Heart Rate Measurement
A great cardio-based training tool that challenges you to train within customized zones. Heart rate monitoring has lately become one of the most popular training techniques of the fitness industry. Heart rate training includes two components: a monitor, which is commonly a chest strap, and a receiver, which provides console readouts when the monitor is plugged in. Our bikes come in one of three categories: Built In, Requires Accessory, and Not Supported.
Built-In/Included  Upright Bikes Built-In/Included Upright Bikes — These bikes have both the hear rate monitor and receiver built right into the bike. Just place your hands on the sensors conveniently located in the handle and your heart rate will be displayed on the monitor.

Resistance Adjustment
Almost all of our bikes have adjustable resistance, which means you can make it harder or easier to move the pedals. The higher the resistance the harder it will be to pedal and the more intense your workout will be. Some of our bikes require you to manually adjust the resistance via a knob, usually located just under the monitor. However, many of our bikes have built in computers that allow you to adjust the resistance a the push of a button on the monitor.
Air - pedal faster  Upright Bikes Air - pedal faster Upright Bikes — Air resistance uses a fan to create resistance - which means it responds to your pace, increasing resistance according to your pedal rate. Air models are generally big and sturdy, and so take up more space. The fan, while cooling for users, makes air bikes far and away the loudest option.
