What is the difference with spin bikes with front flywheel vs the rear flywheel?Updated 10 months 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.
