Horizon Fitness Focus 308 Upright Exercise Bike

The Horizon Focus 308 is an upright fitness bike ideally suited to people who are serious about an indoor training regime to improve their overall health and fitness levels. The bike is sturdy, offers a very high level of user comfort and a fairly wide variety in workout programming.

As far as comfort goes, the seat is both horizontally and vertically adjustable, and this allows the user to set a comfortable riding posture, no matter what his/her physical proportions. Besides, the movement of the bike is very fluid, quiet and consistent, and the resistance is smooth. All this is possible because of the heavy-duty 8.5 kg flywheel and the ECB Magnetic Brake that has been provided for tension control. The bike features 16 different electronically adjustable resistance levels and a Poly V drive belt. For further convenience, the bike is fitted with self-righting pedals.

The console of the Horizon Focus 308 features 11 workout programmes, including one custom workout, one HRC workout and 9 programming modes: Foot Hill, Manual, Intervals, Watts Control, Rolling, Weight Loss, After Burner, Mountain and Cross Country. With this much variety, users will have something different to look forward to every workout, and their focus and motivation levels should remain high. The display is a 7” LCD screen with an easily navigable user-interface. All the essential workout statistics can be seen at a glance, including one’s heart rate. The heart rate monitoring is done using a Polar Chip Receiver and Hand Pulse Grips. Apart from these features, the bike has very compact dimensions of 104 x 58 x 130 cm, and is ultra-light weight at 37.5 kg. The maximum user weight it can accommodate is an impressive 130 kg. Its steel frame comes in an attractive silver grey colour and it has a lifetime warranty. The brake has a lifetime warranty too, and the other parts and labour come with 3-year warranty periods. The bike requires a power outlet to run.

All in all, the Focus 308 is an ergonomically designed upright bike, with excellent workout variety and movement that is both smooth and fluid.
