Components of Nautilus U616 Bike
We have distributed the whole review into several small fragments by describing functioning and usefulness of all the components. Hence, you can get a detailed idea about the product by going through reviews of individual products.
Fitness Meter
Starting with the best component and dominating feature of the Nautilus U616 upright exercise bike i.e. console. It shows your fitness-status while you perform the workouts. You will find many information and real-time data ranging from speed, distance, calories burned, exercised time, etc. Not to mention the telemetry Bluetooth belt included in this deal is capable of measuring accurate heartbeats and displaying on the console.
Apart from showing the information, there is a lot more to describe the console. It allows the user to save up to 12 distinct user profiles which will be the track record of workouts performed respectively. Additionally, it will allow you to workout on the pre-programmed 29 plans. In fact, you can even customize and save up to 4 exercising plans, two fitness tests, a recovery test, and a quick-start.
In addition to that, this console allows you to connect a Bluetooth device i.e. smartphone or tablet for remote operating the system. It will sync all the fitness data with the Bluetooth device’s data. Additionally, there are apps working which performs all such tasks and pairing. Apps i.e. Nautilus ConnectTM, MyFitnessPal, and Nautilus TrainerTM serve the similar purpose.
Finally, the console has a twin speaker which works on Bluetooth, USB, and other mp3 inputs. It makes exercising a lot entertaining and motivating.
Built-in Fan
The fan in the console set up is a mere luxury you can get on an exercising bike. It is a three-speed fan which can keep you fresh during a scrutinizing workout session. Although Nautilus U614 also has a fan we like this one better. Nevertheless, a fan this small will only give you chill breeze passing through your sweaty body.
Resistance
The bike weighs 76 pounds after packaging out of which the major weight is due to the flywheel. Such a heavy flywheel will not only offer you an active cardio workout but also the HIIT and Crossfit when required.
Transporting Wheels
There are two small transporting wheels at the front bottom of the bike on the horizontal leg. To use these wheels, you shall firstly, tilt the bike forward similar to performing a stoppie. There the bike will get on the transport wheels.
However, handling a heavy equipment like Nautilus U616 upright exercise bike is not an easy task. Additionally, the wheels will not roll if tangled in any kind of obstacles. In fact, many people find it difficult to move the bike on a carpet.
