Product Information

The length of the IC400 is pretty much the same as the 300 with a total length of 120cm when fully adjusted. The maximum height is greater with a total maximum height of 141.5cm and a slightly greater width of 54cm. These different dimensions don’t really impact on the usability of the bike and it is just as well suited to users of all heights just like the IC300. One of the key differences is that the 400 sports a gel seat cover which provides extra comfort to the already well padded saddle. There is also the addition of SDP compatible pedals which means you can use dedicated cycling shoes to clip in if you wish. This is a significant upgrade over the IC300 and although not all users will appreciate this upgrade it will make a big difference to dedicated spin cycle and road/mountain bike enthusiasts. It is a common misconception that spin bikes are the same as exercise bikes. This is simply not the case and although there are of course many similarities between the two, there are also some key differences. Spin bikes tend to require more effort and force from the user than exercise bikes and they don’t have the same level of versatility as an exercise bike (that often comes loaded with extra gadgets and the ability to change various settings) but they do help you to burn more calories if you really push yourself.

As such, you can exercise for longer and focus on your workouts instead of uncomfortable sensations. 3-Piece Crank System The spin studio at any commercial gym is usually the most popular room in the building. It is also not uncommon for these classes to be fully booked which can lead to plenty of frustration if you are desperate to join the class and can’t get a space. The number one benefit to buying a spin bike to use at home is that it is yours to use whenever you please which means using it consistently is easy to do.

Things that could be better on the JLL IC400 Pro

If you are looking to improve your stamina or just want to use a spin cycle for a HIIT workout then it is the perfect piece of exercise equipment for those purposes. The flywheel is heavy enough to provide reliable resistance for advanced cyclists as well as newbies. And that’s why: The Apex is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled and works perfectly in sync with the app. The only downside is that at the time of writing the app is only compatible with Apple iOS and so its a no-go for android users. We have it on good authority that Apex are working on an Android app though so watch this space – (edit – Android has now launched so everyone can access the brilliance of the Apex App). You can sync your data with Strava and Apple Health which is also a nice touch. In terms of connectivity the main app you will want to use will be KinoMap and this works incredibly well with the SX200. You can stream to another screen if you want the full screen display and this is where you start to enjoy the Peloton type experience with live and pre-recorded sessions available. If you are the sort of person who needs this level of motivation then the SX200 could be a savvy buy.

There is a good degree of adjustability with the IC400 Pro and it is well suited to users of a range of heights and varying leg lengths. Our testers ranged from 5’5” to 6’1” and neither had to take the seat or handlebar height to either extreme. The LCD display on this bike is pretty basic and it is clear that JTX Fitness have put their efforts in to the bike components and mechanics as opposed to the display but this is still Polar heart rate receiver compatible (in addition to the built in pulse rate monitors). This is a nice touch and adds to the overall value of this unit. So we have covered the impressive 22kg flywheel, strong frame and that like all the other models in the IC range (with the exception of the chain driven IC300) that it is belt driven. The maximum user weight is 130kg (just over 20 stone), which is quite a bit more than a lot of its competition, as the standard tends to be around 100kg. If you are near the maximum recommended weight, though, you should probably look at a different bike – and for those around the top weight limit then spinning on a bike such as this is ideal as it has so little impact on your joints. The JLL IC400 offers magnetic resistance that increases the challenge of your workouts according to your fitness level. And that’s one reason why the IC400 is among the most versatile stationary bikes you can get.Now that you have a treadmill or you have decided to get one, you must know that every JLL treadmill come from the factory perfectly tighten and with a perfect state of lubrication. However, you just need to follow a simple steps to maintain it. Keep the running machine in a clean state would help to prolong its life.
