Yes, Monark exercise bikes are expensive, but there are some very good reasons for that.
Monark fitness bikes feature a heavy duty 48 pound (22kg) flywheel for superb balance during use. Seat and handlebars are both adjustable and use a quick release adjustment mechanism so the user can spend more time exercising, and less time getting prepared. Monark bikes are rated for weight capacities of up to 275 lbs.
