It is really hard to do a review on a high-grade machine such as this fantastic recumbent bike - Kettler Golf R. It all boils down to try to find something that don't work well, by listening to the potential plastic squeak. But there is nothing of that here. You will get only the well known Kettler's German quality!

Kettler Golf R Recumbent Bike Review

It's pointless to discuss about the frame solidity of the machine which costs about $1,500. We'll just mention that it is made of high carbon steel and backed by a lifetime warranty. The Golf R is equipped with the 22lbs. flywheel designed to provide smooth performance. The other features we'll list below. It's up to you which one of all recumbent bikes in the $1000+ category you'll choose. We recommend you to consider some of the Diamondback Recumbent Bikes, as well as some of the Life Fitness models.

Although the Giro R featurs look pretty good (see below), we believe that for an approximately same price you can get a better machine within the Sole or Life Fitness series (see above): The Golf R features include:
- 15 resistance levels for beginners to pros.
- Blue-backlit LCD dual-window display provides high resolution, easy to read, digital and graphical data profiles with console that can tilt for the optimal viewing angle.
- Intuitive computer with multiple programs.
- Exclusive Kettler wired infrared pulse sensor measures heart rate electronically included.

The Kettler's warranty is not so great as Sole's, for instance. Anyway, the Golf R is covered, as follow:

Frame:
Lifetime
Parts:
3 Years
