Expensive krap

[D Vader]

A little more resistance on the trainer and a little less pouting and posing.

 

Handles seem very uncomfortable, looks like a Pokémon.

[ZakAttak]

Those 'horn'/handle things look really uncomfortable to hold...

 

Although maybe it will serve a purpose... Imagine a future Schwarzenegger/Van Damme type movie... The villain is fitness obsessed with too much money... The final fight scene could end with the hero flinging him across the room and the villain getting impaled on the stationary trainer. As he hangs there coughing up blood, Arnie would say, "Your life cycle is over..."

 

Your imagination is way to wild... and you watch waaaayyyyyyyy, too much movies....

I actually think it looks very good. Just enough adjustment to make it a viable option, and looks FAR better than any other stationary bike I've seen.

 

Yah, form wise I think its very attractive, I would far rather have that standing in my living room than a chunky stationary bike anyway.

 

As to effectiveness, well I dont see any reason why it should not be, although I doubt its designed for competitive cyclists to train on, its more designed to be a light workout for the family, and I think it probably serves that purpose very well.

Yep it does look better than a normal spinning bike or stationery trainer, BUT for that damn price I would expect a lot more than just looks, TV / usb port, ipod port, fan are a few things that come to mind.

 

Pretty sure they lost money on that design

Yah, probably,... the price is certainly not in line with (my) perceived value anyway.

[Mylolylo]

Aw come on boytjies...its made of carbone...must be worth the price tag!

I Actually saw this bike at Harrods in London and thought it was a unicycle. Its is a real piece of art (remember art is made to be looked at).

It made me think of this ZIPP bike that was a Prototype in the 90's.

 

Looks familiar...

I like it.

 

Cool modern almost futuristic design.

[Reg Lizard]

would luv 2 c Sagan wheelie that one

[Andyr249]

I'll take one If that aunty will cycle on it everyday in her little toppie.

 

Look at the house then you can see the market that it's aimed at.

 

I would also if she came with the machine!

[VicanZA]

Would you pay 50'000 ZAR for that?

And that's the discounted price (wonder why...)

 

Retail Price = about 100'0000 ZAR

 

yeah she aint smiling as u dont have one of these....
