Reebok GB40 Exercise Bike

Product Information

It also ensures a comfortable, stable ride. You’ll be surprised with the exercise bike’s stability considering it only weighs 34 kg. Overall has excellent value for the quality you are getting – a sturdy and solid piece of equipment There are 12 pre-set programmes to choose from here, it is powered by mains and you can choose from 16 different resistance tension levels to make your training more difficult. Bikes in general can manifest in so many ways. I couldn’t possibly describe them all but factors and features like watts control, a user defined programme, pedal straps, resistance levels, levelling pedals… and we’ve not even touched on the finer details yet. While there are an almost unmentionable amount of factors to look for, we’re going to break down what it is that the Reebok GB40 Exercise Bike does right, and where it may have missed the mark. Exercise bikes bring many benefits and form a vital part of any home workout space. Suitable for both cardiovascular and strength-based workout sessions, a new exercise bike will certainly aid you in reaching your fitness goals. As the name suggests, an exercise bike is designed to feign the experience of cycling but indoors and from the comfort of your home, helping you to build up strength and endurance in your legs without ever having to set foot out the door. Upright exercise bikes are probably the most common, but you can get many different types including popular spin bikes and even folding ones too. We recommend adding an exercise bike to your home gym if you’re a beginner or a fitness fanatic, as all kinds of fitness regimes will be enhanced by a little at-home cycling.

This model has a 6kg fly wheel, which is average for the price range. There are 8 levels of manual resistance, which you’ll adjust by turning a knob. The upper levels will give you a tough ride. Next on this review is the Reebok GB40 Exercise Bike which provides you with 4 different fitness programmes to choose from and are easily managed through the easy to use LCD screen. The console itself is well organised and logical without too many buttons which makes controlling this bike simple. The addition of a tablet holder and a USB charging port is a really nice touch, though don’t fall into the same trap we initially did and think you can connect your device to the bike – you can’t. The USB is purely for charging purposes but this does mean that you can take nice long workouts while watching your favourite shows or reading a book without worrying if you’re going to run out of power. Oh and there’s a water bottle holder. Want my verdict? Buy this bike. It’s so cheap for what it can give you it’s an undeniably good investment. From the comfort features to the workout-enhancing programs, this compact machine, with compact technology and a compact price is simply worth it. The 9 kg flywheel helps to create a smooth ride and is suitable for intense workouts. Even the most experienced rider will find this bike to be reliable due to the 32 resistance levels of magnetic resistance. Additionally, the Reebok GB40 exercise bike comes with a tablet holder for easy viewing of fitness classes and a holder for keeping your water bottle within reach.The flywheel here is 7kg, the pedals are self-balancing and in addition the foot pedal straps can also be adjusted. Please note that the battery needs to be charged initially for 8 hours when delivered and is then recharged automatically from your own movements on the bike thereafter so this is an eco-friendly choice. The flywheel weight is 6kg, the maximum user weight is 110kg and the seat can also be adjusted both vertically and horizontally - there are also the pulse sensors integrated into the hand grips as standard. A drinks holder, an odd choice to add to the main features list I agree. Having said that you really need to understand how frustrating it is mid workout and you have to get off the bike to have a drink of water. Some of the top brands including Reebok have missed this feature of various bikes and treadmills in the past. There are 32 levels of resistance tensions availablei in total which are electronically controlled, the flywheel weight is 9kg and there are 19 different user friendly programmes to choose from be it manual, pre-set or user defined programmes.

SILENT】 Magnetic resistance braking, no wear and tear, the movement sound is <20dB, which is quieter than the sound of turning a book. Simple in this case does not mean less. Included with the Reebok GB40s are 19 user programmes (12 pre-set), time target, calories, distance and heart rate that is measured from the pulse hand grips. This paired with the 32 levels of tension control make this the perfect combination for every level of fitness enthusiast. Negative points The looks are distinctive, and there is plenty enough ‘under the hood’ to keep the whole family fit. Scottish Highlands & Islands (AB30-AB38, AB44-AB56, FK17-FK99, G83, HS1 - HS9, IV1- IV28, IV30 – IV39, IV41 - IV56, IV63, KA27- KA28, KW1 - KW17, PA20 – PA49,, PA60 - PA78, PH17 - PH26, PH30 - PH44, PH49 - PH50, ZE), Northern Ireland(All Northern Ireland postcodes).Next under this review is the GB40s One Series which shouldn’t be confused with the GB40 above as there are differences in the features available and the flywheel weight for the GB40S is 3kg heavier than the GB40, plus there are 24 more resistance tension levels to work with. FULL BODY EXERCISE: The WINNOW exercise bike is a whole body exercise equipment that can exercise the upper body, waist, and the lower limbs. When riding the fitness bike, you can drive the muscles of your waist and abdomen. The unique handrail design plays the role of exercising arms and improving safety. LOAD-BEARING】20LBS flywheel, the handle, and the seat can be adjusted in multiple directions, suitable for heights of 135-190CM, and the load-bearing capacity is 352LBS, suitable for the whole family. EIGHT RESISTANCE LEVELS: The fitness bike can simulate the riding environment of flat road, mountain and high slope to meet the needs of different physique and different sports stages. 1-3 levels exercise heart and lung, suitable for warm-up or people with poor physique; 4-6 levels of moderate resistance burning fat to help lose weight, suitable for mass fitness people; 7-8 levels of high resistance strengthening exercise muscles, suitable for people with better physical strength.

A near perfect exercise bike that is going to be hard to beat, it does however come with a high price tag that may put this out of reach for many. The console on the GB40 is, as you might expect on a manual bike, basic. The screen is bright and easy-to-read and the basic data is easy to see. There are 4 workout options (based on time, distance, calories and manual) to choose from. Three of these are based on a metric that the computer can calculate and are target based. eg Set your workout to last for 15 minutes, and the computer will count down 15 minutes. Set your target for calorie burn, and the computer will calculate theoretical calorie burn based on RPM, distance, speed and time elapsed and you stop pedalling when you reach your target. Of course, this is very limited in nature but nevertheless, it does do a job. The reason for this limitation is that the GB40 features a manual resistance system rather than a one that’s computer-controlled. Another area where the GB40 exercise bike could use a bit of improvement is the console. It has no heart rate receiver and no user profile settings. When you have tried lots of fitness equipment over the years from many brands it’s really refreshing when something like the GB40s comes along. DURABLE STRUCTURE: The sturdy and durable tubular structure provides more stability and safety for your exercise. The built-in wheels are easy to move, compact and suitable for apartments. High-density padded cushions make you more comfortable. Ideal for beginners or more advanced users to use as a home gym.The bike also features self-leveling pedals to reduce the risk of injury when putting on a lot of miles. Besides, the pedal straps keep your feet from slipping off the pedals.
