Flywheel Weight

Compared to other flywheels, the IC Pro is relatively lightweight, coming in at 38 lbs. This means that the wheel will stop churning when the resistance has been turned up to a certain level. Though, the ride will be both smooth and fast when the resistance is lower because of the bike’s smooth drive system.

Pedal Type

The pedals come with standard flat pedals on one side and Toe Clips on the other. Whether you want to use the Toe Clips or not comes down to preference, but they ensure that your feet will stay secure. Standard pedals don’t provide any security, but because of this you won’t be able to pull at all, which can make for a better workout.

Seat Adjustment

The seat is ergonomic and can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally, and locks in place with pre-drilled holes and a pin. Almost everyone will be able to find a place where they can be comfortable.

Handle Bar Adjustment

You can choose from several different positions to ride from with the handlebars. This includes riding from a normal position, crouched over, and standing up. However, the handlebars only adjust vertically and not horizontally. This could be an issue if you are very short or tall, but the compatible user size ranges from 4’11 to 6’8, so most individuals shouldn’t have any problems.

Resistance Adjustment

The crank resistance and flywheel are the staples of indoor cycling bikes. When you turn the knob, the crank gets tighter and tension is created. This creates more resistance and gives you a harder workout.

Cons

It’s hard to find anything considerably wrong with this bike. The handlebars not being able to adjust horizontally could be a potential issue for those who want it to be fully adjustable. Also, the bike is probably a bit on the expensive side for some.

Customer Reviews

Product is great and was very easy to assemble. The only drawback is they specify a lube to use on the resistance pads but don’t include any for initial set-up. It’s kind of ridiculous that they build a nice quality product and can’t include a small amount of their special lube to get going with, not a big deal just annoying. – John
