NordicTrack GX 3.5 Sport Cycle Review

The NordicTrack GX 3.5 Sport Cycle is a “sports” or “spinning” exercise bike. It’s similar to a racing type cycle and has the seat, pedals and handlebars positioned to enable a forward leaning, crouched down posture.

The cycle features a heavy (40 lbs) inertia enhanced, flywheel to provide a smooth, natural action and a resistance mechanism that can be used to adjust the intensity of the workout.

A console mounted in front of the rider includes a back-lit, LCD display which provides feedback data on the workout session such as speed, time, and watts.

The machine is covered by a 5 yrs warranty on the frame, and 90 days parts and labor warranty.

Here’s a list of the main features:

… adjustable handlebars

The sports cycle features handlebars that are fitted with a non-slip material and have been engineered to be comfortable and help reduce fatigue.

The handlebars can be adjusted both up and down and fore and aft in order to obtain the optimum riding position.

… adjustable saddle

To ensure a good seating position during your workout the sport cycle is fitted with a padded saddle. The seat can be adjusted both up and down as well as forward and back to ensure the optimum seating position for the user.

… steel frame

The frame of the sports cycle is constructed from commercial grade steel, making it extremely sturdy and has been treated with a corrosion inhibitor to ensure a long life.

… pedals with toe clips

The sports cycle is equipped with toe cages and adjustable straps to keep your feet in place just like on a road going cycle.

… back-lit display

The easy to read, back-lit, LCD display shows the following data:

SPEED, TIME, and WATTS.

… precision flywheel

An important component of any exercise bike is the flywheel. This model has a 40 lbs, inertia enhanced flywheel that has been designed to give a silky smooth operation. This will benefit the user with a much more natural, fluid feel when pedaling.

… adjustable resistance

This sports cycle makes it easier to burn calories and increase your muscle tone by allowing the user to increase or decrease the amount of resistance that is applied to the bike’s motion.

… transport wheels

The equipment has two transport wheels attached to the front of the frame that enable the equipment to be moved easily from one location to another.

… water bottle holder

A conveniently located water bottle holder is attached to the frame in a similar position as you would find on a conventional cycle.
