Cyclace Exercise Bike Stationary Overview
Drive –
The Cyclace Exercise Bike Stationary 330 has a belt drive system.
Finish –
The bike’s painted, solid steel frame is scratch, chip, and rust-resistant. The other components are ABS, including the safety shield for the chrome-plated flywheel.
Stability, Smoothness, and Noise Level –
The bike’s wide steel triangular-shaped frame features slightly curved main and base bars for stability. Further adding to its stability is a heavy-duty crankset that features solid steel arms.
Four stabilizers in the base bar add additional stability to facilitate workouts on slightly uneven floors. These are non-marking to protect your floor from scuffs and scratches.
A belt-drive system and perimeter-weighted high-inertia bi-directional flywheel provide fluid, vibration-free, very quiet workouts, even when working at high resistance.
Be aware, though, that the noise level will increase if you are cycling with high resistance, but it will still be quiet.
Resistance –
A high-density wool felt pad controls the resistance with unlimited levels available at the turn of a knob that is within easy reach, just behind the handlebars.
The knob also acts as an emergency brake that, when pressed, immediately stops the flywheel and wheels from turning if you want to finish the workout quickly or change your pedaling direction.
Monitor –
A simple, user-friendly single-button operated LCD fitness monitor shows workout stats, including your Time, Speed, Distance covered, and Calories Burned.
Every time you press the relevant button, the next workout metric will display. Alternatively, you can use the Scan function to automatically cycle through the metrics, with each displayed for a few seconds.
If you wish to clear your stats, pressing and holding the button for a few seconds will set it back to zero.
There’s also an Odometer that you can reset to zero by removing the batteries.
Sleep mode activates automatically after a few minutes of inactivity. If preferred, you can power down the monitor by pressing the red button.
Seat –
The large, PVC saddle of the Cyclace Exercise Bike Stationary 330lbs Weight Capacity is durable and well-padded. It has two internal suspension springs that help absorb movement and a central cutout that allows airflow.
The seat adjusts in four directions – up, down, fore, and aft – to cater to users of various heights. There are eight height setting options to choose from, plus a few inches of fore and aft adjustment.
The saddle’s angle can be adjusted slightly by loosening some screws, repositioning it, then tightening the screws.
While most buyers who left reviews stated the seat is comfortable, some said it is not. This difference in opinion is the norm when it comes to bike saddle comfort.
If you don’t like the saddle, using a gel seat cover, wearing gel cycling pants, or placing a folded towel on the seat will make for more comfortable sessions. Alternatively, you can replace the seat.
Pedals –
The bike’s footplates have a non-slip base with adjustable safety straps and standard 9/16 PVC cage pedals for safe and secure workouts. (SPD clips for spin shoes are not included.)
If you don’t want to work with cages, you can swap pedals to another standard-sized pedal.
Along with forward cycling, you can pedal backward or while standing to target different muscles.
Handlebars –
The bike’s PVC-covered handlebars are slip-resistant and comfortable to hold. Their drop-down configuration offers multiple grip positions.
The handlebars adjust up and down, with five setting options available.
A large iPad holder is molded to the handlebars so you can watch movies, videos or surf the net as you exercise.
Transport Wheels –
Transport wheels in the front base enable easy relocation of the bike by tipping and rolling it.
Accessories –
Accessories include a large, conveniently located tablet holder and an easily accessible water bottle holder.
Assembly –
The Cyclace Exercise Bike Stationary arrives partially assembled. All you will have to do is attach two base bars, the seat, handlebars, pedals, and monitor.
This process should take between 20 and 30 minutes. Easy-to-understand assembly instructions and a tool to facilitate the task are included.
Warranty –
The warranty for this bike covers 1-year for parts.
