Trixter X-Bike 1000 Indoor Cycling Bike

Detailed Description for Trixter X-Bike 1000 Indoor Cycling Bike

The Total Body X-Bike brings the benefits of Outdoor Cycling Indoors. The patented X-Bars allow the user to engage the upper body into the workout along with the legs and cardiovascular system. This improves the whole body workout and it really feels as though you are cycling outside.

The X-Bike offers a wide range of workouts. With conventional exercise bikes you are limited to a sit down workout that only uses the legs.

Athletes & Cyclists Reviews

Just to prove that we mean what we say when speaking about how X-Biking is as close as you can get to the real experience of outdoor cycling, check out the profiles of the elite athletes below and read how they feel about how the X-Bike has help advance their performance in sport.

Greg Minnaar
World Cup Downhill Mountain Bike Champion ‘05, ‘03, ‘01
Norba Downhill Champion ’04, ‘03

"To win the World Cup, a series of 8 races, my key word is consistency. For this I invariably use the X-Bike as it gives me the complete warm up I need before tackling the World Cup downhill courses. The race courses these days are so demanding on all parts of your body that for me it's vital not just to warm up the legs, but my entire body before the race. I've been using the X-Bike now for 2 years and there is no question that using the X-Bike has been integral in my recent success. 5 of my World Cup wins were achieved by integrating X-Bike training into my preparations".

Missy Giove
2 times World Champion and 3 times U.S National Champion now working as a training consultant and mega advocate to Trixter North America.

Missy States “X-Bike gives me an ultimate full-body workout while I get my cardio in at the same time. It has helped me get leaner and stronger as a result. It also helps me strengthen joint integrity in my shoulders. It really is superior indoor training”

Scott Beaumont
2 times World Champion and 8 times British National Champion, currently preparing for the 2005 tour with and X-Bike. A Trixter share holder and serious fan of X-Bike

Scott states “I’ve been blown away by the benefits the X-Bike has brought, and I’m really excited at the gains which I know are coming in the future as I make more use of the bike. I’ll be keeping an X-Bike in my new Motorhome, so no matter where I am I can get a quality workout, whatever the weather. The fact that the music for the workouts deliver similar interval training to those which my trainer planned for me in the past gives me the reassurance that I’m not wasting my training time”. SB Oct 2004

Christophe Sauser
Another Swiss based XC mountain biker, Christophe competed in this years Athens Olympics as well as a regular on the World Cup, Sea Otter Classic and Swisspower Cup. Loves warming up on his X-Bike.
Quote: “Before the Trixter Bike came out I did not know that indoor riding could be fun too! The Trixter Bike comes really close to real riding! You can ride it even off the saddle, because of the ergonimic moving handle bar…it has made a big contribution to my training” Nov 2004
