Precor UBK 815 Upright Exercise Bike Review
Commercial Grade Fitness Bike

The Precor UBK 815 Upright is capable of handling long hours of heavy use each day with constant adjustment changes from a variety of users.Precor UBK815 Upright

Next, add the Ergonomic Seat Design, the Over-molded Handlebar Design with three comfortable riding positions (upright, cruising and road), Pedaling Biomechanics (for efficient pedaling and reduced shear force on the knee), the Belt Drive System for smoother, quieter operation and reduced maintenance and you start to get a good idea about what makes a high quality commercial grade stationary bike.

If you have been to the local health clubs then you are probably already aware of Precor fitness products and may be familiar with the quality of their stationary bikes. The vast majority of Precor products are commercial grade although you can buy Precor Fitness Bikes, including the Precor UBK 815 online for light commercial or in-home use.

Note: The Precor UBK 815 Upright is no longer available from this site or no longer for sale online.

Please see our Exercise Bike Ratings page for a full listing of the fitness bikes that are available with prices and ratings. (was selling at Amazon for $2,799)

More Features of the Precor UBK 815 Upright

In addition to the features mentioned above, the Precor UBK 815 is Self Powered via a 3-Phase Generator, has a 350lb User Weight Capacity (even if you weigh much less this gives you an idea about how durable this bike is), Dual Sided Pedals, Handle Grip and Telemetry Heart Rate Sensors, Steel Frame with rust-resistant undercoat and cosmetic topcoat, plenty of Entertainment and Motivational options and an excellent home-use warranty.

These are just some of the Key Features of the Precor UBK 815. This upright still includes the more common features found on most residential (and commercial) stationary bikes (i.e. accessory holder, reading rack, transport wheels, etc.) see the Amazon link above or the Features at a Glance below for more details.

Ergonomic Design and Comfort

The following quotes are directly from Precor and I believe that they give a good understanding of the companies goals:

"Precor designs and builds premium fitness equipment for effective workouts that feel smooth and natural." "Precor bikes have been designed to fit your body and work with its natural movements, instead of against them."

You will probably be more comfortable and have a better variety of riding positions on the Precor UBK 815 Upright than you would be on your own outdoor bike (unless maybe your outdoor bike is a recumbent) and you will basically get the same (or better) workout that you would outdoors.

The Precor UBK 815 Upright is a high quality commercial grade stationary bike and therefore it is not for everyone. Precor UBK 815 Console

Aside from larger commercial facilities, the Precor UBK 815 is an excellent choice for light commercial environments (physical therapy clinics, small businesses, apartment complexes, fire or police departments, park districts, apartment complexes, etc. ) or even for residential use (for individuals who are looking for the best high end fitness products for then in-home workout rooms and are willing to pay the extra price).
