The Buzz

The Livestrong S-Series Indoor Cycle has the exclusive LIVESTRONG® design package: a high gloss platinum powder coat paint finish on a steel frame with superior carbon effect plastic detailing. The rust-resistant powder coating and drive guard protects against sweat and abrasion.

The mechanical features of the Livestrong S-Series exercise bike include a 40-lb chrome-plated flywheel, a Kevlar multi-ribbon belt system, and rapid-stop cantilevered brake resistance. The large bottom bracket has four SKF hub bearings and the flywheel has six hub bearings for extra durability. The 4-way handlebars have seven hand positions plus fore and aft sliding adjustability to simulate all riding positions.

The unisex sports saddle has anatomical cutouts plus fore/aft adjustments to find your perfect comfort, and the dual-sided SPD-compatible pedals can be used with pro cycling shoes with a cleat system as well as regular athletic shoes.

Designed for commercial use of up to 6 hours a day, the Livestrong S-Series indoor bike is backed by a quality warranty of 10 years on the frame, 3 years on the cranks, belt drive, brake system, flywheel, and hub assembly, 2 years on the pedals and saddle, and one year on pedal straps, brake pads, and labor.

Our Take

This attractive and ultra smooth spin bike will be a valuable addition to complete your home gym, or you can ride it as your sole cardio fitness machine. The Livestrong S-Series Cycle gets great reviews for being a bike that Lance Armstrong himself would train on indoors.

Not only does he endorse the Livestrong by Matrix line of bikes, a portion of each purchase helps support the Lance Armstrong Foundation in the fight against cancer. At $1,795, the Livestrong S-Series Indoor Cycle is a dream bike, and you should also take a moment to review the E-Series, which comes in a black frame and no computer, for $300 less.
