br_weight, 5, 6, Weight, 7.57kg (56)– Including 2x MOST bottle cages and Garmin mount, excluding pedals , Array, kg Overall I am very happy with the items I have had from them, the price is amazing and I've not had any issue with service. Particular stand outs to me are: I weigh around about 60kg /130lbs at the moment, and even with my not so spritely form these days, the bike was more than happy to respond to my efforts. The tension levels seen are really meant for beginners or those that want to lose weight. As mentioned previously, this bike is meant to help you lose weight and improve your cycling speed. Moderate tension provides superior results when compared to slow cycling with intense tension levels. When you have more gears to select from and better stopping power, you aren't required to constantly be leaning on the edge of uncomfortable for optimal performance.

Pedaling is very easy at first if you have not turned up the tension level. There are 8 tension levels seen that allow for easy to moderate resistance. While the highest level is difficult, it is definitely much easier than many other bikes in this price range. Many people will see this as a fault, but this is meant to be an exercise bike for losing weight, which means speed and resistance must be kept around an adequate level. Before delving into a full review, we want to show you some of the key features offered. X-Bike Exercise Bike at a Glance For anyone who's not been following my cycling antics of late - I live part way up a steep hill in a valley on the outskirts of Greater Manchester, on the edge of the Peak District. Hills, unfortunately, can no longer be avoided. Other finishing kit on the bike are alloy bars, stem and seat post. This does help keep the weight down to 11.4kg, or around 25lbs, according to my scales for a size medium, which really isn't too shabby in the grand scheme of things. SRAM Rival HRD Hydraulic Disc Brake Caliper & Shifter / Rear Brake - Left 1x / 1800mm / Flat Mount 20mmDressing the unnamed wheelset in Kenda tires is a pleasant surprise, although watch out for the claimed 25c versus the real tire measurements. My own digital calipers measured these at just over 23mm with around 80psi in the tubes.

As Tyrone Davis once famously sung 'What goes up must come down' and it's the descending sections of riding the Brand x Road Bike where I had most trepidation. Normal wear and tear (examples of normal wear parts include walking belts, drive belts, batteries, brake pads, and jumping mats). A small data screen shows your speed, mileage, calorie burn and time elapsed. The monitor is battery-powered. You can ride the bike without the monitor if you wish, and the bike doesn’t need to be plugged in to work. Unlike the X-Bike Duo monitor, the basic X-Bike monitor doesn’t include built-in workout programs nor a connection to iFit Coach for immersive personal training… so you might want to park the bike in front of a TV to pass the time. The console does have room for your mobile device or a magazine though. Planet X is a proudly independent,Employee-Owned Company.

The big jumps in gear size creates a seemingly constant position change from in to out of the saddle as the undulation of the terrain changes. I found myself leaning on a gear a while longer than a bike with a bigger cassette, knowing that if I shifted too soon, I'd loose my rhythm. The main differences, which are still marginal, are however in the riding position, with the Brand X Road Bike constructed with a slightly shorter chainstay (410mm compared 425mm), shorter head tube (155mm compared to 165mm) with an ever so slightly steeper head and seat tube at 73 and 74 degrees accordingly (0.5degrees steeper).
