Exercise Bike Resistance Types
When looking to purchase a cycle bike, you have a wide variety of options to choose from. Cycle bikes are categorized by resistance type. Resistance types vary from magnetic resistance, friction resistance, or air resistance. The best part is, whatever type of resistance you choose, all of these cycle bikes can provide an incredible cardiovascular workout.
1) MAGNETIC RESISTANCE
Magnetic resistance uses magnets to create tension against the flywheel. A magnetic force applies varying degrees of resistance as the magnets get closer or further away from the flywheel. Because the magnets never make physical contact with the flywheel, they provide an incredibly smooth and silent ride.
Magnets create powerful forces, meaning the resistance you'll feel with a magnetic resistance bike is strong, although it can always be adjusted down if you're looking for a more leisurely ride.
Magnetic resistance is adjusted by twisting a micro-tension knob or electronically through set levels on a digital monitor. A magnetic resistance bike is sure to provide challenges throughout your fitness journey.
Along with a durable, smooth, and virtually silent ride, you can expect little to no maintenance with these bikes, making them one of the most popular types of bikes on the market.
2) FRICTION RESISTANCE
Friction resistance cycle bikes use either a felt or leather pad to apply pressure to the flywheel through varying degrees of contact. The resistance level is adjusted by twisting a micro-tension knob.
Quickly rotate the knob to find the appropriate resistance for you. Because either felt or leather pad will contact the flywheel, you should effectively be unable to pedal if you tighten the resistance completely.
The resistance you'll experience with friction resistance is incredibly strong. Due to the actual contact the pad will inevitably have with the flywheel, there will be general wear and tear to the pad itself.
In general, leather pads are of higher quality than felt and will need to be replaced less often. Whether leather or felt, pads will need to be lubricated regularly. If a pad starts to get worn down and fuzzy, the resistance will feel less effective, and it's time to replace the pad.
Contact resistance bikes are generally quiet. However, you may notice a light, soft noise of the pad coming in contact with the flywheel. It will be slightly louder than a magnetic resistance bike but by no means loud.
3) AIR RESISTANCE
While both magnetic and friction resistance bikes create resistance by applying pressure to the flywheel, air bikes create resistance with fan blades that push against the air. The faster you ride, the more resistance you'll feel.
If you're interested in HIIT or Tabata training, air bikes are a popular choice, as they're perfect for pushing you to your max during all-out sprints and intervals.
In addition, most air bikes have full motion handlebars, incorporating your upper body for a full-body engaging cardiovascular workout.
Fan bikes aren't typically as quiet as magnetic or friction resistance cycle bikes. However, they're what you would expect volume-wise from a large household fan. Whatever your choice, you really can't go wrong when it comes to choosing between magnetic, friction, and air resistance.
It all comes down to personal preference and what will best serve your fitness goals at the end of the day!
