The Marcy NS-908R Recumbent Exercise Bike doesn’t look like your typical gym-ready recumbent bike, nor your usual space-saving model for the home.
There is a different approach that suggests this will be pretty easy to use if you are a little less mobile and just need a simple way to get moving.
So, does this bike meet those expectations?
At first, the Marcy Onyx B80 Exercise Bike looks like a pretty standard exercise bike. Then you see features in the specification that aren’t always on offer.
It looks like a strong, intense, and interesting choice for the whole household. Is this the case?
The designers of the Marcy Folding Upright Exercise Bike may say that this is a “unique” model, but there are actually a lot of standard features.
This is another low-end stationary bike that folds out from the middle, allowing you to pedal away with some resistance and data on a console.
Is it more than just a standard folding bike?
Recumbent bikes like the Marcy Start ME709 Recumbent Exercise Bike are always going to appeal to those that want a gentle workout instead of an intense spin class.
This bike machine has a 4kg flywheel and smooth belt with the aim of reliable, gentle motion for users.
It is also adjustable for different users, has a small computer console and doesn’t require mains power. There is a lot here that should draw in those with limited experience or mobility issues. Does it live up to expectations?
The Marcy Recumbent Mag Cycle looks like an appealing choice for those new to recumbent bikes and home exercise.
Some recumbent cycles are big, bulky machines that look like the more comfortable option that users would find at the gym. This model seems to take a different approach.
The sales photos show something a lot smaller and more simplistic in style, which perhaps means something a little more accessible for inexperienced, at-home users.
Is this the case, or does this stripped down approach mean that there are a few flaws to contend with?
The product descriptions for the Marcy Azure RB1016 Recumbent Exercise Bike tend to focus more on one aspect of the design than the other. There are lots of statements about the comfortable ride, via the large recumbent seat, and the way that users can enjoy their work out.
The sales pitches talk about liberation and motivation for those that struggle to get moving. Yet, there is little talk about the settings, programmes and workout options. Does this mean that this indoor bike machine doesn’t quite go far enough for the needs of most users?
