Life Fitness LifeCycle 9500HR Recumbent - The distinguished LifeCycle 9500HR helped to set the standard on which all other commercial health club bikes are based. Now discontinued, you can still buy this bike as a refurbished model.

Life Fitness Club Series Upright - Reviews on this model are excellent as expected. Its smooth ride is above and beyond any other upright bike you have ever tried.

Life Fitness Club Series Recumbent - Offers the guilty-pleasure comforts just like health club models costing twice as much. But do you really need a $3,000 stationary bike?

Nautilus R514 Recumbent - A budget bike with a solid frame, quiet magnetic flywheel, and quality construction.

NordicTrack GX2.0 Upright - While the GX2.0 is an attractive model, for $299 you should check best-selling models from Schwinn and Stamina that get far better reviews from consumers.

NordicTrack GX2.5 Upright - A low budget machine that tries to be more than it is by adding lots of entertaining features like iFit compatibility and speakers for your iPod.

NordicTrack GX4.0 Recumbent - Rates above average in reviews; a good bike for the price and does the job if you are a casual exerciser.

ProForm 280 CSX Upright - While this is an attractive model that leaves off the frills, except for an iPod player plug-in and a console fan, it won’t make our Best Buy lists when it’s compared with other brands around the same price.

ProForm 315 CSX Recumbent - The recumbent frame on the 315 CSX features an easy-on, easy-off step-through frame and a quiet belt-drive system with magnetic resistance.

ProForm 490 SPX Indoor Cycling Bike - A solid performer with a hefty flywheel and a reliable chain drive system.

ProForm ZX2 Upright - An updated version of the 200 CSX, a budget exercise bike that got lukewarm reviews by users and equipment experts.

ProForm ZR3 Recumbent - Reviews by consumers range from favorable to passable to furious. Most new owners are relieved to get past the tricky assembly of the console which is unnecessarily complicated.

Schwinn A10 Upright Exercise Bike - Best cardio cyling machine for $199 on the market today. Reviews are exceptional because of the quality and design that has gone into this unit.

Schwinn A20 Recumbent Exercise Bike - Impressive, nearly silent, compact in size; a better choice of a cardio machine than a treadmill or an elliptical for small apartments.

Schwinn 220 Recumbent Exercise Bike - Excellent value for users who want a well-built entry-level cardio machine; quiet operation, solid ride, easy assembly, great ergonomics.

Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike - Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars in hundreds of reviews written by current owners; has landed on several best buy lists at consumer research websites.

Schwinn 240 Recumbent Exercise Bike - Very smooth and absolutely whisper quiet; 20-pound flywheel, walk-through frame design, adjustable padded seat with dual-position lumbar support.

Schwinn 250 Recumbent Exercise Bike - The upgraded version of the 240. Schwinn has added a few more programs, a fan, an MP3 input, speakers, and a new design on the console.

Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike - Not recommended for a number of reasons; users over 6 ft tall recommend that you skip this model.

SportsArt Fitness C532r Recumbent Cycle - Basically the same bike as the C521r that costs $300 less. The difference is that the C532r comes with the Infrared remote and a lifetime parts warranty.

SportsArt Fitness C532u Upright Cycle - The state-of-the art C532u upright has features to enhance comfort to keep you motivated to ride longer and achieve your fitness goals faster.

Stamina 7200 Magnetic Fusion Recumbent - A comfortable model for average to tall users. There aren’t many bikes out there that can match the features and comforts of this recumbent.

Stamina Elite Total Body Recumbent - Reviews on this bike are 90% positive. A quality bike, comfortable and quiet, but don’t buy if you aren’t planning to use the upper body workout.

Star Trac eSpinner - The eSpinner features a weighted 43-lb flywheel that simulates the feel of riding a real bike outdoors. The display screen provides the ultimate in at-home, state-of-the-art training.

Star Trac NXT Indoor Bike - This is the one to buy if you are serious about owning a quality spin bike. Used exclusively for spin classes since the construction of the NXT has proven itself the best on the market.

Star Trac S-UBx Upright Bike - Reviews are positive in terms of attractiveness and programming, but on closer look this model doesn’t live up to the Star Trac appeal.

Star Trac S-RBx Recumbent Bike - A nice but expensive machine with comfortable armrests and wrap-around seat, with a feel that is comparable to a health club exercise bike.

Star Trac E-RBe Recumbent - One of the longest recumbent models at 66" and the heaviest, so expect the ride to be very stable, with a pedaling motion that is smooth and quiet.

Star Trac E-UBe Upright - Reviews on this model are favorable although they question the high price for the home model. Not too many people are willing to spend almost $4,500 on an exercise bike.

TruPace V330 Recumbent - The semi-recumbent V330 has a large padded seat, easy to use console, smooth and quiet operation, and a low price that has to be seen to be believed.

Tunturi E80 Upright - Offers comfortable pedals that can be used even without wearing shoes. Electromagnet brake, large flywheel, easy mount frame, multiple adjustment points.

Tunturi E60R Recumbent - Outstanding ergonomics and innovative training programs; one of the best designed and best built recumbent bikes in the world.

Vision E4000 Dual-Action Upright Bike - The quietest specialty bike on the market that allows you to control your resistance as well as get an upper body workout while pedaling.

The Weslo Pursuit CT 1.5 Upright - This compact exercise bike sounds like a bargain, but you won’t think it such a good deal when it stops working after a few workouts.

Weslo Pursuit G 2.8 Upright - The Weslo Pursuit G 2.8 costs around $170 but we wouldn’t recommend it if it sold for half that amount.

Weslo Pursuit S 2.8 Upright The Weslo Pursuit S 2.8 is rather flimsy and we can’t imagine this little bike can hold a max user weight of 250 pounds as well as the pounding torque of a vigorous workout.

Weslo Pro 11.0x Recumbent - One of the better models the company produces. Durable for users up to 250 pounds, yet nimble enough to move out of the way on its transport wheels when not in use.

Weslo Pro CTX Indoor Cycle - An amazingly quiet chain drive model, well-made, easy to assemble, and the price is ideal for a budget spin bike.

Weslo Pursuit R 4.8 Recumbent - Weslo's top-of-the-line model. However, the weak 90-day parts warranty is a red flag that this model is built with cheap components on a flimsy frame.

Weslo Pursuit CT 3.8 R Recumbent - Easy to assemble and remarkably quiet. If you need a cheap bike for warm-ups or Physical Therapy, this model could work well for you.
