Our take

Heavy flywheel, 350 lb limit and a lifetime frame warranty.

Club-style Spirit frame with a 350 lb rating.

What it’s for

Recumbent Bikes: Recumbent bikes put you in a reclined seat with back support and the pedals out in front, which is easier on the lower back and simpler to get on and off than an upright bike. Look at the weight limit, resistance levels, seat adjustment, step-through height and warranty.
