Product Information

The target buyers for this hybrid cross trainer and exercise bike range from total beginners to advanced workout enthusiasts. This is why it’s important to base your decision-making on these essential criteria: Who is going to use it? The LCD screen comes with essential programs that are easy to understand and set up in line with your desired work out activity. One point to mention is that if you’re using the bike, there aren’t any pedals and what you use are long footings to pedal. So, as you can see, each model in the range has slightly better specifications. If you just want a basic read-out while you work out for a fixed length of time, and you don’t want to push your fitness progressively upwards, then the information contained on the Plus model console would be enough.

Another cheap but sturdy machine is this light-weight hybrid bike and cross-trainer. With only 28 kg of weight, it’s easily stored and fits any corner. This isn’t a problem if you are a beginner, but if you are hoping to keep your machine for the long term, then the 4.5kg flywheel and resistance levels will not be challenging enough if you are hoping to progress over time. This is especially true if you are a male, or a younger person. If you want to buy the best recumbent bike and elliptical combo, this is the right product for you. This high-end, sturdy but compact exercise machine provides you with a realistic outdoor workout experience. Determining which model is the best to use is obviously subjective and will depend on the person you are, the fitness levels you want to reach, and your personal expectations. Users do report noise and squeaking with all three of these models, which requires some adjustment to correct. This is most widely reported in the basic Plus model it seems, which may be about build quality.The second key thing around storage is the fact that the lower price Plus model is 20cm than the other two models. If you aren’t comfortable using the cross trainer arm function when you start out, just get used to the foot motion and slowly introduce the arm element when you are ready. Once you get in the cross trainer zone, you will likely notice a difference to your arm and leg tone, which is great news for those bingo wings and Summer fashion choices. Imagine you’re a power walker on a Miami sidewalk who carries weights or who uses your arm movements to leverage maximum power as you walk. You get the picture? A cross trainer allows you to create a similar workout albeit without physically moving and without South Beach as your view (unless you choose an interactive workout programme).

The Plus version is the budget one. It has the smallest flywheel weight, and has only eight resistance levels, compared to the 16 resistance levels of the Gold and Platinum models. Changing the resistance is also a manual process on the budget model, via a knob on the front post. Is your machine of choice the bike but you would like to mix things up with occasional cross-training? That’s perfectly fine, but then your focus should stay on the bike features. The range gives you three different model options at slightly different price points. All fall within the mid-range in terms of pricing and features, but you definitely get an incremental feature and build quality improvement between the models, making it a serious decision in terms of which to buy.

All three models offer great value for money and any one of the three will be a great choice. Is just a case of making sure the model you choose will fit your needs both now and in the foreseeable future. Will the machine’s size and shape adhere to your built and stamina, or will other family members use it too? Based on the recommended height and weight limitations, and adjustability of the machine, you can narrow down the choices, as well as have a better insight into the required budget.
