Product Description
Combining the best features of both upright and recumbent cycling, the Viper recumbent bike offers an ideal way to stay in shape without leaving the home. The bike is distinguished by an innovative, ergonomically correct high-angle seat that’s more agreeable than conventional uprights, with a step-through frame and mesh-back seating for added comfort. The easy-to-mount step-through entry is a particularly important feature for beginners, older users, and people undergoing physical therapy. The company’s obsessive attention to detail, meanwhile, is evident in the advanced seven-window LED console, which not only offers an 8-by-15 segment profile, but also tracks your time, speed, calories, RPM, pulse, distance, watts, and resistance level. And users have plenty of workout options, as the bike features 18 total programs, including 12 preset programs, four heart rate programs, a single watt control program, and a manual option.

The Viper is stacked under the hood as well, with a quiet belt-drive system, a large 20-pound flywheel, and a friction-free magnetic resistance system, which merge to provide smooth, maintenance-free operation. And as with the best exercise bikes, the Viper is built with safety in mind, with dual sets of EKG grips–one set mounted to the seat frame and the other to the console–to help you monitor your heart rate at all times. Then, once your workout is over, the bike offers a recovery function that determines your fitness level by monitoring your heart rate’s response and providing you with a score (very poor, poor, fair, average, good, and excellent).

Additional features include the ability to store up to four user profiles with info on gender, age, height, and weight; remote handlebar-mounted tension controls; 16 resistance levels; a secure locking seat adjustment system with a silky smooth aluminum slide rail; oversized, self-balancing foot pedals with adjustable straps; front transport wheels for easy storage; a commercial-quality heavy-gauge steel frame; and a water bottle holder to help keep you hydrated. The Viper offers a 300-pound weight capacity, measures 24 by 50 by 55 inches (W x H x D), and weighs 149 pounds.

About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don’t take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.

The term recumbent literally means “lying down.” Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
