TRYA Spin Bike: Rated & Reviewed For Your Garage Gym

TRYA Spin Bike Reviewed

One of the first things you’ll notice about this bike is that it tends towards the bigger and sturdier side. Some exercise bikes are rail-thin and on the light side – this bike isn’t.

This spin bike weighs in at a whopping 71 pounds, which is more than heavy enough to place it near the top of the weight scale for this type of exercise equipment.

Because of that, this isn’t an exercise bike for the faint of heart or weak of upper body strength, as it’ll take a fair amount of muscle to not just lift these parts to where you want to take them but also to assemble them.

Sturdiness

The flywheel alone tips the scales at 35 pounds, which is definitely on the high side.

The flip side of all of this is that this bike also offers one of the best weight capacities on the market, being able to support 330 pounds. What’s more, that heavy flywheel also means that it is able to provide a great deal of resistance, which in turn helps ensure a more intense workout.

You might think that with all that weight, this bike would lumber along like a dinosaur. On the contrary, the chain drive on this bike ensures smooth and relatively quiet operation. While it may not be whisper-silent the way others are, it is nevertheless quiet for a spin bike of its size.

Adjustability

Then there is the four-way adjustable seat and two-way adjustable handlebars. If you have ever had the frustrating experience of having to readjust the seat of a stationary bike after someone else has ridden it, you’ll appreciate how easy it is to adjust the seat and handlebars on this bike.

The seat can move up, down, back and forth, allowing you a wide range of motion so you can get in perfect alignment with the non-slip handlebars.

The seat is well-padded, which is a definite plus for those looking to enjoy extended rides without having to suffer a sore rear as a result.

The pedals themselves are made of an aluminum alloy, making them sturdy, and feature adjustable straps to ensure that they stay on your feet no matter how intensely you are pedaling.

LCD and Devices

The unit’s LCD monitor provides real-time tracking of your speed, distance traveled, calories burned, pulse, and other vital data points. Though the LCD monitor itself is pretty basic, it nevertheless features a clear, easily readable display.

Just beside the monitor is the iPad mount. Anyone who has ever had the unfortunate experience of trying to balance an iPad or laptop on their stationary bike knows how important this is.

You don’t want your iPad or laptop bouncing around all over the place while riding, which is why you’ll want to make sure it is secured in place, and this mount can do just that, allowing you to watch your favorite show, read a book, or keep up with training programs without missing a step.

One final feature worth mentioning are the two transportation wheels which make it easier to move. Remember that this bike weighs 71 pounds, and therefore can be hard to transport on its own, so even with these wheels it’s going to take a fair amount of effort.

That said, the wheels certainly make it easier. Simply tilt and push them into place, and you’re ready to roll the bike to wherever you need to take it.

Users’ Experience

A major defining aspect in the TRYA Spin Bike experience is the 35-pound flywheel. That is larger than most flywheels for other stationary bikes and thus has the potential to offer more resistance, which in turn can result in a more intense workout.

The seat, meanwhile, is engineered to remain comfortable even after you have ridden for a long period of time. Too often we get sore or uncomfortable while riding and quit. With this bike, that isn’t a major concern.

Both the seat and handlebars can be adjusted by simply twisting a knob. This allows you to change the alignment of the bike with ease, making it that much easier to share the bike with others.

The mount for iPads and laptops is another nice touch. It isn’t a flash upgrade, but it is nevertheless another thing working in favor of the overall comfort and convenience of the bike.
