Spirit XBR95 Recumbent Bikr

I recently picked up one of these bikes brand new, and it’s hands down the best recumbent bike I’ve used. What really sets this bike apart is the backrest design. The adjustable seat-back angle alone makes a big difference compared to other recumbents I’ve tried. On top of that, the backrest is made from a durable mesh material with sewn-in adjustment straps that let you fine-tune the firmness. You can even use the straps to add your own DIY lumbar support if needed, which is a great touch. The bottom seat is also extremely comfortable—thick, supportive foam and generously sized. There’s an oversized, swiveling tablet holder positioned above the display, making it easy to use an iPad or tablet during workouts. Another big advantage is that the electronics are battery powered, so you can place the bike anywhere without worrying about running a cord or being near an outlet. I purchased mine from a local distributor for $1,700, which was about $600 less than the listed price on Spirit’s website. At that price point, this bike is an outstanding value.
