I was not sure which one I would like more: Schwinn 240 (recumbent bike) or Kinetic Pro 2009. Well, finally I bought both

OK, Schwinn 240 is SUPER quite, while Kinetic Pro gives you SUPER realistic ride.

Both machines are fantastic. I ended up putting Kinetic Pro in the basement where I can ride fast and loud (without warring too much about noise), while Schwinn 240 went into my living room in front of my TV… When my friends are coming over they always want to ride my Schwinn… I used to watch news sitting in the sofa – those days are gone. I am riding my recumbent bike instead.

OK, now, about Kinetic. This thing was designed for a serious workout. You just CAN NOT resist a temptation to accelerate at some point switching to the higher gear and getting the heart pumping your blood “nicely”. I bought a special tire (Ultra Sport Hometrainer by Continental – orange color) recommended by a salesman in the local bike store. He was right: now the ride became VERY quite and the tire is not getting hot. NOTE: I had to adjust the tire on the wheel in the bike store (I did not have a special tool to do it by myself). The tire for some reasons was not evenly placed around the wheel: one side was slightly higher then another. Because of that my trainer vibrated like there was an earth quake. The adjustment took less then 5 min. My advise to you is (if you buy this tire in the bike store) bring your rear wheel and ask them to put in on right in the store.

… this Kinetic Pro Trainer is a really good investment – it’s so true…
