Like the Trim 300 R, this one also looks spectacular. Cosco did a lovely job with the Trim series of exercise bikes. It has an eight-level magnetic resistance along with a 6 kg flywheel. With the magnetic resistance technology, the maintenance is almost zero.

A 9 kg flywheel along with adjustable pedals aid in the workout. Along with the pre-set programs, we see four target programs for intense workouts.

The fibre wind wheel has a diameter of 430mm with a braking track. It consists of an adjustable strap for manual control. The high-quality rotating parts mean that you experience a near noiseless operation. However, the fan wheel will still generate noise due to air resistance.

A spin exercise bike has a much sturdier construction and is best suited for an intense workout. The AF 110 has a 12 kg high inertia spin wheel with a smart release breaking system, which provides safe dependable performance for an unsupervised rider. The dual side brake system improves the stability. It is metal belt driven with a centre design drive making it ideal for high speeds. Low centre of gravity with a stable frame prevents rocking during all those intense workouts.
 
The seat offers both horizontal and vertical adjustment while the self-balancing wide pedals are excellent. Even the handlebars of the AF 110 are adjustable. The multi-feedback display reads out time, distance, speed, and calories instantaneously. The bike is on the heavier side and will be a problem to relocate within the house. However, we see transportation wheels to ease movement.

Four minutes of inactivity shuts the display. The adjustable seat is comfortable. You will not get the self-balancing pedals with the CEB 604 A, though.
 
The best part about the CEB 604 A is that you can use the bike in three different ways. You can use the dual mode for both the upper and the lower body workout while the other modes offer a more specific action on the upper and the lower body.
