Livestrong U1x Commercial Upright Bike Review

The Livestrong U1x Upright Exercise Bike is Livestrong's commercial grade upright. The Livestrong by Matrix products are usually sold in the fitness club environment but this bike can also be purchased online for your home, office or work place workout rooms.

Aside from the commercial durability of this fitness bike, a few of the key features of this bike are the self-powered generator system, the quick-zip pedal straps and the race-inspired handle bars with contoured elbow rests.

Serious cyclists will usually prefer an Indoor Cycle for their training and workouts but with Lance Armstrong's influence on the Livestrong products, I believe that the Livestrong U1XLS could just as well be used for serious indoor training and cycling workouts, as for general fitness and weight loss.

Another important feature of all Livestrong fitness products is that the purchase of any Livestrong bike, including the commercial line fitness bikes, will ensure ensure a contribution to the LIVESTRONG® Foundation and the fight against cancer.

The Livestrong U1x Handlebars

The race styled handlebars, with the elbow rests give individuals and multiple users of this stationary bike a number of different hand and upper body positions.

I discussed Lance Armstrong's influence on the Livestrong stationary bikes (in addition to his visits to Johnson Fitness (the maker of Livestrong fitness equipment)) with the managers at the Johnson Fitness headquarters on my recent trip there to review Livestrong fitness bikes and indoor cycles.

Although Lance does not design Livestrong bikes, he does have quite a bit of influence on the company, its products and its relationship with the Livestrong Foundation. Personally, the design of this upright bike, and especially the handlebars, looks to me like it has some of Lance Armstrong's influence.

About-Bicycles Review

If you need a high quality commercial grade upright fitness bike, with some additional options that are not even available on other commercial grade stationary bikes, then the Livestrong U1x Upright Bike is an excellent choice.

This stationary bike is very durable, can handle up to 6 hours of use each day and also has a 400 lb weight capacity. Even if you weigh much less this should give you an indication of how rock solid this bike is.

On the negative side, the price is high when compared to products in the home market or sporting goods categories but this would be expected if you were to compare products in these two very different categories.
