The 6 Best Indoorcycling Bike

Table of Contents:

What do die-hard sports cyclists do in winter? Right, they’re spinning. However, using the term ‘spinning’ can be expensive because it is a registered word mark of Mad Dogg Athletics Inc. For this reason, the term indoorcycling has also established itself in recent years. Whatever we want to call it, it is definitely a demanding sport and a closer look at the characteristics of the training equipment can be worth it.

Fitness: Indoorcycling Bike Video Guide

Indoorcycling is sometimes confused by outsiders with training on an ergometer. And although both look like cycling at the stand, there are important differences. Ergometers and home trainers are reliable devices for a solid cardio workout: endurance training with changing load levels. Indoorcycling, on the other hand, corresponds to the roofed version of racing cycling: high loads over a longer period of time. This also makes the training device special: seating position and movement sequences – right up to cradle-stepping – correspond to the outdoor variant, the sports racing bike. Accordingly, an indoorcycling bike also differs from a home trainer in a number of important respects: Adaptation: The ergonomically correct seating position is particularly important for an indoorcycling bike, so handlebars and saddle must be able to be adapted in detail to one’s own needs. Pedals can also be adjusted on top-of-the-range devices. Rigid barrel: The flywheel mass is rigidly connected to the pedal unit; this means that there is no idling on an indoorcycling bike – like single-speed bikes on bike racing tracks. Brakes: The training equipment has brakes with felt or leather pads to stop the flywheel mass. Chain or V-belt: The flywheel mass is driven either by a chain or a V-belt. The chain drive is technically mature and reliable, but it is not recommended for noise-sensitive ears. Indoorcycling Bike: The equipment classes As with all sports, indoorcycling bikes also differ in terms of equipment and workmanship. Beginners’ models, such as the X-treme Classic Bike, already have all the necessary features for a demanding workout: solid workmanship and a simple console with the most important functions. The handlebars and saddle, however, can only be roughly adjusted, and especially large cyclists (from 1.80 metres body height) should take good care to ensure that an ergonomically good sitting position is also possible. Mid-range models, such as the AsVIVA S8, already have professional features: click pedals (exchangeable), road bike caliper and adjustable brake system. Equipment in this class is characterised above all by its high-quality workmanship and is therefore intended for demanding and regular training: Certification. These indoorcycling bikes, for example the Tomahawk IC2, are designed for professional use in clubs and associations. They meet high security standards, are individually adaptable and usually equipped with multifunctional consoles.

Professional equipment also requires professional care – usually. Indoorcycling bikes are very frugal in this respect. Regular checks of the connections and screws as well as the tension of the chain or V-belt are nevertheless recommended. Only the brake pads need some attention: if they become dry and brittle, they start to crumble. Special sprays, which are used regularly, provide relief and are available in specialist shops. Underlay mats are another recommended accessory. They prevent the wear of the floor or ugly sweat spots on the floor.

Although the spinning trend is now called the indoor cycling trend, it is a very attractive and demanding sport that is not only fun in the gym. Especially for enthusiastic sports cyclists, the Indoorcycling Bike is an ideal supplement for busy schedules and bad weather.
