The Sole R72 and R92 Recumbent Bikes feature a large comfortable adjustable seat with backrest for support and correct posture, with ergonomically designed pedals which have a 2 degree inward cant to minimize strain on your feet and knees.
The Sole R92 is the higher-end model over the R72 recumbent bike, constructed for more intensive use with a heavier flywheel (20 lb compared to the R72’s 18 lb). Both bikes offer 1-20 levels of smooth and quiet ECB (Eddy Current Brake) magnetic resistance with quick-touch controls on the console for easy adjustments.

The Sole R72 and R92 both offer a variety of 10 pre-set workout programs including hill and strength training. There are 6 standard programs, 2 heart-rate programs, and 2 custom programs. You can choose to follow the set programs or design your own and pedal at your own pace.
The consoles on both the Sole R72 and R92 feature a backlit LCD screen which differs in size between the 2 recumbent bikes, with the R92 having a larger screen at 9” compared to the R72’s 7.5” screen. Both display motivating workout stats such as time, speed, distance, calories burned and heart rate.
Heart-rate can be monitored in 1 of 2 ways, either via the built-in pulse-grip sensors in the handlebars by the side of the seat or via a chest-strap. A chest-strap heart-rate monitor is included with the Sole R92 but not with the R72.
