This Cross-Trainer allows you to achieve a perfect aerobic training session that will solicit both the upper and lower limbs. It is equipped with self-adjusting pedals to improve the general comfort of use and although it is a "low-cost" equipment and the steel frame looks at first glance more like a frit than a real framework, it is solid. It is also equipped with a 7-position adjustable saddle that can accommodate most users. The minimum height is 81cm, and maximum 102cm.
The seat is made of expansive foam and a PVC cover which strives to make the time spent on the bike as short as possible. As you will understand, it is not the most comfortable. You can compensate for this by purchasing a gel seat cover.
The angle of the seat is initially unsettling but this feeling gradually disappears.
The bike is equipped with an on-board computer which offers the minimum characteristics, distance (Miles), calories burned (approximate equivalent of calories burned), speed (mph), time ( minutes and seconds), and you can scroll through the different menus with the SCAN function.
The on-board computer now takes measurements from the front axle which leads to results that are 35% less reliable compared to the old measuring system which saw the sensor incorporated in the belt. The maximum user weight with this exercise bike is 110KG, which is high for a low-cost exercise bike.
Owning an exercise bike is a perfect choice for those who want get a full cardiovascular workout. Fitness room subscriptions can be expensive, if you sign up for the long term it may be wiser to purchase home fitness equipment that will cost you much less and allow you to exercise. in the comfort of your own home. The main difference is in its ability to exercise the whole body, which is not found on standard exercise bikes. This bike is therefore closer to a
elliptical trainer except that you are sitting there.
Resistance
The resistance system of this V-Fit ATC1 Air is said
Airdyne : an air resistance system created by a paddle wheel with a diameter of 50 cm connected to a friction belt made of polypropylene. Single, double or triple resistance levels are enabled by the paddle wheel. The bike has 2-level magnetic resistance and progressive pedaling resistance. We find this air resistance system to be much more realistic than that artificial magnetic feel that you get on bikes with a flywheel. This quality turns into a slight disadvantage when we approach the issue of running noise compared to those same bikes with a flywheel even though it is relatively quiet for this type of bike as well. Even a person in good physical condition will feel the effects with a 15 minute workout at a brisk pace.
Assembly & amp; Lifetime
Very easy to assemble, however be careful to screw the left pedal in the opposite direction. Longevity: we cannot say. It doesn’t seem the sturdiest but it is rare to get better quality in this price range.
We recommend loosening the belt after use as otherwise the bearings could be strained. This could increase its lifespan.
