The Frame & Construction 

The Women’s Health Men’s Health Eclipse Indoor Cycling Bike is built to support 300 lbs./136 kg maximum user weight capacity. It has a heavy-duty steel frame that is coated with black anti-corrosive paint while the logo is inscribed in red on the main frame tubing. 

Some of the notable parts that are made of ABS material include the belt-drive cover, the magnetic pad cover, and the device holder.  

The base is equipped with front and rear steel stabilizer bars that have adjustable levelers for enhanced stability. Therefore, even when a heavy user rides the bike it won’t wobble or rock. Besides, the stability is further improved by the bike’s overall assembled weight of 89 lbs./40 kg. 

That said, it is important to consider placing the unit on a protective rubber mat to prevent floor damage and vibration. `  

The dimensions of the bike when fully assembled are 55’’ long by 26’’ wide by 52’’ high. To put it differently, the bike needs a workout area with measurements of 4’5’’ (139.7 cm) in length by 2’16’’ (66 cm) in width, and an additional 2’ clearance on both sides of it, and the rear for safety and ease of access purposes.  

The cycling bike can easily be moved around the room via the front-mounted transport wheels regardless of its weight.  

The Seat of the Women’s Health Men’s Health Eclipse Indoor Cycling Bike

The seat is wide and cushioned with PU foam. It also has a median groove for air breathability.  

The overall feel of the bike is average, and you will probably need to use a gel seat cover, or have it completely replaced if you often ride longer.  

The seat is 4-way adjustable. This means you can have it adjusted vertically (upward/downward) and horizontally (fore/aft).  

It takes only a few seconds to adjust the seat to the positions that fit you.  

Due to the seat’s adjustability, users between the heights of 5’-6’4’’ tall can be accommodated.  

The Handlebar 

The indoor cycling bike has an ergonomic multi-grip designed handlebar that offers multiple workout positions. You can ride in a standard position, in a mountain climbing position, and in a race position.  

It is coated with anti-sweat soft rubber foam for a firm and comfortable grip.  

It is 2-way adjustable; meaning you can adjust it only vertically (upward/downward).  

There are no heart rate sensors integrated into it. Thus, the bike does not have a heart rate monitoring system. So, if you wish to monitor your heart rate data during a workout you may have to use an external HR monitoring device such as an HR wristwatch.  

The Pedals 

The pedals are toe-caged with adjustable safety straps. They can accommodate standard gym shoes (not special spin shoes).  

Users of different foot sizes can be accommodated securely and comfortably even when they do standup pedaling.  

The aluminum alloy pedals are attached to wide chrome-plated crank arms and a 3-piece crankset. Therefore, heavy users can safely ride the bike while seated or standing.  

Finally, if you are enthusiastic about exercising with special spin shoes, then you may want to swap the pedals for SPD because the thread size is 9/16’’.  

The Drive 

The Women’s Health Men’s Health Eclipse Indoor Cycling Bike is a belt-driven cardiovascular machine. This means the drive system has elements such as an anti-stretch v poly belt, a pulley, and the 17.6 lbs./8 kg perimeter weighted cast iron flywheel with a chrome rim.  

As a result, the bike’s operation is smoother and quieter than a chain-drive system. Moreover, no maintenance is required either.  

Users will exercise without experiencing vibration, thanks to the high inertia flywheel that provides consistent momentum.  

You don’t have to worry about disturbing the family members or those living close or next to you whenever you exercise. You will instead invest your effort in getting your fitness goals achieved.  

Since the drive is bidirectional, you will be able to pedal forward & backward to diversify your workouts and tone more muscle groups.  

However, pull the red lever above the tension knob down to instantly stop the spinning of the flywheel whenever you intend to abruptly stop pedaling for safety reasons. This is necessary because the flywheel and the pedals spin simultaneously and do not allow you to coast as you could on a road bicycle.  

The Resistance System 

This cycling bike is equipped with a magnetic resistance system with 14 predefined adjustable levels.  

The components of the resistance system include magnetic brake pads, the tension control knob, and the flywheel.  

Resistance is produced when the magnetic brake pads release magnetic fields over the chrome rim of the flywheel, and the resistance level is determined by how close or far away the magnetic brake pads are to the flywheel.  

In other words, the closer the brake pads are to the flywheel the stronger the resistance becomes and the farther away they are the weaker it becomes.  

So, to increase or decrease the resistance level, simply turn the tension control knob clockwise or counterclockwise, respectively.  

Interestingly, the operation of the bike remains smooth and quiet since the magnetic brake pads and the flywheel do not make contact. Differently put, no friction occurs during the process of generating resistance.  

The resistance system does not need lubrication. adjustment, or part replacement.  

The Console 

The Women’s Health Men’s Health Eclipse Indoor Cycling Bike does not have a console and compatibility with workout apps as the Joroto X4S Cycling Bike does.  

That said, it is Bluetooth-enabled and compatible with the MyCloudFitness workout app. Thus, the workout progress is tracked via a smartphone or a tablet device.  

The app is available on Google Play for Android users and on Apple Store for iOS-based users.  

The free version of the MyCloudFItness app allows you to track stats such as Time, Resistance Level, Watts, RPM, Calories Burned, and Speed.  

Whereas the premium MyCloudFitness workout app allows you to access more features such as on-demand workouts, training with personal trainers, the ability to cycle on scenic trails, HIIT, Yoga, and more.  

We understand that before you subscribe to the monthly fee, you will be given a one-month free trial. 

Unfortunately, this is the only workout app the bike can sync to.  

The bike comes with 2 AAA batteries for Bluetooth transmission technology because there is no monitor or console.  

Accessory 

There is a water bottle holder integrated for proper hydration purposes, and there is also a retractable tablet holder that could hold a sizeable device securely.  

If the holder is in a vertical position, the device must be placed in a landscape format to fit in and not in a portrait format.  

Therefore, users will be able to enjoy using their devices to view workouts on the app or watch entertainment videos while working out.  

Storage 

The Women’s Health Men’s Health Eclipse Indoor Cycling Bike could be stored in a storage area with measurements of 4’5’’ (139.7 cm) in length by 2’16’’ (66 cm) in width.  

The transport wheels at the front base enable users to easily maneuver the unit within the room without a struggle even though it weighs 89 lbs./40 kg.
