Spinner® Sport Spin Bike (Indoor Cycle) Review

Spinner® Sport, the original design for home spinning bikes, has proven to be an excellent design for indoor cycling, serious indoor training and workouts and the Spinner® Sport Bike, by the manufacturer Spinner, is a good low cost choice for this type of exercise bike.

Indoor cycles or spinning bikes, such as the Spinner® Sport by Spinner, are upright exercise bikes that are mostly mechanical, use friction based resistance mechanisms and provide easy access to unlimited resistance levels.  

I had a chance to test the Spinner® Sport recently and this is a solid, no frills exercise bike that can be easily adjusted to any level of workout. As with most indoor cycles, you simply adjust the resistance level with a simple turn of the resistance knob above the wheel.

This exercise bike is completely mechanical. There are no electronics for resistance and there is no console to monitor your workouts (speed, time, calories burned, heart rate, etc.). This keeps the design very straight forward and keeps maintenance requirements down but if you are looking for an exercise bike with a console, you will need to select another model.

Note: As of 8/29/2010 the Spinner® Sport Indoor Cycle, by Spinner, is selling at for $449 with FREE shipping. Go to Spinner® Sport Indoor Cycle, by Spinner for the latest price and customer reviews.

Upright exercise bikes, including the Spinner® Sport Indoor Cycle are more similar to traditional bikes, provide an excellent low impact, aerobic exercise and are more compact and cheaper than other home fitness equipment.

About-Bicycles Review:

The Spinner® Sport Spinning Bike is an excellent low cost indoor cycle. This bike is all mechanical so if you want a console to monitor your workout stats you will want to select another model.

Although we were not able to find much information on the manufacturer "Spinner" and their warranty is not very good, the online customer reviews of this product suggest this is a very good quality exercise bike.
