Phoenix 99608 Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike Review

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:34:32 +0000

The Phoenix 99608 Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike is a no frills, affordable and yet effective recumbent bike. It delivers a great cardio vascular workout, in comfort and with a virtually silent magnetic resistance. It has 8 levels of resistance to support you fitness levels and can be easily adjusted using a hand dial.

The frame can also be adjusted to different people with different heights, it is solid and sturdy, but someone with short legs may have difficulty reaching the pedals in this model even at the shortest setting.

Phoenix 99608 Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike Specifications

Magnetic resistance system
8 resistance levels with adjustment dial
Comfortable step-through frame
Solid tubular steel frame
Sturdy pedals with secure foot straps
Dimensions: 58’’W x 38’’H x 24’’D
Warranty: 1 year frame warranty, 90 days parts

Affordable Recumbent Bike

The Phoenix 99608 Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike may be long, just like any other recumbent bike, but it is easy for you to find a place for it in your garage or room. It is good for beginners and fitness enthusiast, but not as good as to be a good buy for advanced cycling fans.

The best about this recumbent bike, beside the price for quality ratio, is the resistance, it is a magnetic resistance that is smooth and quiet, great to use in the morning without waking up everyone in the house. The worst is the warranty that only covers 1 year on the frame and 90 days on the parts.

The adjustable frame gives this recumbent bike a plus, it can accommodate different users with different sizes, but once again the warranty in the frame comes to mind and that doesn’t show much confidence from Phoenix on the product. The price is great, very low, perhaps too low, and the warranty with this price raises some red flags about buying this recumbent bike

Phoenix 99608 Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike at a Glance…

Pros:

Affordable
Quiet Magnetic Resistance

Cons:

Weak Warranty

The Phoenix 99608 Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike has a very low price, that is something that probably will make you think about buying it, but the weak warranty may prove that the components on this bike are not as good as you’d expect and Phoenix doesn’t seem to put the warranty where you put your money. Think twice before buying this recumbent bike from Phoenix.
