Precor RBK 815 Features
On-board music and TV programming are available with optional upgrades at checkout. The RBK 815 is compatible with Precor’s 15″ personal viewing screen and can be set up for iPod/iPhone compatibility.
For advanced heart rate monitoring SmartRate® indicates your cardio exertion level with an easy-to-read display. SmartRate® shows three training zones: cardio, fat burn and peak. Your heart rate can be monitored wirelessly or with contact sensors built into the handlebars.
For comfort the RBK 815 provides excellent lumbar support. Its high-backed seat is ventilated (mesh) and has 11 positions available.
The pedals are expertly designed to minimize the amount of pressure put on your knees. The pedals can be used with or without straps. For a custom ride you can replace them with standard road bike pedals.
For practical home use the Precor RBK 815 measures 66″ long and 23″ wide. If used regularly, this bike doesn’t require a power cord; the console battery will keep charged from users’ energy. The frame has transport wheels for easy repositioning after exercise
