Magnetic Vs Friction Resistance Spin Bikes - Which Is Better?

[@badstyles84]

This was exactly the kind of comparison video I was looking for, thank you! Also you should remove the background music during the noise test lol

[@DrN007]

9:40 Permanent magnets wear out too. It's just a matter of how much you use them. Electromagnets would be ideal.

[@LuminousSuperstar]

nope. magnets are forever, until the sun dies anyway because all magnets get their energy from the sun according to my English teacher

[@jonathaneveritt9820]

Thank you. Magnetic for me. Really quiet. I made the correct choice fortunately despite seeing your video post-purchase.

[@sqd8r]

I'm a magnetic fan. I have a magnetic rower, stairstepper and bike. The reasons are they are whisper quiet, my spin bike I can carry on a conversation at normal volume. To be clear, I make more noise breathing heavy than the machines. This is advantageous for noise sensitive spaces. Additionally, they offer better tracking of performance. You can pick a level of resistance instead of turning a knob, if the knob doesn't really have performance increments. So spin bikes boasting 100 levels of resistance isn't really accessible in terms of fine tuning as you use the machine. Whereas a magnetic resistance machine, you pick a level of resistance and it is instantly accessible and trackable. The only consideration is that high priced magnetic machines offer more resistance. The only negative for magnetic that offers high resistance for strong users is price compared o non-magnetic versions.

The background music is slightly a bit too loud so I can't really hear both bikes noise level very well but all the same, it looks like the magnetic resistance is much better in terms of noise level. Great video.👍🏻

[@mproductionsmusik]

Great explanation and review of both bike technology. Im going to get the magnetic bike it sound like a better quality ride with less noise. Worth the extra money.

[@markiv2942]

Why you have silly music playing on the background when you are testing noise levels?

[@hudajehan]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Thiernodjo]

It's a featuring noise ft stupid background music

[@microwavegommmm916]

😂😂

[@leilahakim5851]

Hello Can so advise me please? I'm about to buy a Body bike supreme and it's a friction resistance. I saw this video and now I'm hesitant between the supreme bike and a magnetic bike Thanks in advance

[@fgfanta]

Nobody ever mentions that magnets require some speed to begin to offer resistance, so what is the magnetic resistance at very low RPM? Is it enough to simulate a steep climb?

[@zuluwarriorprincess]

Thanks for the video. Btw your accent is pretty cool.

[@Galactusz007]

It’s just an average Irish accent, nothing to go bananas for…

[@selfdestructivef0rce]

I was on a budget so i got a friction bike but for 150 i cant complain

[@shinobusensui9395]

It would have been better to have the music off during the noise test

[@brianrhodes417]

Can you put a friction pad on a magnetic bike? I need more resistance.

[@armandourquidi915]

Pro-tip: I was able to tell which bike he prefers to ride within 5 seconds of the video... the better pedals are on the magnetic resistance bike. I'm gonna pick up an Echelon EX3 myself.

[@mamabravo100]

What do you do when the magnetic resistance is so strong even at the lowest knob setting? I hardly add any resistance because of this issue

[@jesmondo5785]

Steroids

[@jesmondo5785]

Only joking, please don't take steroids

[@jesmondo5785]

Unless you've been advised to by your healthcare provider

[@shinobusensui9395]

Maybe try standing to start and then sit. Do this till you build the strength for that level

[@haidagwaiiintel7696]

Good vid

[@kevinhuff2004]

Can you do different resistance or will that do more harm than good??

[@cyclefromhome3694]

Hi Kevin, Resistance levels can be cranked up to the maximum on each type of bike. As you would be using more of the felt pad on a friction based spin bike this will have greater wear and tear over a period of time. However on a magnetic spin bike, as there is no actual connection there shouldn't be any real harm done to the bike

[@lukegibbs8570]

Even better I ordered a LIFE SPAN FITNESS SM410 magnetic, looks almost identical to the Joroto X2, I had to go for reliability after having my automatic bikes computer break!... That should sort me out!

[@emmad4tennis695]

I'm currently looking at Lifespan spin bikes. How do you like yours? My concern is the flywheel weight of the sm420 is only 12kg for the price compared to the friction ones which is about 18kg. But hearing the noise from this video...I'm leaning towards getting the magnetic one. *To the creator, thanks for the video.

[@lukegibbs8570]

@@emmad4tennis695 the sm410 life span fitness magnetic works great!!! It's been running smooth for years now and will probably never break! It's great! I just pedal for A minute then turn it up a spin until I'm warmed up, biggest exercise I did was 1 full hour on full intensity on the life span fitness 410 magnetic and that was nice after over a year of preparation riding practise on my magnetic spin bike!

[@aayushsachdev5352]

Nice video

[@rockyrover173]

Give me friction resistance. Quiet is irrelevant

[@lukegibbs8570]

Buv you so lit ay, you legicktit cuzzy like f yess... Da bike I just got has electromagnetic automatic resistance transfer... Except it had a broken computer when it arrived so now they will send me another one for warranty replacement. And it weighs 59kg... Hope the new one works ay!

[@DerMitDemWolfTanzte]

👍

[@lukegibbs8570]

First ride on the automatic change fortis exercise bike was good!!! The max intensity is strong enough to burn serious energy and get a great exercise done! I think the SM410 life span fitness will be allot better just for using no electricity and having a heart rate sensor ECT plus perhaps a less vulnerable function BUT if I wanna change intensity automatically I'll be glad to have a session on the auto bike also I guess! Here's a video demo of my first run! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHfJqmCprqlpd9k

[@paulcrawford5153]

they should make one you with an electric kettle attached so you can brew yourself a cup of tea.

[@pokellaa]

Magnetic dont have as much resistance as friction! Lol.... I got friction, lol, f talking while biking!🎉🎉🎉

[@aishajones5413]

My pad came out.i have a bike with one on top

[@cyclefromhome3694]

Hi Aisha I hope you were able to get it fitted back on or even replaced

[@vishambarchauhan5622]

I am not gay but damn u are so cute 🤗 very informative video. Thanks alot

[@dhanyrafael]

Even if you would be gay, we don't have a problem. We all are humans after all. Wishing you all the best. 😃👍
