BODYPOWER SP.IC20 Indoor Studio Cycle

Product Information

It also has auto-adjusting resistance, so you don’t even need to lift a finger to go up a gear in time with the instructor on-screen.

It’s sleek, stylish, has a compact 4ft by 2ft footprint, comes in four colours and dual sided Shimano pedals. Even when I just have small bursts of time, I can put on a 20 minute express workout and get that same feeling and sensation that I get from an in-person class.However, Apex would be more suited to class cyclists and spin fanatics than to those looking for indoor performance training. IC14 may not have the catchiest of names, but what Body Power didn’t deliver in fancy titles they more than made up for in style and design. The Technogym is no different to the high-end tech you find in gyms and health clubs and you can tell it’s built to commercial standards. In terms of cardio workouts it is hard to beat spin cycles and this indoor spin cycle will have you reaching for your sweatband pretty quickly. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or a professional athlete, we have everything you need to enhance your cycling experience.

Our yellow jersey definitely goes to the Schwinn IC8 because even though it’s not officially a connected bike, its excellent connectivity and compatibility makes it very easy to train with a third-party app, while the bike itself is an absolute dream ride in terms of smooth resistance and excellent bike geometry to suit all shapes and sizes of riders. The magnetic resistance is smooth and the eight levels are easily adjusted via a quick-grab dial located underneath the handlebars. Formerly known as the IC8, this bike has managed to stay at the head of the pack for years now, thanks to its connectivity and compatibility with established and emerging third-party platforms, so you can ride with any number of other cycling apps like Peloton, Zwift or Jrny using your own tablet in the bike’s cradle. Pitched as ‘budget friendly equipment’, Roger Black Fitness has a few exercise bikes to choose from but this premium option sticks to a decent budget.

Installations in remote areas may incur a surchase; should this be the case, we will contact you after you have made your purchase. The bike is supremely comfortable to ride, either upright or in a racing position, with a whisper-quiet flywheel and magnetic resistance that offers infinite resistance. We really like the design of the handlebars on the IC8, particularly the tactile tab at the top of each handlebar that makes it much easier to stay stable when you’re riding out of the saddle. The magnetic resistance is adjusted through a centralised twisting knob that’s easily accessible no matter how hard you’re pushing and although the resistance won’t always match those of alternative apps, like Peloton’s, there are conversions online that will help you sync up, so you can ride seamlessly.

If you can live without a fancy screen and Bluetooth and deal with the lack of stability at high intensity, then it is worth your consideration. Cycling is a bottom heavy exercise, so consider lifting weights while cycling for a full body workout. The monitor is clear and allows you to cycle through all the relevant metrics to ensure your workouts are progressing, with the eight levels of tension giving you scope to extend your workouts as you get progressively fitter. Despite the fact that it’s comparatively light and has a very light flywheel there’s a great range of magnetic resistance.Clear instructions meant that assembly took around 45 minutes and the bike immediately impressed from our very first ride with 100 magnetic resistance levels that were smooth and controlled from a centralised knob that was very responsive. The LCD screen brightly displays 12 programmes and measures speed, time-elapsed, distance covered, calories burned, pulse, watts and RPM.

It features over 12,000 real cycle routes, allows you to race against friends, and much more,” says Ebejer. Instead, a simple LCD display offers 13 user programmes and feedback on body fat, heart rate, speed, calories and rotations per minute. The level of adjustability really is impressive with this bike as it means that no matter how tall or short you are there is likely to be the perfect setup available for you.You can stream cycling and strength classes from Technogym’s own studio as well as spin classes from top studios ( 1Rebel and Virgin Active’s Revolution) live and on-demand. All the basics are ticked off (speed, power, heart rate and cadence) and you get custom metrics including a “Pedalling Effectiveness Score (PES)” and “Maximum Minute Power (MMP)” to work out individualised training zones.
