 5/15/2012 the Sole LCB Upright is selling for $1,299 directly from SoleTreadmills.com with FREE shipping options (shipping upgrades are also available). Go to Sole LCB Upright Exercise Bike for the latest price and reviews or to purchase the Sole LCB Upright.
Additional Features of the Sole Fitness LCB Exercise Bike
The Dual User settings on the console is a very handy feature if you have more than one person using this fitness bike in a residential environment but it loses it's value in a true commercial setting.
One common thread in the Sole fitness equipment reviews that I have researched is that the equipment is Quiet, Rock Solid and more similar to fitness club equipment than to the often more flimsy home fitness equipment. This is totally inline with light commercial fitness products and the 300lb user weight capacity of this bike.
The Sole Exercise Bike Warranty and Customer Service
Sole is totally committed to building quality fitness products that are extremely durable which is why they offer the industry leading warranty. The Residential Warranty on this product is Lifetime on the frame, 5 years on parts and electronics, 2 years on labor with in-home service!
In addition to their excellent warranty, Sole has an excellent reputation for responsive customer service and a money back guarantee on this bike.
About-Bicycles Review:
The biggest advantages that the Sole LCB Upright Exercise Bike has over the residential upright model (the Sole B94 Upright) are the 30lb flywheel (compared to a 26lb flywheel on the B94), the self generating power, which is a very nice feature, and the extended residential warranty.
One feature that the residential model (the Sole B94) has that the Sole LCB does not have is the iPod/MP3 jack and speakers. This may or may not be an important feature to you (and you can still listen to your iPod with headphones, while you workout) but you should be aware that this model does not have that feature.
The warranty on the Sole LCB can not be beat and Sole offers a money back guarantee so even if you have not had a chance to review this Upright Exercise Bike in the b&m stores, you can still be assured of getting a quality product.
The Sole LCB Upright Exercise Bike is priced a little high but is an excellent fitness bike for those who want all the extras that this bike offers (and do not require the iPod/MP3 jack and speakers).
