Marcy Magnetic Recumbent Exercise Bike NS-40502R Review

An exercise bike is a piece of fitness equipment that is used as an exercise tool for indoor cycling. It has some forms of handlebars such as a saddle, paddle, and bicycle. Stable bikes are usually similar to bicycles without a wheel that is made for special purpose exercises. This will help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use higher immunity.

The work of paddling can help strengthen your calf, hamstrings, and quadriceps. In addition, it can work the muscles of your core, back, and glutes. A 20-mile ride on a permanent bike is not like a 20-mile ride on a regular bike on the road. You have to decide which one works best for you. I think it could be both. But, you can’t ride a bike regularly at home.

Marcy Exercise Bike NS-40502R features:

The Marcy NS-40502R is made with heavy and durable steel that is sturdy, stable, and lifts to 300 pounds (136.08 kg) of maximum user weight capacity. The frame of this bike is made up of two main parts with a driving mechanism with a flywheel on the front and seats on the rear. These two parts are connected with a few screws.

The steel parts are coated with rust and scratch-resistant paint finish. In addition to steel, it has several ABS parts such as a flywheel cover, seat base frame cover. The transport wheel is attached to the oval steel stabilizer bar at the front and a rectangular-shaped steel bar at the rear has consistent levelers that help maintain balance. 

As the bike seat is a little wide, it is better to have a little wide space during exercise. Although it weighs only 69 pounds (31.3 kg), it allows you to exercise with stability that does not wobble during exercise. As it is not heavy, it can be moved easily and it is also very easy to assemble.

Seat & Handlebar

The seat of the Marcy Magnetic Recumbent Bike NS-40502R is made with an adjustable 2 way sliding mechanism with an adjustment knob at the bottom that helps you adjust as you like. Its seat and backrest are quite large and made of padded and vinyl material that supports your back and buttocks as well as provides comfort so that you can exercise longer.

Although the backrest and handlebars can be adjusted with the seat, they are not adjustable. So the handle cannot be raised or lowered. And it does not have any sensor for heart rate monitoring.

The front handlebars of the bike are non-adjustable multi-grip handlebars and

Connected to the console a little away from the top of the seat are those that offer different grips for different workout gestures.

Both the front and seat handlebars are well coated with durable soft rubber material that provides comfort and safety and prevents slippage, blisters on the palms of the hands.

Pedals

The Mercy Magnetic Recumbent Bike NS-40502R has an adjustable pedal made with a standard anti-skid design that allows you to exercise barefoot or in gym shoes. It provides two-way speed so that you can pedal in the opposite direction if you want. Unfortunately, you can’t pedal stand-up on it.

Resistance

Like the belt drive system, its manual magnetic resistance system provides vibration-free and quiet operation. It has adjustable 8 levels of resistance. Consists of its resistance by a small magnetic brake pad, tension knob, and a flywheel.

Its magnetic brake pad comes close to the flywheel and creates resistance by emitting a magnetic field around it. The closer the magnetic brake pad is to the flywheel, the higher the resistance level.

Drive

Marcy NS-40502R has a belt drive system that provides you a smooth and noiseless ride. This will allow you to exercise in front of your family without disturbing anyone and you can listen to music or watch TV if you want. Its durable belt, lightweight wheel, durable crankset, solid crank-arm, and balanced paddle will give you a vibration-free ride.

Console & Accessory

The console of the Mercy Magnetic Recumbent Bike NS-40502R is made up of a battery-powered LCD monitor with 3 navigation buttons. However, the battery is not included. It has a power-saving mode which will automatically turn off the monitor if there is no activity on the bike for a few minutes, then the monitor will turn on automatically when paddling is turned on.

Its monitor tracks time, speed, distance, odometer, and calories burned but does not track heart rate. You can exercise by selecting the figure you want according to your fitness goals. You can use an external pulse device to track and maintain your heart rate zone.

The Mercy Magnetic Recumbent Bike NS-40502R includes a tablet holder that is large enough to hold your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

Transport wheels
