13 best stationary bike stands

A stationary bike stand, also known as a bike trainer, is a device that allows cyclists to convert their regular bicycle into a stationary exercise bike. This enables cyclists to train indoors, providing a convenient option for exercise in situations where outdoor cycling may not be possible or desirable. Here are some key points about stationary bike stands:

  1. Types of Bike Stands:

    • Fluid Trainer: Uses a hydraulic system to provide resistance. Resistance increases as the cyclist pedals faster.
    • Magnetic Trainer: Utilizes magnetic force to generate resistance. Some models have adjustable settings to vary the resistance level.
    • Wind Trainer: Uses a fan-like mechanism to generate resistance. The resistance increases as the cyclist pedals faster.
  2. Compatibility: Most stationary bike stands are adjustable to fit various types and sizes of bicycles, including road bikes, mountain bikes, and even some specialized designs like fat bikes.

  3. Setup: They typically require the rear wheel of the bicycle to be mounted onto the trainer. Some advanced models may also require removal of the front wheel.

  4. Resistance Levels: Depending on the type and model, stationary bike stands offer different levels of resistance. Some have adjustable settings that allow cyclists to increase or decrease resistance.

  5. Stability and Balance: A stable base is important to prevent wobbling during use.Some trainers have wider bases or additional supports to enhance stability.

  6. Noise Level: The type of resistance mechanism can affect the noise produced during use. Fluid trainers tend to be quieter compared to wind trainers.

  7. Portability: Some models are foldable or come with transport wheels, making them easier to store or move around.

  8. Additional Features:

    • Smart Trainer Capability: Some advanced models can sync with fitness apps or cycling software to provide data on speed, distance, power output, and more.
    • Power Meters: Certain trainers have built-in power meters to measure the wattage output of the cyclist.
    • Compatibility with Virtual Reality Apps: Some trainers can be used with virtual reality cycling apps that simulate outdoor riding experiences.
  9. Benefits:

    • Year-round Training: Enables cyclists to maintain their training routine regardless of weather conditions.
    • Targeted Workouts: Allows for controlled training sessions with specific resistance levels.
    • Reduced Wear on Tires: Using a trainer reduces wear and tear on outdoor bike tires.
  10. Popular Brands: Some well-known brands in the stationary bike stand market include Wahoo Fitness, Tacx, CycleOps (now Saris), and Elite, among others.

When using a stationary bike stand, it's important to ensure that the bicycle is securely mounted and that safety precautions are followed. Additionally, cyclists should consider using a mat or pad underneath the trainer to protect the floor surface.

User questions & answers

Question: Can this be used on a bike with no gears
Answer: I think so. The 9 yr old should have no problem, and i doubt the 6 yr old would either. The arm that holds the wheel dosent have alot of tension. It moves quite easily. I think its used more as a guide for the wheel. I really like the product and would recomend it.
Question: Can you use this with a BMX bike
Answer: I'd have to agree with previous answer. You could definitely make the rack steady in the bed but with just one wheel sitting in the cradle and no straps for either wheel I wouldn't advise it.
Question: Can i use this on my bike without qr axel? i just have bolts on each side of my mountain bike
Answer: 15" x 19" x 6" when folded
Question: My kit was missing the front wheel riser that is shown in the image and listed as part of the product. Where can I obtain it
Answer: front tire or rear tire off the floor only. not the whole bike.

User questions & answers

Question: Does it come with the front wheel riser
Answer: Magnetic Bike Bicycle Trainer Indoor Stationary Exercise Stand Steel Frame Our indoor bike trainer is constructed of quality magnet, corrosion-resistant alloy roller, and powder coated high carbon steel stand, with the ability to support up to 264.6lb. It features a sturdy mounting system and comes with a quick-release skewer for the rear wheel hub and front-wheel support to stability and safety. This turbo trainer fits for 26'' to 28'' and 700C wheel sizes. Also, its foldable design makes it easy to store and carry. Note: The noise is mainly related to the materials and tread of bike tires. The use of road bikes is highly suggested because the spinning sound will be louder if mountain bike is used. We also recommend using the bike trainer on a carpet to reduce noise. Materials: aluminum alloy, iron, plastic, magnet; Package included: 1 x Bike Trainer; 1 x Front wheel riser block; 1 x Rear wheel skewer; 1 x Instruction
Question: Can u adjust resistance by shifting the gears on the bike
Answer: Not very well but somewhat. Mostly you have to tighten and adjust the roller on the rear wheel. I have 18 gears but had it on the front middle chain ring. When next I ride on the ground, I will make sure I put it on the biggest ring. I can't get the front shifter to work because there isn't enough torque. My rear shifter does work but isn't enough to increase the resistance very much. It could work differently on your bike. PS. The directions are very poor and it was not clear how to lock down the wheel stand. My bike fell off the first time I used it. Upon further examination and analysis, I found the plastic rings that you slide toward the hub to lock the things that screw in. Now it works fine. The directions have almost no words and very blurry, smallish photos.
Question: How can i adjust resistance
Answer: Two ways. Tightening the wheel against the turbine and by gearing down.
Question: I am looking for one that comes with a front wheel riser..some are saying this model comes with one some are saying it doesnt What does the Co. say
Answer: I just received my bike trainer. It does come with a front wheel riser, but it is a hard plastic one and not very good. I ordered a rubbery one via another company for about $8 that works great and I am very happy with.

Magnetic Bike Bicycle Trainer Indoor Stationary Exercise Stand Steel Frame

Our indoor bike trainer is constructed of quality magnet, corrosion-resistant alloy roller, and powder coated high carbon steel stand, with the ability to support up to 264.6lb. It features a sturdy mounting system and comes with a quick-release skewer for the rear wheel hub and front-wheel support to stability and safety. This turbo trainer fits for 26'' to 28'' and 700C wheel sizes. Also, its foldable design makes it easy to store and carry.

Note: The noise is mainly related to the materials and tread of bike tires. At least half of the noise comes from the bike itself. Such factors that contribute to the noise are how well your bike has been tuned (alignment and lubrication of front and rear derailleurs, cassettes, chain, gears, hubs) as well as your bikes tires.The use of road bikes is highly suggested because the spinning sound will be louder and it possible to wear out the tires if mountain bike is used. We also recommend using the bike trainer on a carpet to reduce noise.

Note:

Although the mounting system can be compatible with most quick release skewers, we recommend replacing the original quick release skewer with ours to reduce risk of damage. Furthermore, our quick release skewer is also functional in the daily use of bike, so the replacement can also spare you from changing the quick release skewers too often.

  • 【Indoor Bike Trainers】: One of the problems with cycling, though, is that when the weather gets bad, conditions can keep you off the road or trail. Maybe it is raining or is too windy outside, or perhaps you need to avoid rush hour traffic or an unsafe dusk ride. This is when you just mount your bike on to a bike trainer and get the exercise that you want, but at home. There is no reason why you can not exercise with your bike when the outside weather is bad.
  • 【Strong Structure & High Load-bearing Capacity】: The unfolded bicycle training stand forms a pyramid structure, which greatly improves the stability of the entire frame. Its strong material and stable structure enable it to withstand a weight of 330 pounds. In addition, any bicycle with a wheel diameter of 26 ''to 28'' including 700c can be fitted to our stand.
  • 【6 Level Resistance Adjustable】: The trainer includes a drive-by-wire device so that you can change the resistance from your handle bars directly. You can adjust the magnetic resistor and switch the six resistance levels in seconds to meet your requirements about resistance and speed.
  • 【Smooth & Low Noise Operation】: There is almost no sound on the wheels on the riding platform. It is recommended to replace smooth tires during cycling training to reduce vibration, reduce indoor resonance or add carpet under the stage. In some cases it will be loud with MTB tires. If you owned a MTB with rough tires, careful to buy. Because MTB tires will be loud with all bike trainers, no matter how expensive it is.
  • 【Portable Folding Bike Exercise Stand】: In order to facilitate users to carry and store our bicycle training rack, we designed it into a folding style. It just takes a minute to set it up, clamp your rear axle with the quick clamp and adjust the contact between the wheel and the polished roller. No need to use other tools, you can directly complete the installation and disassembly process by putting up or unfolding the stand.

User questions & answers

Question: My bike has raised tread. Will this work and be quite in use of device
Answer: It will work on the trainer, but not sure about the quiet part.
Question: Will a rear axle that is 7.5 inches tip to tip fit this unit
Answer: The trainer comes with its own axle that you replace your bike's axle with. You can leave it in all the time, or just when using the trainer. I put my original axle back on my bike when not using the trainer.
Question: will a fat bike fit with 4.5 tires
Answer: I’m don’t think so as my tires are 2.5 with only about .5 clearance on each side.
Question: Does it come with from wheel rest
Answer: dear customer:We 100% promise there are front wheel riser block inside the package, and there are also quick release skewer and all the tools needed for setup. You can see them in the second picture

User questions & answers

Question: C an you stand and pedal
Answer: I disagree! I bought this bike because of these responses and it is near impossible to stand and pedal. My upper body is on top of the display when I stand. Maybe if the seat were up higher and therefore further away it would work. But I am too short to do thag
Question: Is this good for someone who is
Answer: I'm 6' 1" and this bike works as well for me as any bike in the gym...
Question: the bolts seem to small for the seat to attach. I can't get any of them to tighten all the way up
Answer: did you try and flip them? you might be putting them on backwards. At least that's what my husband did and we flipped them over and they tightened find. Best stationary bike I have ever had. Its quiet, comfortable and smooth.
Question: I live on the forth floor. Will this bike bother the people who live below me
Answer: One of the reasons I bought this bike was because it would be quiet with the magnetic movement rather than a fly wheel. I was pleasantly surprised when it came that not only is it silent when you peddle but the frame is solid and there are no creaks or squeaks. It also is quiet when you move it and open and close it. I use this mainly when my household is asleep and live in a 100 year old house with old wood floors. No one ever notices. I think that's about as good as it gets.

User questions & answers

Question: Can someone recommend a better seat or seat cushion to use with this bike? Thanks
Answer: As an avid bike rider I know there aren't many 'comfortable' bike seats. But you can get gel-filled seat covers or other cushioned covers at Amazon or most bike stores or sites. Try a wider seat as well.
Question: what heights does this accommodate? this should be included in the product details
Answer: I do not know how other people's friends being 5'0" and 5'1" say it's a comfortable bike. Did they replace the seat? If so, what cushion or saddle do they use? I would say absolute minimum height has to be 5'2" and even then you may feel a stretch as you pedal.
Question: With this bike, can you stand and pedal at the same time? or do you have to be sitting in order to pedal
Answer: I wouldn't advise standing and pedalling. Although the bike is built sturdy, it might not support your weight (considering that you are an adult) during the long use. There is a reason why it is built with a seat.
Question: What are the dimensions when folded up
Answer: Almost the same as when opened. It doesn't fold flatter, as pedals and handles and base still stick out, it just decreases the width of the center space by about 3 inches.

User questions & answers

Question: Is there a weight limit
Answer: Yes. All modes use the motion sensor auto-brake light feature. The auto-brake can be turned on and off globally for all modes: while the light is off, hold the button for five seconds (the light turns on after two seconds, but keep holding for five seconds). After five seconds, the light will either be steady on (auto brake feature is now on) or flashing (auto brake feature is now off). Release the button and the setting is now saved. Repeat the process to toggle the setting again.
Question: Will it fit my specialized rockhopper mtb bike
Answer: Micro usb on the back. You have to remove the light from the mount and the port is covered with a rubber water tight cover.
Question: Can you tell me how far the clamps go in
Answer: The mount stays on the bike. You twist the light to pop it off the mount and charge it. Both the seat mount and the band/bar mount work this way.
Question: Was this supposed to come with a front wheel riser part because ours didn’t come with one
Answer: Double-click to cycle between three modes: constant, flash, and smart. When in constant mode, single-click to set three brightness levels (low, mid, high). When in flash mode, single-click to set four flash patterns (breathe, comet, flash, interactive). When in smart mode, single click does nothing; the light adjusts itself based on the ambient light sensor. 10-80 lumens in daylight, 30-80 lumens at night, changing automatically based on ambient light conditions.

About the trainer noise

  • The magnetic bike trainer itself does not contain any part that would generate noise, which means there will be no humming sound if you simply roll the trainer by hand.
  • The humming/noise comes from the bike itself. Try placing the bike upside down and turning it for 20 km/h in a room, and you can hear the same humming/noise sound generated by vibration.
  • The use of slick tires is recommended. Or use the indoor bike trainer on a carpet to reduce the vibration sound.

User questions & answers

Question: How much tension is it at the highest setting? I am looking for gym level tension where the average person can barely peddle it at the max setting
Answer: This GPS uses a variant of USB. There are several types that exist. Micro USB, USB-C, USB A, etc... The usual jack almost always has been Micro USB. Things are moving forward to USB-C. Anyways, on to the question. It uses a former popular format called "MINI USB" They use this jack on all kinds of products. My old magellan GPS used this format. Well have a nice day!
Question: Does this bike need to be plugged in to an AC outlet for the monitor to work
Answer: I had it happen on mine. However, I think it is just a safety precaution as Apple did not exclusively vet the software. It has done that to me on other programs that were valid. Im guessing they just are protecting themselves in case someone did try to install nefarious software. I also got this on the my Macbook when I ran it. I did not have any issues.
Question: It says the resistance is done by magnet. Is that operated by a motor that pulls magnet closer or by hand adjustment
Answer: On the provided 8GB card, I'm only getting about 50 minutes, but it is broken up in segments you specify: 1 min, 3 min, or 5 min Also, the last video recorded when I turn my car off is saved, but then it won't play back when I transfer it to my computer.
Question: How do you assemble the tension control? I have it set at 1 and been trying to get the pieces to fit for over an hour? How does it work
Answer: Correct, the tab is to pull the disk off whatever surface it’s on.

User questions & answers

Question: What about the shipping, how long it takes to arrive once you buy it
Answer: It's not difficult at all. The bike is held in place by threaded bolts that screw in from either side at the bike's axle. The fitting where it attaches to the axle, (it fits snugly over the nut) is good and sturdy, and the other ends have large plastic grips. The threads are large enough as to not make it hard to turn but small enough to allow for a good, tight fit.
Question: Does it work with mountanbike 29 wheels
Answer: Yep. I'm using mountain bike type wheels/tires.
Question: does it include riser
Answer: i just looked at my bike set-up and i think it's going to be a little small. My bike is set up on it right now but I think you have about 8 inches of leeway, or 203 mm. There are a couple threads on the screws unaccounted for, but that's going to be a really tight fit. WHAT are you riding??? :)
Question: Will this work with 650 wheel set
Answer: There has a resistance, but is is not adjustable.
