SNEWS ONLINE MAGAZINE TOUTS THE TRIXTER X-BIKE AS "A MORE
FUN AND EFFECTIVE INDOOR BIKE WORKOUT"
"Gives An Indoor Trainer The True Feel Of Cycling"
Redwood City, CA - Nov 18, 2004 - The Trixter X-Bike
is currently being featured on the online magazine SNEWS
(Specialty News), the Independent Voice of the Outdoor and Fitness
Industries. SNEWS is a premier
source of information for the outdoor and fitness industries, keeping
it's eyes, ears, and fingers on the pulse of the market.
Following are exerpts from the review. Please read-through
to see why Trixter is leading the future of indoor cycling.
"Although only on the market since mid-2003
going up against the big indoor cycle companies, Trixter and its
X-Bike have hit a chord with an increasing number of users - our
reviewers among others.
If you thought indoor cycle training was all about
just spinning along, you are wrong. Trixter, whose motto is "outdoor
attitude brought indoors," goes beyond just spinning pedals
in a circle on an indoor bike.
Instead, the indoor trainer has a patent-pending
difference that for the first time gives and indoor trainer the
true feel of either mountain biking on trails or road cycling aggressivly
- a handlebar unit that can move side-to-side so you can emulate
pumping up a climb or banking and carving turns.
That motion - which can be varied in speed, amount
and intensity based on a user's needs, interest or fitness level
- not only keeps you from being bored out of your skull on an indoor
ride, but also means you employ both upper body and core (abdominals
and back) muscles for a real upper-body workout you can feel.
The second difference that makes it feel like a
real outdoor bike is a "freewheel" which means when you
stop pedaling, the wheel keeps going so you can "coast"
down hills or around turns, then pick up pedaling again. But that
also means that it's your pedaling that keeps the wheel going, not
momentum from a so-called "fixed gear" that other indoor
trainers have.
More difficult? You betcha. More realistic? You
got it. A better workout and more fun? Hip, hip, hooray!
...Once you get the hang of using the handlebars
and decipher the codes used on the workouts, you're in for a heck
of a workout where time passes quickly.
Once over a learning curve, our reviewers who put
in several dozen workouts and other club users we've spoken to swear
by the workout and the bike. Wouldn't go back to any other."
