Indoor cycling is the perfect alternative for keeping fit at home.

Whether the fitness studios are (still) closed or cycling is not possible due to the bad weather, many athletes swing on the spinning bikes and cycle within their own four walls.

Indoor bikes differ in terms of their functions and features.

But what do you have to look out for when buying a spinning bike for the home?

We have the best models in comparison.

Comparison of spinning bikes: what you should pay attention to

  • Spinning bikes or indoor bikes have a certain flywheel mass.

    The resistance is controlled by the brake.

    There are differences here:

    Magnetic and disc brakes are

    available.

    Disc brakes offer a higher resistance, the magnet variants, on the other hand, act particularly quietly.

  • Type of drive:

    Spinning bikes are equipped with a chain or belt drive.

    The chain drive can be compared to the drive of a normal road bike.

    With the belt drive, a durable rubber is used.

    Most indoor bikes are belt-driven.

    This is significantly quieter, requires less maintenance and is more resilient.

  • Material:

    The spinning bike should be made of rustproof material and be resistant to sweat.

    Powder-coated surfaces are much more scratch-, shock- and impact-resistant than painted surfaces.

    High-quality indoor bikes are equipped with a leather saddle.

    The handlebars should be made of non-slip and sweat-absorbing foam.

  • Computer:

    Indoor cycling combines intensive units with music.

    There are different levels of performance, often an instructor leads through the course.

    The following data should be displayed on the screen: distance, time, speed, power in watts, calories burned, heart rate.

  • Resilience:

    The comparison of the spinning bikes makes it clear that indoor bikes are suitable for a certain maximum body weight.

    Obese people do not have to worry, however, most bikes can withstand a weight of 150 to 180 kilograms without any problems.

  • The

    flywheel mass

    results from the weight of the flywheel and the weight of the components that are set in motion when you pedal.

    The flywheel is given in kilograms.

    The higher the value, the smoother and smoother indoor cycling is.

    The flywheel should be at least 18 kilograms.

    Powerful models offer 22 to 26 kg.

  • Extras:

    When buying a spinning bike, pay attention to additional equipment such as a drinking bottle holder, holder for smartphones or tablets, transport rollers, pulse measurement or a Bluetooth connection.

  • There is not yet a test for spinning bikes from Stiftung Warentest.

    We have therefore used the comparison of computer images as the basis for our article.

    In the following you can see four recommended models.
