About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

An adjustable seat ensures a comfortable ride for multiple users while a water bottle holder will keep your hydration source close while exercising.

Product Description

This sleek styling fan bike allows users to have Total Body Workout, Elliptical Workout, and Upper Body Training. It also provide an adjustable seat to accommodate users with different heights.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly Good Buy, September 6, 2008

By 

MC (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Body Max XFR1000 Pro-Cycle Fan Rider (Sports)

This is my 4th Exercise Bike over the last few years & would summarize as follows:
PROS:
1) Fairly good construction - More stable than the $100-exercise bicycle that I owned previously
2) Reasonable to assemble - Takes about 45 minutes for someone mechanically inclined
3) Nice adjustable seat - The ability to adjust the seat vertically as well as horizontally is nice to accomodate any height and arm length
4) Front wheels - This makes it very mobile for storage or use in another room

CONS:
1) Not enough resistance - They advertise a "fan driven unlimited air resistance", but it does not become more challenging with faster pedaling. I had to rig up my own method to obtain greater resistance and get a decent workout.
2) Very hard seat - They "promise a more comfortable ride, even after a marathon exercise session." A marathon session is impossible because it's too painful. I recommend an additional seat cushion.

Overall, I'm glad that I purchased it, but it has taken additional modifications to make it useful for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Customer Service is WASTEFUL AND INEFFECTIVE!, October 14, 2009

After a short-time usage, We are down-grading this product from a 4 Star to a 2 Star because essential/ main parts of the bike are wearing out or broken and in need of replacements. We rarely use the bike and are very disappointed the parts wear out so easily.

Positive: Bike quality is well built and material grade above average.
Negative:
1) SMALL PRINTS ON THE BROCHURE; hard to read.
2) FEW MISSING PARTS; broken plastic package containing all the parts. When we requested for the MISSING PARTS, instead of sending the few parts, we received ANOTHER WHOLE BIKE, AGAIN WITH BROKEN PLASTIC PACKAGE! Parts were every where!
3) THE FOOT STEP ACCESSORY had too-large and rough SCREW THREADING ON THEM; will NOT fit on the bike!
4) CUSTOMER SERVICE AT AMAZON IS INEFFICIENT AND NEEDS GREATER IMPROVEMENT; we had to email Amazon at least 5 different times to ask the SAME QUESTIONS on our problem. EVERY RESPONSE from Amazon were from different person, we had to explain AGAIN AND AGAIN BUT NEVER GOTTEN THE RIGHT RESPONSE OR SOLUTION. Before we knew it, Amazon had send a 2nd COMPLETE BIKE for replacement. Again, we had the SAME ISSUES with the 2nd Bike on BROKEN PLASTIC PACKAGE containing all the parts. Instead of dealing with the wasteful and ineffective Customer Service again, we simply sorted out the PARTS between 2 BIKES and completed our assembly.
5) Carrying, Driving and Returning a 80+lb. Bike to a UPS station was a drag too; why can't we have UPS pick-up service?

All, I wouldn't recommend this product. I put the item together, and it lasted about 3 hours. First the seat retaining nut and bolt assy came flying off. Secondly, the pedal assy bolt came out after less than a 15 min workout. This caused the biggest problem, after happening a second time, the screw thread in the crank arm was wore out. After all this, I got so disgusted with my purchase, I just threw the darn thing out.
