Design and Build Quality
Heavy Duty Steel Frame CC81 Built with a heavy-duty steel frame. At the same time, its vertical design saves up space, making it perfect for home gyms with limited space. The machine itself measures 59 x 31 x 86 inches in size and weighs around 265 pounds.
Its sturdy build can accommodate users weighing up to 400 pounds, making it suitable for a diverse range of fitness enthusiasts.
Pedals and Handlebars
CC81 comes with oversized, 15-in, non-slip pedals with a 2-degree inward tilt for a less stressful ride on the ankle and knee.
Such an intelligent design is extremely good for correct body alignment and comfort for the person using it. Multi adjustable handlebars with four height positions and adjustable fore/aft rotation. This adjustability allows users to target different muscle groups and customize their workout experience.
Resistance and Flywheel
Compatible with a 25-pound flywheel, the CC81 offers smooth and consistent resistance. There are 20 levels of manually controlled electromagnetic (ECB) resistance available to users, making the workout intensity range a broad one. The resistance is adjustable with a turn dial, allowing for smooth transitions between levels while exercising.
Console and Programs
It features a 5-inch by 3-inch LCD display that gives you real-time feedback on important workout stats, including time, speed, distance, resistance, energy burned, pulse, vertical meters, total steps per minute, and program selection. And, with six pre-programmed workouts, it includes manual, hill, fat burn, cardio, strength, and HIIT, so it caters to a range of fitness goals.
Additional Features
The CC81 comes with a tablet holder, for even more convenient use—we can use some entertainment or training app during workouts. Two water bottle holders are positioned within easy reach, keeping users hydrated. Compatible with a chest strap for heart rate monitoring, the machine allows for targeted training zones.
User Experience
The CC81 is lauded by users for being well made and smooth operating. Excited about the machine’s ability to deliver an intense but low-impact workout, another positive aspect that came up several times. But some users have complained that assembling the bike requires two people and that plastic parts have broken in transit or while being assembled.
