Equipment Features

Step-Through Design - The RBK 815 recumbent bike features a step-through design (14 inches; 36 cm wide) with a very low step-over height (4 inches; 10 cm).

Ergonomics - The riding cockpit is designed with sound ergonomics. The seat pads are angled for optimal comfort, maximum low-back support, and minimal interference with the movement of the user's legs. The console is mounted at an optimal viewing angle, with the machine controls within easy reach.

Seat - The new, molded seat back features a ""floating"" suspension system that allows the seat back to move with the user for unsurpassed comfort. The ergonomic, curved design and ample ventilation further enhance user comfort, and the polypropylene material is virtually indestructible.

Handlebars - The console handlebars help with entry and exit, while the riding handle bars provide optional hand and arm positioning and heart rate monitoring.

Biomechanics - To achieve proper pedaling biomechanics, Precor designed the recumbent bike to maintain some of the advantages developed for the upright bike. That means setting the angle of the seat rail with an offset from the crank to aid with efficient pedaling and reduced shear force on the knee. The seat rail angle is at 15 degrees with a slight offset from the crank axle. This places the knee directly over the ball of the foot (or pedal spindle) when the pedals are in the 2 and 8 o'clock positions.

Bearings - Pedal axles and bearings are designed for smooth operation and exceptional service life.

Pedals - For double the convenience, dual-sided pedals allow the rider to use the pedals with or without the integrated pedal strap. The extra-wide pedal comfortably accommodates feet of all sizes to allow proper pedaling form, with the knee directly over the user's foot.

Frame -Two-step powder-coating process applies rust-resistant undercoat and cosmetic topcoat to steel frame.

Heart Rate Monitoring

Touch - Touch heart rate sensors located conveniently on handlebars next to seat.

TELEMETRY - Integrated telemetry heart rate reads heart rate from a user's heart rate chest strap.

SMARTRATE - Yes
