Our view - many bike users prefer the recumbent style bike and this is a very reasonably priced model from Bremshey. The seat can be adjusted horizontally and the back tilted for a more laid back position for comfort. As with all Bremshey bikes it has a smooth cycling action and hardly makes a sound. The built-in polar chip is useful as a chest strap is a more accurate way to measure your heart rate and you don't have to keep hold of the handles - please note the chest strap is not included.
There are in total 18 programmes with enough variation to keep you coming back to get fit. The heart rate programmes are very useful in our view but you're better off getting a chest strap to use as it's more accurate than the hand grips.
The backlit LCD display is easy enough to read but could perhaps be laid out differently, other manufacturers have better graphics to display work-out data. However, this shouldn't be a reason to put you off as it's a great bike at a great price.
The extensive warranty covers the frame and braking system is covered fro 15 years, and everything else for 2 years parts and labour.
Another winner from the trusty Bremshey in our view, combined with a superb warranty.
