Nautilus R514 Recumbent - A budget bike with a solid frame, quiet magnetic flywheel, and quality construction.

ProForm 280 CSX Upright - While this is an attractive model that leaves off the frills, except for an iPod player plug-in and a console fan, it won’t make our Best Buy lists when it’s compared with other brands around the same price.

ProForm 315 CSX Recumbent - The recumbent frame on the 315 CSX features an easy-on, easy-off step-through frame and a quiet belt-drive system with magnetic resistance.

Schwinn A10 Upright Exercise Bike - Best cardio cyling machine for $199 on the market today. Reviews are exceptional because of the quality and design that has gone into this unit.

Schwinn A20 Recumbent Exercise Bike - Impressive, nearly silent, compact in size; a better choice of a cardio machine than a treadmill or an elliptical for small apartments.

Star Trac NXT Indoor Bike - This is the one to buy if you are serious about owning a quality spin bike. Used exclusively for spin classes since the construction of the NXT has proven itself the best on the market.

Star Trac S-UBx Upright Bike - Reviews are positive in terms of attractiveness and programming, but on closer look this model doesn’t live up to the Star Trac appeal.

The Weslo Pursuit CT 1.5 Upright - This compact exercise bike sounds like a bargain, but you won’t think it such a good deal when it stops working after a few workouts.

Weslo Pursuit G 2.8 Upright - The Weslo Pursuit G 2.8 costs around $170 but we wouldn’t recommend it if it sold for half that amount.

Weslo Pursuit S 2.8 Upright The Weslo Pursuit S 2.8 is rather flimsy and we can’t imagine this little bike can hold a max user weight of 250 pounds as well as the pounding torque of a vigorous workout.

Weslo Pro 11.0x Recumbent - One of the better models the company produces. Durable for users up to 250 pounds, yet nimble enough to move out of the way on its transport wheels when not in use.

Weslo Pro CTX Indoor Cycle - An amazingly quiet chain drive model, well-made, easy to assemble, and the price is ideal for a budget spin bike.

Weslo Pursuit R 4.8 Recumbent - Weslo's top-of-the-line model. However, the weak 90-day parts warranty is a red flag that this model is built with cheap components on a flimsy frame.
