What is so special about our cardio bike?
We did extensive research prior to deciding on the type of bike we'll use. We finally chose the Keiser M3i Indoor Cycle bike. The M3i is the culmination of over a decade of refinement of the M3 and hundreds of changes, from mastering the flow of sweat around the bike and better corrosion resistance, to a power meter so accurate that it was the first Indoor Cycling Bike to pass the EN957-10 European Standard for accuracy and safety.
Features include:
- V-shape frame to match riders of all sizes
- Rear-flywheel design for better protection from sweat and corrosion
- Magnetic resistance for a smooth and quiet workout
- A self-tensioning, zero maintenance Poly-V® Drive Belt
- Revolutionary re-designed Keiser Bike Pedal
New pedal features include:
- Stronger bearings tested for static and dynamic loads
- Cage integrated into pedal design, not just added on
- Ramped barbs for secure and simple foot placement
- Curvature eliminating pressure points on the rider’s foot
