An upright exercise bike seats you in the upright position, just like a road bicycle, whereas a recumbent exercise bike has a bucket seat and the pedals are out in front of you. The spinning bike is probably the nearest thing to real cycling and looks a bit like a mountain bike. The upright exercise bike is still the most popular but that may be because people believe that you get a much easier workout on a recumbent exercise cycle. This is a misconception, as anyone who has used a recumbent exercise bike will tell you. Recumbent exercise bikes also support the back and because your feet are level with your hips your blood pressure stays lower, so they can be a better choice if you suffer from high blood pressure. Spinning bikes are very popular in health clubs and gyms. They are used as a group exercise bike and are still perceived as professional gym equipment by many customers. However economical spinning bikes are now available designed more for the home.

Magnetic bikes create a powerful resistance with the help of the flywheel and two strong magnets. The magnets are positioned on either side of the flywheel but are never allowed to make contact with it. As one rides the bike, the rotation of the flywheel disrupts the magnetic field. This attraction creates resistance which makes it more difficult to peddle. When a more elevated level of resistance is needed, a knob is turned to bring the magnets closer to the flywheel and vice versa.
These noiseless bikes are remarkably advantageous to own, as they require no maintenance. Since the magnets do not come in direct contact with the flywheel, there is no mechanical wear and tear which otherwise would require regular brake pad replacement. Moreover, it empowers the rider to customize the workout by allowing them to precisely adjust the level of resistance.
So Magnetic resistance exercise bikes are best and dominate the modern marketplace.

Resistance in exercise bike is used to increase or decrease the workout intensity. There are 4 different kind of resistance available.

• A. Brake based Resistance - the most primitive mode of resistance available in the market and obsolete technology.
• B. Direct Contact Resistance - It is based on the principle of friction and uses a brake pad to apply direct contact on the flywheel of the bike in varying quantities to get the desired intensity of resistance. Highly affordable but cost to change brake pad
• C. Magnetic Resistance - Magnetic resistance exercise bikes dominate the modern marketplace. They provide a solution to all the predicaments linked to the direct contact resistance bikes. These bikes create a powerful resistance with the help of the flywheel and two strong magnets. These noiseless bikes are remarkably advantageous to own, as they require no maintenance. However, magnetic bikes are quite expensive and may not fall within everybody’s budget
• D. Air Base Resistance - This genre of exercise bikes features a fan in place of the usual flywheel. When you increase your rate of peddling, the fan has to churn out a greater quantity of air which results in heightened resistance. TO READ MORE CLICK HERE
