The choice between an indoor bike or a trainer is something that depends on each cyclist. Each device offers different pedaling sensations and the way it works varies, which is why in this article we explain what they are, so you know which indoor cycling equipment is best for you. Let’s get to it!
The indoor cycling bike: for cyclists and fitness enthusiasts
The indoor cycling bike is a type of exercise bike with superior features that allows you to work at high intensity and take advantage of the latest technological advances, such as state-of-the-art magnetic resistance and stable wireless connectivity with leading cycling simulators and fitness apps. An indoor cycling bike is intended for professional cyclists, as they can perform their daily workouts on it. Of course, not all of them offer the same features, and this is something that varies depending on the brand or manufacturer. ZYCLE indoor bikes, in addition to allowing professional cycling, are also intended for fitness enthusiasts, this is possible thanks to the fact that they are the most advanced smart indoor bikes. The ZBike 2.0 indoor bike model will allow you to train cycling professionally or use it for fitness, depending on the user’s preferences. This model has the following features:
- Realism in every pedal stroke: The ZBike 2.0 is a bike that stands out for the realism it offers in every pedal stroke, with a gear change that simulates that of a 15-speed single speed bicycle, plus the latest generation magnetic resistance allows you to work at high power from 850 W at 90 rpm / 2000 W at 120 rpm.
- Super silent transmission system: This is another of the best rated points compared to other models, and this is possible because it uses a modern Poly-V type belt with low noise, allowing you to use it anywhere in your home and at any time without disturbing the neighbors.
- Pairing with the main cycling simulators: the ZBike 2.0 is a device equipped with advanced wireless connectivity technology, namely ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart (FTMS protocol) which guarantees a stable connection with the main cycling simulators. These are: ROUVY, BKOOL, Bestcycling, Kinomap, MyWhoosh and FulGaz.
- Simple and practical assembly: In addition, the simple and practical assembly of this model stands out, which can be perfectly carried out by one person in just a few minutes. Each product comes with a manual with assembly instructions.
ZBike 2.0, discover the revolution of indoor cycling
The ZBike 2.0 is the most advanced indoor cycling bike with fixed gear on the market. Like the new ZYCLE model, it works with the latest generation of magnetic resistance, a silent Poly-V belt and other features that make it stand out from the rest. It allows for micrometric saddle and handlebar height adjustment, has a USB port for charging your phone or tablet during training and works with a maximum gradient of 20%. Likewise, the power estimation only has a margin of error of 2%.
The trainer for professional cyclists training at home
When talking about exercise bike or roller, as well as spinning bike or roller, it should be understood that the latter (the roller) is more suitable for professional cyclists. The reason for this is that it is a device that you can use with your usual bike and that offers the advantage of training in the comfort of your home, without having to leave home, making better use of the weather and being able to ride on days when the weather is not good. You can even use the trainer to warm up in the moments before a competition, and in the same place. Of course, as with indoor cycling bikes, there are many different models that vary depending on the brand or manufacturer, but also on the design of the trainer. The latter also influences the pedaling sensations and, in general, the cycling experience. At ZYCLE we have three different models: ZDrive MAX, ZPro and RooDol by ZYCLE.
ZDrive MAX, the direct drive roller by ZYCLE
The ZDrive MAX is ZYCLE’s new direct drive roller. This type of roller works by removing the rear wheel from the bicycle and connecting the cassette directly to it. The model stands out for its high braking capacity at low cadence and the realism it offers, especially when simulating uphill conditions and with shorter gear ratios. In addition, it favors high-intensity work thanks to its maximum power of 1800W (at 40 km/h) and 375W (at 10 km/h).
ZPro, the smart bike trainer from ZYCLE
When talking about roller vs spinning bike, and specifically the ZPro model, we find the ZYCLE smart bike roller with telescopic legs. This roller works by adjusting the adjustable axles to the different sizes of rear wheels (from 20“ to 29” inches) through the axle. It is designed to get the best performance on the bike indoors with a totally realistic experience and with maximum speed and cadence. In addition, it is compatible with all major cycling simulators and the resistance automatically adjusts to the chosen wheels.
RooDol by ZYCE, the ZYCLE Balance Roller
And finally, for those looking for a more realistic cycling experience is the RooDol by ZYCLE balance roller. The operation of this roller is the simplest, as all you have to do is mount it (you’ll need less than 60 seconds) and place your bike on top of it. This roller is mainly used for balance training, but also for warming up in the moments before each competition. It is lightweight and easy to transport from one place to another. In addition, it adapts to any type of bike with a wheelbase of 950mm to 1190mm.
