Once you're seated, the LS6.0R's contoured mesh seat back supports your lumbar region while keeping you cool. The bike is also extremely smooth, with a fluid 8.8-pound flywheel and Livestrong's exclusive FreeSpin technology, which eliminates sudden, jarring stops so you can coast comfortably when you stop pedaling.



The console includes an LCD display and 2 LED feedback windows.

For an even greater challenge, you can turn to the bike's 11 preprogrammed workouts. Together, the resistance levels and workouts keep your workout routine fresh and motivating.

Exclusive to Livestrong Fitness, Livetrack Interactive technology allows you to do just that. Each time you work out, simply insert the USB device that comes with your treadmill into the console.

This review is from: Livestrong� LS6.0R Recumbent Bike (Sports)
I'm a runner with very little experience with bikes, but a knee injury got me looking for a bike. I settled on this bike after looking at a number of options and trying out a few bikes at stores and hotel gyms. Some thoughts after owning it for a month:

Positive:

* The bike is QUIET. Someone in the next room will not hear you using it.
* The bike is far smoother than others that I tried - there isn't any jerkiness on the pedals when resistance changes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Seat back tore after 6 months of use, July 11, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Livestrong� LS6.0R Recumbent Bike (Sports)
My husband has loved this bike and used it faithfully for the last 6 months. He is of normal weight and very average use. I know he likes to lean back on the seat. Last night the seat tore at the edges. I think that is a major drawback for this mesh seat. Obviously, a regular seat would not have torn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bike!, February 16, 2012
This review is from: Livestrong� LS6.0R Recumbent Bike (Sports)
I didn't buy this at amazon, however, this is a great price. My husband put it together in about an hour or so, easily. The back is SO comfortable and it is just really nice bike. I'm glad I held out for it!
