Tunturi is known for stylish, ergonomically designed, and quality built machines. The Tunturi E80R Recumbent Bike shows why the Scandinavian manufacturing has earned renown around the world and has strong market presence in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

Among the many things Tunturi does right, the fact that they have a focus on ergonomics makes the Finnish company stand out in a world market which has many dominant manufacturies coming from almost every continent.

The E80R offers stability, performance, features enough for 2 machines, and even a decent sense of value that comes through despite the price tag that has been known to cause sticker shock.

Yes, that was over 100 programs and yes they are all different. It is important that the machine is operable in 8 languages and saves the profiles of 20 users. I don’t want anyone to miss how gorgeous the machine is, just beautiful.

The Tunturi E80R Recumbent Bike  is designed from an ergonomic focus and even has what Tunturi calls the ergometer which measures KCal/ Watts to help track efficiency of energy output. The cushioned and formed pedals are meant to relief back and ankle stress common with stationary bikes.

To ad style and class, the E80R has a built in MP3 player with music produced exclusively for Tunturi to set proper cadence for varying types of workouts.

You can also play your own music through the machines integrated speakers by simply inserting a memory stick, no Ipod required.

Style And Class

The first thing that strikes you the first time you see this machine is that it is a thing of beauty.

With sleek lines, a touch of minimalism, and a color pallet designed to actually be appealing to the eye the E80R is a striking recumbent bike. There is an obvious sense the the aesthetic of the machine was highly planned by designers who knew and cared about appearances.

Tunturi carries this extremely evident planning and forethought over into the mechanical, electronic, and construction elements of the machines.

Made exclusively with 8 and 10 gauge steel, the frame is designed to last a lifetime and warrantied to last 20. The frame delivers a firm and solid stance to the machine and allows it to boast stability which remains with the machine even as it ages.

Comfort and true quality experience attend the actual use of the machine. The programs are entertaining and are designed to help the user meet their goals and accomplish what they set out to.

A built in Trainer feature even sets up workouts for you to meet fitness goals in the long term.

The only major draw back is that there is no labor covered in the warranty in the United States. The warranty Tunturi offers varies from one market to another and currently a labor warranty has not been extended to the US consumer.

Other than that, the machine is more than most expect, even at $2,200, and delivers a truly enjoyable workout.

A Lot Of Finish Provided By The Finnish

Puns aside, the E80R above all leave the user and reviewer with a sense that everything we see and don’t see has been planned. More than having a few great features, there are many I didn’t mention, this recumbent bike delivers features, durability, ergonomics, and enjoyability in the prettiest packaging you are likely to see in a piece of fitness equipment.

The Tunturi E80R Recumbent Bike  is a machine which is as enjoyable to use as it is to look at, and it is a VERY pretty machine.
