Tunturi Exercise Bikes - A Decent Choice for the Home User

Tunturi is the largest maker of bicycles in Finland, and Tunturi exercise bikes are increasingly popular with home exercise enthusiasts. Tunturi is part of the International Accell Group, which is headquartered in Turku, Finland.

Tunturi exercise bikes are quite popular in their price range, and the upright model F330, with an estimated retail price of $600, provides a smooth and quiet operation, an excellent handgrip heart rate monitor and a manually adjusted magnetic resistance.

The F330 model Tunturi exercise bike lacks the programs found on higher priced models, and at 245 pounds the weight capacity is lower than many competitive models. Tunturi offers a two year warranty on the F330,and while it can be extended to three years when the bike is registered, the warranty is still not as generous as those offered by competing models by Schwinn and Nautilus.

It is important to understand that Tunturi exercise bikes are not geared toward the top end market. Instead Tunturi exercise bikes are designed for the casual home user. Therefore, they may lack the extensive features and durability of some of the higher quality, and higher priced competition.

Two of the newest Tunturi exercise bikes on the market are the E85 and the E85S. Tunturi exercise bikes have long used the power of computing technology to provide excellent feedback during a workout, and the E85 and E85S continues that trend while reducing the complexity and increasing the user friendliness of their functions.

The E85 Tunturi exercise bike features a step through frame design, while the E85S features a sportier, low slung frame which includes adjustable handlebars, a racing saddle and racing pedals.

Both these models of Tunturi exercise bikes feature an excellent top resistance of 600 watts, and they both feature a brand new console display and module. The E85 and E85S models of Tunturi exercise bikes both feature plenty of computing power, and the logic of the controls is quite user friendly and easy to use.
