How long will the Xterra MB550 last?
Fully assembled, the Xterra MB550 Indoor Cycle is lightweight at 107 lbs. and can hold a maximum of 250 lbs. of workout weight. Light to moderate use is best on this riding machine and many years of workout joy will exist for those who maintain and take care of the investment made into the MB550. It also holds an incredibly generous lifetime frame warranty that models in higher price ranges usually do not possess and is covered for one year on labor, parts, and the brake.
Brief Overview
Xterra MB550 Indoor Cycle won our Third Place 2021 Best Buy slots for the $400 to $699 dollar range for both the 2020 and 2021 calendar years. It has many commendable qualities and is worth every penny spent for those looking to focus solely on functionality and workout performance. Though it is rated to safely hold 250 lb. users, we caution those with heavier builds to spend a little extra money and invest in a heartier machine.
Overall Quality
Xterra MB550 Indoor Cycle has a heavy 48.5 lb. flywheel which offers many levels of resistance for the ultimate toning of lower extremities with a twist of a handy knob that also substitutes as a brake. It has a belt driven system for optimal smooth performance and comes engineered for comfort with many adjustable features. The seat has a four-way adjustability, and the handlebars are innovative with a multi-positioning tilting design. There is a tiny LCD screen which offers a modicum of performance data but those needing heartrate data will be sadly disappointed with the lack despite the price of the machine. The MB550 has a compact design that will fit readily into any home workout spot and can move easily on attached wheels for optimal space saving when needed.
