What makes X-Biking different from traditional indoor cycling?
There are many things that differentiate X-Biking from the indoor cycling that most people are familiar with. First and foremost, the patented X-Bars (right) are designed to move from side to side, mimicking the real motion created when riding a real mountain or road bike out of the saddle while climbing or sprinting. Further, the X-Bars incorporate a resistance mechanism to provide an upper body and core workout not possible with traditional indoor cycling. Second, the X-Bike uses a standard ‘freewheel’ gear mechanism unlike the ‘fixed gear’ mechanism found on the traditional bike. The X-Bike’s freewheel gear makes it the safest indoor bike to ride and further enhances X-Biking workouts because the rider is forced to maintain correct form and utilize their entire pedal stroke, thereby increasing the overall metabolic cost of the effort. This is just one of the reasons X-Biking classes need only be 30 minutes long. Third, the X-Bike features an on-the-fly shifting mechanism that permit
