FITBIKE Race 4 Spinning bike

The new Race 4 from FitBike is an excellent indoor cycle for the beginning home athlete. This indoor bike has a beautiful black design with red accents. Thanks to its own weight of 28 kg, this indoor cycle is sturdy and remains stable during your home training.

Resistance & Drive

Where many models in this price range use a felt pad, the FitBike race 4 works with a strong magnet. Turning the resistance knob on the frame changes the position of the magnet relative to the flywheel and increases or decreases the resistance. This innovative technology has the advantage that resistance can be regulated more precisely and that the system requires little maintenance and is completely silent in use. With mechanical devices, friction between parts often leads to wear and tear. This is not an issue with this device, making the Race 4 from FitBike a durable device.

The FitBike Race 4 is powered by a V-Belt. Because of the V-Belt drive, the pedaling motion is not only smooth but also silent. This allows you to train at home at any time of the day without bothering anyone.

Ergonomic design

The racing saddle of the FitBike Race 4 is adjustable in different positions by means of a click system. The handlebars of the indoor cycle are also adjustable in height. This allows you to always have a good ergonomic position while exercising and the indoor bike can be used by different people. The adjustable toe clips allow you to lock your feet into the pedals. As a result, your feet never slip off the pedals during exercise. In addition, the toe clips ensure that you use your muscle power to the maximum. In fact, in addition to pedaling, you can also pull on the pedals, creating a powerful cycling motion.

Intensive training

The ergonomic design of the indoor cycle, where you assume an advanced cycling position, allows you to pedal more powerfully while activating your abdominal and back muscles. Exercise bikes typically offer a more upright sitting position, which can be less stressful for the elderly or those in rehabilitation.

Bluetooth pairing

Unique to the FitBike Race 4 is its Bluetooth receiver. This means that you can pair the Indoor Cycle with your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. This allows you to use different (sports) apps via your own smart device, so you can train with Zwift and Kinomap, among others. The FitBike Race 4 features sensors in the resistance system that can measure and transmit power (watts) to apps such as Zwift. This is something that is rare in manual resistance bikes, especially within this price range!

Display

An indication of your heart rate is measured via the hand sensors on the handlebars of the Race 4. The Indoor Cycle is equipped with a standard training computer. Through this training computer you can read your training data, such as

• Distance
• Speed
• Time
• Calorie consumption
• Heart rate

CycleMasters

With the CycleMasters app, you can easily add variety and motivation to your workouts right from home. Virtually cycle through impressive landscapes or follow energetic studio workouts guided by professional instructors. Whether you choose a leisurely ride or an intense training session, every workout remains varied and challenging. The app works without a Bluetooth connection, so just place your tablet or smartphone in the cradle and launch the app for an immersive workout experience.

Conclusion

The FitBike Race 4 is a quality Indoor Cycle at a very good price. The resistance is determined by a strong magnet attached above the 6 kg flywheel. The V-Belt drive makes the FitBike Race 4 virtually silent. Through the bluetooth connection and the possibility of training with Zwift, your training possibilities on the indoor bike are greatly expanded.
