Answers to the questions spinning in your head
Whether you should use the word spinning, bodybiking, RPM or indoor cycling comes down to what cycle, instructor and training programme you use. Since 1992 the word ‘spinning’ have been a registered trademark. ‘Spinning’ therefore refers to the unique fitness products and programs offered by the trademark holder of spinning. If you want to use the word ‘spinning’ it is necessary for you to be trained as a spinning instructor by the spinning trademark holder, purchase their spinning cycle and in addition get their permission. There are other companies that have their own trademark for the activity known as spinning. E.g. Les Mills has registered the trademark RPM which is a contraction of Raw Power in Motion. Les Mills define RPM in the following way: ‘RPM™ is the indoor cycling workout where you ride to the rhythm of powerful music’. So whether you should use the word spinning, bodybiking, RPM or indoor cycling comes down to what cycle, instructor and training programme you use. However, when it comes down to the actual activity that the word ‘spinning’, bodybiking, RPM or indoor cycling refers to, there is no difference.
The BODY BIKE Indoor Cycles are designed to fit a wide range of different users. To get the saddle even further forward, a special extension saddle adaptor can be used. This is available in a 30 mm and a 90 mm version.
As the only manufacture of indoor cycles, BODY BIKE is able to attach a logo or another illustration requested by the client to the cycle. This gives you the possibility to put your own private branding in your fitness centre.
A smooth cycling experience is created in the interplay between a well balanced flywheel using high quality bearings and the poly-V belt. The belt ensures a smooth and silent ride compared to a chain which produces shaking, noise and has higher demands regarding maintenance.
BODY BIKE has through years of hard work built up a reputation of producing high quality indoor cycles. We are able to maintain this reputation because we know that true quality lies in the details. That is why we always use carefully selected materials. However, high-quality materials offer no guarantee for a high-quality end product. They need to be utilised correctly to get the best out of them. Our knowledge, experience and technical insight are your guarantee for a consistent and unrivalled quality.
All new BODY BIKE cycles comes with the lubrication free BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake Pad. This brake pad consists of a piece of Kevlar material that provides a smooth feeling and silent performance without any lubrication. All cycles produced after August 2008 (unless otherwise stated on your invoice) are fitted with the lubrication free BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake Pad. If you are already in possession of BODY BIKE Indoor Cycles with a leather brake pad, it is possible to buy a completely assembled brake block fitted with the BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake Pad. For more information on the BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake Pad, please see press release.
The interior of the BODY BIKE Indoor Cycle is protected from dust and perspiration by the side covers. This minimizes the need for maintenance. Make the user spray the cycle with water and wipe it off after use. Once a while the cycle (side covers, posts as well as bottom frames) should be wiped with a cloth with vaseline oil. When the cycle is covered in a thin film of vaseline oil, it is easy for the user to wipe the cycle clean, and the film gives it a shiny finish. To learn more about maintenance, click here.
At BODY BIKE we care about safety, low maintenance, high durability and elegant design. We never close our eyes and follow our competitors, but always strive to be a step ahead. Our indoor cycles look different because they are different. BODY BIKE is one of the only brands making closed cycles. We do this because we believe this is the right way to do it. The side covers protect the interior system from dust and perspiration. At the same time they provide safety for the people around the cycle as they are not able to unintentionally get in contact with the rotating flywheel. The side covers are styled to make the user look good on the cycle. They are elegant and come in a variety of colours that can fit into the style of any fitness centre.
The pedal arm is a very critical component that needs to withstand a huge load. Therefore, BODY BIKE has made a special designed unbreakable pedal arm. BODY BIKE always puts safety first and takes no risks.
Yes. All BODY BIKE’s cycles for professional use can easily be adjusted both horizontally and vertically to fit the different size of users. The large adjustment handles make sure that the adjustments can be made without creating play in the posts. There is even a little thumb screw at the handlebar to remove the play that may be left in the handlebar.
