Overall Quality

The Spirit XIC600 Upright Cycle was our third-place winner for 2021 Best Buy for the $700 to $999 price point and offers a quality machine for those who are budget-conscious yet want a decent riding workout. The flywheel is heavy duty steel and weighs a hefty 48.5 lbs. allowing for many levels of resistance controlled by a simple rotary knob that increases or decreases with a quick twist. Keep in mind you cannot brake indoor cycles like a normal bike so push down on the knob to stop the machine and keep from injuring feet or legs. The XIC600 has a belt driven system that keeps performance smooth during each exercise session. The console is battery operated and contains a simple LCD screen that displays feedback throughout each workout and is easy to use. The seat is replaceable and can be adjusted up and down, and back and forth while the pedals have a choice of either toe cages or straps for riding ease.
