Marcy NS-1201R Recumbent Cycle Bike Review

How long will the Marcy NS-1201R Recumbent Cycle last?

The Marcy NS-1201R Recumbent Cycle is built with a heady mixture of steel, plastic, and high-density foam. The bike can supposedly hold 300 lbs. of workout weight and has a compact frame that can be moved with the attached transport wheels after exercise for those needing the additional space. There is a rather limited 2-year warranty on the frame that comes with purchase, but buyers should keep in mind, any parts or labor costs that are needed come directly from your wallet. It is best suited for light use and might last a few years with proper care and maintenance.

Brief Overview

The Marcy NS-1201R is a rudimentary recumbent cycle that keeps users solely focused on exercise during workout sessions. It does not have hi-tech options, nor does it collect heartbeat information. The NS-1201R is appealing to those looking to start out their fitness journey with an indoor cycling machine and is a boon for budget-conscious consumers.

Overall Quality

The Marcy NS-1201R Recumbent Cycle has a small square box-like console that offers 6 points of information data to help users keep track of their workout performance. The tiny LCD screen is simpler and easy to read and sits right between the high-intensity gripping peg-like handlebars. More leisurely rides are supported by the ergonomic side handlebars and overall, it is quite easy to use. A handy knob controls the increasing and decreasing of the 8 levels of resistance which help users tone wayward muscles in the effort to obtain better health. Though the seat only moves back and forth it has a comfortable seat for riding pleasure. Feet are kept secure with the built-in pedal traction and adjustable strap during every bike ride.
