ProForm Pro C10U – Review

Anyone looking for a lightweight and affordable upright bike will come across ProForm Pro C10U, which is a decent buy for those who want a compact machine without too many frills. It is certainly not the highest performing upright bike in the market, but you should not expect it to be, given its price range. The ProForm brand is renowned for providing affordable machines with solid performance specs and this is precisely what this one offers.

The Workout Experience

Like most upright bikes, the ProForm Pro C10U uses magnetic resistance and weighted flywheel for creating the resistance you will work against. While the manufacturer has not disclosed the weight of the flywheel, it is estimated to be about 14 to 15 pounds. Even though it is not too heavy, it is still able to deliver a smooth cycling experience.

You will find a total of 25 resistance levels to explore, which is more than enough variety and it gives you control of the intensity of your workouts. It uses a belt drive system, which is another plus because it means you do not have to worry about noise or disturbing others.

Footprint and Portability

One of the best things about the ProForm Pro C10U is that it is a compact upright bike that does not require a lot of space. Even if you have limited space, you can still invest in this bike. The dimensions are 21.2” x 34.5” x 58” and weighs about 77 pounds, which means it is not too heavy either. The weight capacity supported is about 275 pounds and this is lower than the standard 300 pounds. But, the bike comes with transport wheels that make it easy to move it about a room when you want.

The Ergonomics

The foot pedals on the ProForm Pro C10U are extra-wide for providing users comfort and they come with adjustable straps to keep your feet secure. The seat on the bike is also fully adjustable, as you can adjust not just the height, but also its front and back position. This ensures that everyone can find a comfortable riding position when using the bike. There is also a cooling fan built into the bike to keep you cool during your workout.

Technology and other Features

The most prominent feature of the ProForm Pro C10U is the 10-inch HD touchscreen, which has been designed to pair with iFIT, allowing you to take advantage of interactive programming for your workouts. With the 30-day access available to iFIT, you can enjoy a wide array of workouts.

There are some additional features that you will find on the ProForm Pro C10U, which include 2-inch Bluetooth speakers, a water bottle holder and quick touch buttons for adjusting your resistance levels.
