Horizon RC-40 Recumbent Bike
One of the most popular fitness bikes from Horizon is the Horizon RC-40 Recumbent Bike. The onboard computer is packed with 14 different workout programs, and the magnetic resistance braking system has 10 different resistance levels, with toggles placed directly on the handlebars, and the whole thing is backed up by Horizon's exclusive patented FreeSPIN flywheel mechanism.
The Horizon recumbent RC-40 exercise bike has 10 resistance ranges which can be individually programmed, and resistance toggles are conveniently placed on the handlebars for easy access. Speakers for the MP3 player are built straight into the console, which also provides a display for various biometric and statistical uses, including heart rate, distance traveled, time spent, and more.
A number of features common to Horizon fitness bikes such as the Horizon RC40 are not available from other companies at any price. And with a maximum capacity of 300 pounds, the RC-40 is able to meet the needs of more cyclists than almost any other fitness bike made. The fully adjustable seat makes it suitable for people ranging from 4'10” to 6'6” and the quick locking adjustment toggle makes it a snap to switch from one rider to another.
Ordinary exercise bikes will become boring after a while as the user builds muscle tissue and tone, but the Horizon RC-40 bike is designed for user adjustable levels of resistance so that even a seasoned cyclist will be able to feel the effects of a workout session. And the 14 workout programs simulate cross country, hilly, mountainous, and several other types of terrain, giving the feel of a complete outdoor workout even during the worst of winter weather.
Many people are unable to comfortably use a traditional upright style of bicycle frame, but find that a recumbent seat, more comparable to an ordinary chair than a bicycle seat, provide a comfortable and supportive surface. Increasingly, recumbent fitness bikes are used for training purposes to avoid undue stress on the lower bike, giving professional cyclists an advantage during actual cycling events.
The Horizon RC-40 Recumbent Bike brings the performance and features of a fitness center into the residential arena. It is small and light enough to be easily stored away when not in use, yet powerful enough to provide a complete workout with consistently incremental resistance levels. They are easy enough for even a complete novice to use, but built to take the punishment a seasoned cyclist is likely to use from the very first session.
