Xterra SB250 Recumbent Bike Review

How long will the Xterra SB250 Recumbent last?

The Xterra SB250 Recumbent Bike is a decent mix of metal and plastic and weighs 87.5 lbs. when fully assembled. It is rated to hold users up to a 300 lb. capacity, but heftier purchasers should search for a heartier machine better designed for heavier exercisers. It is best suited for light use and might last more than a couple of years with decent care and maintenance. The SB250 comes with a 5-year frame warranty and 1 year on the brakes and other operating parts which is comparable to other models in this price range.

Brief Overview

The Xterra SB250 Recumbent Bike is an upgrade on the SB150 and well worth the extra cost. It has a heavier flywheel and other commendable qualities that make it a great budget-friendly indoor riding machine. The SB250 offers a low impact workout and has a 5-foot frame that will fit easily into any residential setting. It is also budget-friendly for those who do not have a lot of money to spend on workout machines but want to exercise in the comfort of their own home.

Overall Quality

The Xterra SB250 Recumbent Bike has a walk-through design that is just the beginning of comfort offered in this machine.
