How long will the Spirit CU800 Upright last?
The Spirit CU800 Upright Bike is built with high quality steel and has an assembled product weight of 127 lbs. It is rated for users up to a hefty 450 lbs. and is designed for commercial facilities though it carries both commercial and residential warranties which are generous in nature. Engineered for moderate use, the CU800 Upright bike will last for many years of riding pleasure with proper care and maintenance.
Brief Overview
The Spirit CU800 Upright Bike is designed to fit perfectly into any workout environment and has self-generating power which makes it quite handy when finding the perfect spot for placement. Though basic in design, built in elements are appealing to a variety of fitness enthusiasts making this a competitive model in the indoor biking market.
Overall Quality
The Spirit CU800 Upright Bike has a simple, easy to use console that has a jarring white light on a black background that shows pertinent feedback or communicates it to a 3rd party app via a Bluetooth connection. There are 10 programs that are effective in increasing overall fitness health built into the console which also holds quick touch control buttons that work brilliantly in keeping users traveling through the 40 levels of resistance powered by the 30 lb. flywheel. Smooth operation comes with a belt drive system and beginners to seasoned pros will enjoy the comfort of the padded seat which adjusts up, down, back, and forth and the oversized pedals that keep feet firmly strapped in place. The pedals offer a 2-degree inversion to mimic correct positioning which is believed to remove stress from the feet during exercise sessions.
