What is the difference with spin bikes with front flywheel vs the rear flywheel?Updated 6 days ago

Having the flywheel at the front allows you to be closer to the handlebars, providing a more compact and traditional riding position. In contrast, rear flywheel bikes typically have a V-shaped frame design, which can position you slightly further from the handlebars. This is to imitate a road bike riding position.


Additionally, rear wheel spin bikes are advantageous as they avoid sweat dripping onto the wheel. Many designs feature a covered or partially covered flywheel, offering better protection and reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance.
