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 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.

Computer - push button Upright Bikes — These Bikes have a built-in computer that controls the resistance for you. All you need to do is press a button and the resistance will increase. This feature also allows for programming in which the computer automatically adjusts the resistance to take you through a workout.
