Diamondback Fitness 960Sr Step-Thru Recumbent Exercise Bike Review

We ordered this bike when it was on sale for $499 [as SOON as we bought ours the price went up to $900, now I see it's back down to $800... strange!], with tax we paid another $50 and that was it as it qualifies for Amazon's free shipping option - free shipping always makes me happy. I was wondering why they'd mark a $1400 machine down so low and now that we have it set up and have used it I'm even more curious because it's AMAZING. Looks, feels, runs like a $1400 machine. It is THE quietest exercise bike I've ever used. Perfect. Love it. So glad we bought this.

Product Description
The Diamondback Fitness 960Sr recumbent step-through exercise bike puts you in the driver's seat when it comes to getting fit. The 960Sr--which includes many of the most sought-after features on the market--is equipped with an electronically controlled eddy current brake (ECB) 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 exclusive Comfort Plus seat, meanwhile, includes a quick-release locking mechanism to create whole new levels of stability and comfort. Add in the easygoing step-through frame, which is ideal for people who are rehabbing from injury or who find traditional upright bikes uncomfortable, and you have a terrific workout accessory for the home.

The 960Sr offers plenty of workout flexibility, with an easy-to-read console that supports several different program types, including manual, random, interval, hill, strength, target HR, and HR interval. The variety not only keeps your attitude fresh, but it also makes your overall training regimen more efficient by challenging your body in different ways. It's also a breeze to track your workout progress thanks to the five data displays, which show your time, pulse, calories burned, watts, speed, distance, resistance level, and RPM. And users who are monitoring their workouts for maximum efficiency will appreciate the dual heart rate options: a Polar-compatible heart rate receiver that straps to the chest and handgrips with built-in heart rate contacts.

Other features include a built-in reading rack and accessories holder, a heavy-duty steel frame with an anti-rust powder coating, a sealed ball bearing in the bottom bracket, and a weight capacity of 325 pounds. The 960Sr measures 64 by 51 by 31 inches (W x H x D) and carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame, three years on parts, and one year on labor.
