Horizon Exercise Bikes
Are you ready for the ultimate experience in home fitness equipment? Whether you are looking for a solid basic bike model or you want to bring your workouts into the modern age, there is a Horizon exercise bike made just for you.
This brand is well respected in the industry and stands behind its bike with excellent warranty packages. Most bikes hold lifetime coverage for both the magnetic brake systems and the frames. They can afford to do that only because the frames are made extremely durable and will not shake or tip even during the most vigorous workouts.
Horizon RC-30 Exercise Bike
This is your more basic Horizon recumbent exercise bike model. It was designed just for the home exerciser who needs a durable product that delivers a good workout, without all the bells and whistles. It is also designed to be extremely quiet, which is almost required for a bike that will be used in a family household.
It comes with eight resistance levels, and you can switch between them with convenient toggles built right into the handlebar. You can also choose between 8 different preset workout programs; two of which can be custom set by you. The LCD screen is a nice size and reports your stats during the workout.
This bike comes with the same warranty as others, except the brake system is only covered for 20 years, compared to lifetime on the others featured here. The seat is cushioned and has lumbar support for a more comfortable ride, and the bike will hold up to 275 pounds.
This bike is sold in the $600 price range from Horizon, but can be found cheaper online.

The best feature for many consumers is the ability to plug in your MP3 player and hear it from a speaker on the console. It also has a built in fan for intense workouts.
The large LCD screen is backlit in orange and is very easy to read your reported stats. This bike will hold up to 300 pounds.

Your Ipod charges while your music streams clearly through a console speaker. Buttons on the console allow you to control your Ipod easily during the workout.
You receive eighteen resistance levels and six workout programs. The LED console has a more simple design but is large enough to clearly see 6 pieces of key stats. The Ipod feature takes up more room, but all of your vital stats will be clearly displayed before you.
