How long will the Horizon IC 7.9 Indoor Cycle last?
Weighing a decent 123 lb. fully assembled, the Horizon IC 7.9 Indoor Cycle holds up to a maximum 300 lb. capacity and is built with a pleasing blend of aluminum, chrome, and steel. It is covered by a generous lifetime warranty on the frame but a lowly 1 year only on parts and labor. Best suited for light to moderate use, the IC 7.9 will deliver several years of riding fun to anyone willing to take care of their indoor riding machine with proper care and maintenance.
Brief Overview
The Horizon IC 7.9 Indoor Cycle has a sleek design that is sturdy yet easy to move for those with smaller living spaces and offers enough quality attributes to appeal to the budget-conscious consumer who does not want to spend thousands of dollars on a decent riding machine. The lifetime warranty on the frame is a great selling point though the lower one-year parts warranty is rather dismal to say the least.
Overall Quality
The Horizon IC 7.9 Indoor Cycle comes with a rather unique resistance lever which allows the user to precisely choose resistance levels and follow meticulous changes made in various fitness programs provided by paid or unpaid subscriptions to 3rd party apps. While the IC 7.9 is not Bluetooth enabled – it securely holds streaming devices and with the help of the preciseness of the lever, allows users to follow the exact resistance changes that are enacted in the training sessions for an intense immersive workout. The saddle is racing-styled and moves in both a horizontal and vertical manner for riding comfort. Users have the choice of clipping in or using toe cages for secure riding while tracking performance data on the 5” LCD display screen.
