Folding Magnetic Exercise Bike X-Bike Fitness Cardio Workout Weight Loss Machine

Product Information

It is worth noting that while having a flywheel design, this bike is very quiet and not too heavy. When you are done working out, you can fold up the bike and place it in your closet for easy storage.

I love the fact that the Brand X Road Bike is transparently honest about what it is. There's no dressing up in shiny red lacquered wide tubing here pretending it's aero. Had I whipped up this fear from my own imagination, subconsciously fed by progressive cycling industry marketing that preaches disc brakes and wide tires for all?

I was even able to repeat these soggy test conditions time and time again - Manchester's not called the Rainy City for nothing - and each time I gained more confidence with the bike and its abilities. With this knowledge going off like a Belisha beacon in my head, my first outing on the Brand X Road Bike saw me enter a near state of panic on the crest of the first big descent on the bike. It would have had me reaching for a paper bag to breath into, had it not have been raining quite so much. Dressing the unnamed wheelset in Kenda tires is a pleasant surprise, although watch out for the claimed 25c versus the real tire measurements. My own digital calipers measured these at just over 23mm with around 80psi in the tubes. The spacer bell is a great innovation though I do get through a few due to catching it often but I'll live with that for the extra space on the handlebars and ease of "dinging" with either hand.

The main differences, which are still marginal, are however in the riding position, with the Brand X Road Bike constructed with a slightly shorter chainstay (410mm compared 425mm), shorter head tube (155mm compared to 165mm) with an ever so slightly steeper head and seat tube at 73 and 74 degrees accordingly (0.5degrees steeper). After assembly, you will want to sit on the very comfortable seat and make adjustments to the height. While the manufacturer has not put a limit on the minimum height a person should be, the consensus is that this bike is not ideal for people under 5’4. Riders as tall as 6’2 have stated that they can fully extended their legs on this bike, which is not common at this price range. Overall I am very happy with the items I have had from them, the price is amazing and I've not had any issue with service. Particular stand outs to me are: As Tyrone Davis once famously sung 'What goes up must come down' and it's the descending sections of riding the Brand x Road Bike where I had most trepidation.

This would normally be a big no-no with mechanical groupsets, but the Shimano Tourney was more than happy to be banged into the right gear without me having to ease off the pedals.The ProForm X-Bike gives a choice of eight resistance levels, so you can warm up with easy pedaling and then increase the intensity as you ride. Maximum tension on the X-Bike is relatively light, however. Heavier resistance would add significantly to the bike’s cost. A small data screen shows your speed, mileage, calorie burn and time elapsed. The monitor is battery-powered. You can ride the bike without the monitor if you wish, and the bike doesn’t need to be plugged in to work. Unlike the X-Bike Duo monitor, the basic X-Bike monitor doesn’t include built-in workout programs nor a connection to iFit Coach for immersive personal training… so you might want to park the bike in front of a TV to pass the time. The console does have room for your mobile device or a magazine though. The big jumps in gear size creates a seemingly constant position change from in to out of the saddle as the undulation of the terrain changes. I found myself leaning on a gear a while longer than a bike with a bigger cassette, knowing that if I shifted too soon, I'd loose my rhythm.

Normal wear and tear (examples of normal wear parts include walking belts, drive belts, batteries, brake pads, and jumping mats). I weigh around about 60kg /130lbs at the moment, and even with my not so spritely form these days, the bike was more than happy to respond to my efforts.One of the big stand out features for me is that the Brand X Road Bike comes dressed inShimano Tourney 2x7 speed (14-28T), with Prowheel 34/50 chainrings and 170 cranks. With a secure 4 point strap mounting system and adjustable carrier clips, the Planet X Relay gives a firm and confident fit and secure mount for your bikes. The monitor is the last thing to look at. Situated right in the middle of the handles, the monitor has 6 modes to choose from. These modes are as follows: The large 700x25c wheels offer great strength and are more than capable of withstanding the city roads with their potholes as well as gripping all year round with the added width of 25c. Built, Tested and Tuned With minimal gears to choose from, riding the Brand X Road Bike requires quite a physically dynamic performance from the rider. It was pleasing to feel that all my efforts were converting into forward propulsion, although a few more gears to shift up into would have been appreciated.
