How long will the Xterra MBX2500 Indoor Cycle last?
The Xterra MBX2500 Indoor Cycle is designed for moderate use and should last quite a few years with proper care and maintenance. It is a healthy mix of quality parts and weighs a credible amount of 110 lbs. when fully assembled. The MBX2500 can hold users up to a 300 lb. weight maximum and will fit readily into any home workout space with its 4.6-foot frame. The warranty on the MBX2500 covers a generous lifetime on the frame but then gets stingy with only 1 year on labor, parts, and the brake.

The Xterra MBX2500 Indoor Cycle has a sleek design and a small footprint making it a great fit for residential settings.
