How long will the Spinning L9 last?

Weighing in at 100 lbs. when fully assembled, the Spinning L9 Spin Bike holds up to a 250 lbs. maximum capacity and is covered by a rather dismal 1-year warranty that does not include labor costs. It is best suited for light to moderate use and will last for hopefully a couple of years considering the price range and upgraded drive system.

Brief Overview

The Spinning L9 Spin Bike comes with DVDs and free trials to both Spinning® Digital and Spinning® Digital+ fitness apps bringing on demand workouts and metric tracking to the happy consumer. It is budget-friendly though the warranty is on the low side with customers being out of luck a year after purchase if something goes wrong. The L9 does have a few commendable features that make it a quality choice for the budget-conscious individual.

Overall Quality

The Spinning L9 Spin Bike has an upgraded belt drive system that increases the performance flow and calls for less maintenance than a chain drive system. The flywheel weighs 36 lbs. allowing fluid transitions between resistance levels and a smoother overall ride. The seat and handlebars both adjust in a horizontal and vertical manner for maximum comfort for bodies of most sizes and have a sturdy design for safe riding. Feet are protected in foot cages or consumers can choose to purchase special SPD compatible cycling shoes for clicking onto pedals for a more secure ride. The L9 even comes with convenient transport wheels to easily roll it out of the way for those with smaller living abodes.
