Reebok GB40 Exercise Bike

Product Information

I need to mention too that, despite it being a reasonably compact machine, I do think the console could have been a little more expansive. Besides the fact it’s a little dated in terms of looks, I do feel like it needed to have been stretched out just a little more. I see no reason why an extra program or a slightly bigger screen couldn’t have been included and still stayed a pretty low price. Because of the features available I actually think they’ve under priced this machine, and so could have afforded to go up a notch and create something slightly better with the same success and demographic met. MUTE AND SAFE: The gym bike uses an internal magnetically controlled flywheel, which is more robust and mute, producing only 20 decibels of sound.Compared with ordinary exercise bikes, the magnetic control body-building bicycle is small in wear and uniform in force, and the resistance is controlled by the magnetic control wheel, so that the body-building is achieved, and the joint is not hurt. Some people swear by padded gel saddles – as the default on even upper end exercise bikes can be hard on the behind! I would also recommend a rubber mat. These are inexpensive and can save wear on your carpets or hardwood floors. Working Out on the GB40 from Reebok – Console and Adjustable Resistance Even so, the Reebok GB40 exercise bike has a reliable 5.5″ LCD screen that allows you to monitor the time, speed, RPM, distance, calories, pulse, and watts.

There’s also an integrated tablet holder at the top of the console for holding any personal device securely. The unit doesn’t come with a tablet, but your own tablet or smartphone should fit here. If you want to push yourself through fitness apps or join an online workout class, this feature is a plus. Final Verdict on the Reebok GB40 Review

Popular Brands

Here you get a fairly basic exercise bike but with all the main functions that you need and includes a dual adjustable padded saddle which provide additional support as you work out. The pedals are rubberised and there is the magnetic resistance system and the flywheel weight here comes in at 6kg. The flywheel here is 7kg, the pedals are self-balancing and in addition the foot pedal straps can also be adjusted. Please note that the battery needs to be charged initially for 8 hours when delivered and is then recharged automatically from your own movements on the bike thereafter so this is an eco-friendly choice.

Setup for the GB40s was simple using Reebok’s handy numbered guide, if you were putting this together by yourself then I think it would take around 90 minutes to put together from box to final product. One of the most recognisable brands in the world, Reebok doesn’t just do sportswear and trainers. They also make sports equipment, including exercise bikes and over the years they’ve shown us almost everything from the sublime to the err, less-so. We wanted to see what you can currently get from them at the entry-level point so see how their offering measures up against the competition, so we got in the Reebok One GB40 upright exercise bike for examination. Assembly is pretty much as you’d expect from a Reebok machine and took less than 40 minutes to complete the build. All parts were present and correct on our test model, with clear instructions and all components fitting together as intended. The console on the GB40 is, as you might expect on a manual bike, basic. The screen is bright and easy-to-read and the basic data is easy to see. There are 4 workout options (based on time, distance, calories and manual) to choose from. Three of these are based on a metric that the computer can calculate and are target based. eg Set your workout to last for 15 minutes, and the computer will count down 15 minutes. Set your target for calorie burn, and the computer will calculate theoretical calorie burn based on RPM, distance, speed and time elapsed and you stop pedalling when you reach your target. Of course, this is very limited in nature but nevertheless, it does do a job. The reason for this limitation is that the GB40 features a manual resistance system rather than a one that’s computer-controlled. You can choose from various types of different workouts as there are 32 different levels of resistance available so you can gradually increase the intensity overtime. The console has all the main functions that you would expect including the speeds, distances, times, pulse rate and calories used.There are 8 levels of manual resistance to work through depending on how hard you want to work and both the saddle seat and handlebars are adjustable to suit your individual needs. Please note that the saddle height can be adjusted from between 66cm up to 90cm. Similar to the Jet100 above, this time we have reviewed the Jet100S which is slightly different in terms of features it can offer but the price tends to be considerably lower also making it a lot more attractive for many buyers. The flywheel here is 6kg in weight, there are the self-level pedals and it can handle a maximum user weight of 120kg. To help build out the stamina in your legs, you can select different workout regimes be it fat burning or high intensity cardiovascular fitness. The 32 resistance levels provide enough range on the Reebok GB40. And, because the bike uses magnetic resistance, it doesn’t make any noise when you ride it. This means it is a bike that you could easily use any time of the day or night. Console

Pre-assembly was mentioned, and in general, people were happy with the quality and the workouts. It is fairly early days since the ZR8 Bike was replaced, so I do recommend you take a moment to scan through the more recent comments for yourself. Wrapping Up: Is the Reebok GR40 Stationary Bike the Right Model for You? Another Reebok exercise bike that is worth a closer look also if you have additional money to spend is the Reebok Titanium TC2 Exercise Bike which comes with a lot more added features and benefits to get more out of your training and to help make it more enjoyable. Overall has excellent value for the quality you are getting – a sturdy and solid piece of equipment Next under this review is the GB40s One Series which shouldn’t be confused with the GB40 above as there are differences in the features available and the flywheel weight for the GB40S is 3kg heavier than the GB40, plus there are 24 more resistance tension levels to work with.
