Finding the right spin bike can be a challenge with so many different options available, the spin bike that will work best for you will largely depend on your fitness goals and the workout you wish to complete. If you are after a spin bike that closely resembles an on-road bike and offers a natural riding experience than a bike with friction resistance and a chain drivetrain will be your best bet. Otherwise, if you are after a quieter bike with less maintenance then a bike with magnetic resistance and a belt drivetrain is a better option. A spin bike with hybrid resistance (belt drivetrain with friction resistance) is a great in between model for users looking for a bike that has an on-road bike feel whilst still remaining quiet. The flywheel weight of your bike will also affect your ride with a heavier flywheel feeling smoother and holding more momentum, making quick resistance changes easy to complete. A lighter flywheel will not hold up as well during spin classes as pedalling will not feel as consistent and resistant changes may feel jolted. All spin bikes will have adjustable seats and adjustable handlebars, offering a comfortable and accommodating ride for users of any size.
