How long will the Spinning L3 Spin last?
Built from steel, the Spinning L3 Spin Bike weighs right at 96 lbs. and holds up to 250 lbs. of user weight. It is designed for light use and lucky consumers might get a year or so of service if the L3 is kept clean and in a climate-controlled space. The L3 comes with a very low 1-year parts warranty making it a gamble when purchasing, despite the market hype of free DVDs with purchase.
Brief Overview
The Spinning L3 Spin Bike is a step up from the L1 with the addition of dual pedals offering the security of both foot cages and SPD cycling shoe compatibility. It resides firmly in the budget-friendly zone though consumers have the option to pay by the month at checkout. The L3 comes with a three-month subscription to Spinning® Digital and a 30-day subscription to Spinning® Digital+ where workouts come to life and keep up with real time metrics.
Overall Quality
The Spinning L3 Spin Bike comes with DVDs and entrance to a spinning app that offers instructor led training videos. It has a hefty 31 lb. flywheel providing smooth performance through several resistance levels and a felt brake pad for stopping purposes. The padded seat moves back and forth and up and down while the handlebars adjust vertically to fit most sizes of body types. The lower maximum capacity rather limits the user base, but it is better to be safe than sorry on a machine. The L3 is a basic bike that invites cyclers to simply hop on and ride in their search for better fitness health.
