Stationary bikes have been around for a while now and have even become a common item in our living rooms, leaving aside the fitness center where they are a must-have. Indoor cycling bikes have been introduced, meant to replicate a real outdoor bike. However, experienced riders who, for different reasons, need to exercise indoors, realize that the feeling of riding this type of cycling bikes doesn't come even close to the real thing, because they remain very rigid.

This is where RealRyder intervenes. The ABF8 model offers a fresh alternative to indoor exercising by reproducing a road bike. This is due to its unique, articulating frame that allows the user to steer, lean and flex it, besides the normal pedaling motion.

All these are said to expand the effect of your workout beyond the legs' muscle area: you are also working your upper body and core muscle group. Add in the cardio and the improvement of your sense of balance and you’ve gotten yourselves a 5-in-1 workout for the whole body. The calories are burned faster, so you get in shape faster without leaving your living room.

As a result of all this turning and flexing, you are also supposed to experience a mental and emotional excitement that really gives you the feeling of a true outdoor workout. Not only this, but it looks great as well. It features a black frame and shrouding, a polished flywheel and even two bottle holders, one of which can hold your remote control.

Such a cool piece of fitness equipment couldn't have come with a low price tag. Nonetheless, $2,000 is a bit exaggerated for what it actually offers and that is the reason RealRyder ABF8 won't probably make it very soon to our local fitness centers or homes.
