Exercising is a huge pastime for most people nowadays as more and more people want to get “that” body and look. Unfortunately exercising is hard and expensive if you want to get the best exercise equipment. An exercise bike is the best value for your buck compared to other exercise equipments. In this article I’ll be introducing you the Keys exercise bike which has received rave reviews recently even though its not a very popular bike like Schwinn or Fitness Quest.

Keys Health Trainer 840R

The first exercise bike from Keys that I would like introduce to you is the Health Trainer 840R which costs around $600. It is a recumbent bike which means extra comfort while exercising and a smooth ride with no back pain and neck strain issue. The 840R also has a magnetic resistance that ensures a smooth and quiet ride; even changing the resistance is smooth and effortless.

The one thing different about Keys HT 840R is the ergonomic feature on its seat to ensure that you have a good back support and that you won’t get back pain even sitting on it for a long time. With a solid frame and an easy to navigate menus, this is a winner in our lists.

Key Health Trainer 640R

If however you’re looking for something cheaper with Keys then get the Keys Health Trainer 640R Recumbent Bike for around $370 to $380. What’s the differences between the 640R and the 840R? Well the 640R has a less comfortable and smaller seat; no backlit on their menu, no fan to keep you cool and no built in water bottle. It sounds like the 640R has a lot less to offer than a 840R but the opposite is the truth. Sure it’s inconvenient to not have a water bottle built into it but you can get your own water bottle and you can also get a fan to keep you cool (the ones they have built it never blow hard enough anyway)

The only significant change is the smaller seat thus it’s less comfortable, but if you’re small in size then that won’t be a problem either. However bear in mind that the 640R is less sturdy because it is not made with the same solid material the 840R is made of.

Conclusion

You don’t need to buy the 840R but if you can afford it I would highly recommend it since it will last you longer without any problem, has more bells and whistles that adds more comfort to your exercise and is more stable. (Doesn’t shake in high speed pedaling) The 640R is great value for money and you should definitely get this if its in your budget.
