Diamondback Fitness 500Ub Upright Exercise Bike Review

Very sturdy, well made, not too difficult to assemble. Just what I've been looking for!

Product Description
Proving that an upright bike doesn't have to be an uptight bike, the 500Ub upright exercise bike from Diamondback Fitness is a beautiful blend of form and function. The 500Ub--which takes up far less space than most competing bikes--is equipped with an efficient eddy current brake system that provides up to 16 levels of resistance. As a result, it's easy to find the perfect resistance level for your needs, whether you want to warm up before hitting the weights or challenge yourself with a serious cardio burn. The precisely padded seat, meanwhile, is ergonomically configured to disperse your weight evenly, with flexible panels to reduce pressure and eliminate numbness. Add in a set of self-leveling pedals with adjustable straps and you have a terrific workout accessory for people who want to burn calories without compromising their knees and ankles.



The 500Ub's integrated console helps track your workout progress.



The bike includes an adjustable, ergonomic seat that disperses weight evenly.

The 500Ub offers plenty of workout flexibility, with an easy-to-read console that supports several different program types, including manual, random, fat-burning intervals, glute max hill climb, target heart rate, and custom trainer. It's also a breeze to track your workout progress thanks to the blue backlit LCD, which displays your time, pulse, calories, intensity level, RPM, speed, distance, and watts. And no workout is complete without a little motivational music, with is why the 500Ub comes with a set of built-in speakers and a plug-in jack for your MP3 player. Once you're plugged in, you can listen to your favorite playlists and tune out the rest of the world as you cycle through the imaginary hillsides.

Other features include contact pulse sensors in the handgrips for reading your heart rate, an accessory holder on the console for magazines or books, a built-in Smart Fan, and a weight capacity of 275 pounds. The 500Ub measures 39 by 60 by 20 inches (W x H x D), weighs 85 pounds, and carries the following warranties: limited lifetime on the frame and brake, three years on parts and electronics, and one year on labor.
