About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

• Silent electro-magnetic resistance from 25 to 400 Watts (5 Watt increments)
• Jumbo LCD computer with goal settings and recovery pulse for personal fitness rating
• Comfortable gel padded saddle adjusts vertically and horizontally along a fixed incline
• Polar compatible heart rate monitoring (chest belt accessory)
• Maximum user weight of 285 pounds

the most uncomfortable seat ever, March 25, 2009 By  Michael Krakovskiy "Deadprogrammer" (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Kettler HKS X1 Exercise Bike (Sports) Kettler has excellent magnetic resistance technology, and that part is great: you get very adjustable and very quiet bike. But the seat is most uncomfortable, and so are the handles. The computer screen is hard to read. The included pulse sensor that clips to your earlobe works well, but you need to buy a plugin if you want to use a Polar sensor. The computer connections is a serial port, not USB. Documentation for how to use it is very hard to find. I guess I use it, but I'm not happy with it.
