Equipped with eight levels of magnetic resistance and a silent belt drive mechanism, this bike offers a smooth and quiet ride. ... Resistance: Indoor cycling bikes use either magnetic or friction ...
Gates bike belt drive system Belt-drive Belt-drive single-speed rear hub on a Trek District Belt-drive crankset on a Trek District Belt-drive multi-speed rear hub gear on a Trek Soho. A belt-driven bicycle is a chainless bicycle that uses a flexible belt, typically a synchronous toothed design, in order to transmit power from the pedals to the ...
Some stationary bike models feature handlebars that are connected to the pedals so that the upper body can be exercised along with the lower body. Most exercise bikes come with mechanisms to apply resistance to the pedals, enhancing the intensity of the exercise. Resistance mechanisms include magnets, fans, and friction mechanisms.
By varying the resistance on a flywheel attached to the pedals. The resistance is controlled by a knob, wheel or lever that the rider operates, causing the flywheel brake (a common bicycle brake, a friction wheel, a magnetic eddy current brake, a viscoelastic fluid brake, or a strap running around the flywheel) to tighten. On most bikes the ...

Exercise bikes, spinning bikes, or exercycles are devices used as exercise equipment for indoor cycling. It includes a saddle, pedals, and some form of handlebars arranged as on a (stationary) bicycle. [8] [9] [10] A stationary bicycle is usually a special-purpose exercise machine resembling a bicycle without wheels. [11]
A 2021 study found that the treadmill is the most effective cardio machine for weight loss. A trainer explains why—and reveals the best treadmill workouts.
Wind — The unit uses a fan powered by the cyclist's leg power to provide resistance on the rear tire. Pros: Resistance progresses with the cyclist's speed, creating a realistic feeling of cycling on the road. Cons: Noise, limited resistance. Magnetic — A magnetic flywheel creates resistance on the rear wheel. Pros: Nearly silent operation.
