Sole R92 Recumbent Review
Comfort, Quality and 9 Inch Display Console

What makes the Sole R92 stand out from the crowd of recumbent exercise bikes is the large 9 inch blue backlit LCD display console in addition to heart rate control (HRC) programs and chest strap, the sturdy, quiet and comfortable design and industry leading warranty.

The Sole R92 Recumbent Exercise Bike has quite a few nicSole R92 Recumbente features but what really stands out is the large 9 inch display monitor. It is really easy to compare the monitor to other models, just browse the photos of the other recumbent bikes for sale online. It is obvious that the monitor is much larger and easier to read than most other models.

Getting back to the other key features of this bike. The Sole R92 Recumbent has a large comfortable foam padded seat, chest strap and handle grip heart rate monitors with HRC and dual user settings on the console, a 300lb user weight capacity, 110v power supply (included), 6 programs, 20 resistance levels and iPod/MP3 music compatibility.

Note: The Sole R92 Recumbent Bike is currently On Sale at Sole. See Sole FItness Price List for the latest price or to buy this recumbent at the lowest price online.

Also Note: Sole FItness bikes are backordered for 45 days.

Recumbent Exercise Bikes, including the Sole R92, are perfect for a low impact, aerobic workout to improve your overall health, physical therapy and/or weight loss. Recumbent models take up less space than most other home fitness equipment (i.e. treadmills and elliptical trainers) and you can get a much higher quality bike (like the Sole R92) for a lower cost than most midrange treadmills and ellipticals.

Additional Features of the Sole Fitness R92

One of the things that cyclists look at with an oudoor bike is the frame geometry. This is important for outdoor bikes and I see no reason why it would not be equally important with stationary bikes. One of the key features of the Sole R92 is the geometry of the bike. This bike is comfortable and provides plenty of support where it is needed.

One common thread in the Sole fitness equipment reviews that I have researched is that the equipment is Quiet, Rock Solid and more similar to fitness club equipment than to the often more flimsy home fitness equipment. This is totally inline with the 300lb user weight capacity of this bike which is a good indicator of its strengh and durability even if you weigh much less.

The Sole Exercise Bike Warranty and Customer Service

Sole is totally committed to building quality fitness products that are extremely durable which is why they offer the industry leading warranty (lifetime on the frame, 3 years on parts and electronics, 1 year on labor with in-home service!) on their exercise bikes.

In addition to their excellent warranty, Sole has an excellent reputation for responsive customer service and a money back guarantee on this product.

About-Bicycles Review:

The first thing that I noticed when I rode the Sole R92 Recumbent was comfort, support, stability and the overall feeling of a quality fitness bike. The large console was easy to read and easy to use right away (without any learning curve). I guess you could say "they had me at try it"...

The Sole R92 Recumbent bike is priced a little higher than most other in-home recumbent models but you do get quite a bit more. This bike comes with 2 heart rate control (HRC) programs and a heart rate chest strap which are not usually included on other in-home models.

If you like the large 9 inch blue backlit LCD display console, the HRC programs and chest strap, the quiet, sturdy and comfortable design and the Sole warranty, the price is not at all unreasonable.

The warranty on the R92 can not be beat so even if you have not had a chance to review this Stationary Bike in the b&m stores (they are sold at Sears and Dick's but are not always on display or in stock), you can still be assured of getting a quality product.

I would recommend this high end fitness bike for the geometry and support, Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs and chest strap, the large easy to read and use console and the 300lb user weight capacity.
