ASB950M Commercial Magnetic Spin Bike

Hands on review of the Bodycraft SPM Commercial Magnetic Spin Bike

Posted by Eamonn on 19th Oct 2016

The Bodycraft SPM Commercial Magnetic Spin Bike is well made, sturdy with multiple adjustments for different body sizes. I am 172 cm could easily adjust the seat and handle bars for taller and shorter people. The seat is firm. In regards to 'racing' style bikes, this is par for the course. The magnetic resistance is quiet and maintenance free. You rotate a knob to raise and lower the magnets. There are approximately 7 full turns of the knob from easiest to hardest. It is simple to keep track of how many turns of the knob so that the resistance is consistent from workout to workout. I generally use 3 - 4 turns for long slow distance, 4 - 5 turns for intervals. My VO2 max is around 50 mL/kg/min so if you were 100 kg and very fit, you may find the resistance insufficient but for the vast majority of people, this bike's maximum resistance is plenty. When going hard, be prepared for puddles of sweat so a good floor mat is wise. I fan in front of the bike is also a good idea esp in summer.
