Which Indoor Spin Bike Should I Buy? The Keiser M3 or the Keiser M3i
With indoor home fitness equipment interest being at an all time high, we have been fortunate enough to be able to provide our customers with the best indoor spin bikes in the world, Keiser. With that being said, there are two Keiser Spin bikes on the market and one of the main questions that we receive daily from customers is, “What is the difference between the Keiser M3 and the Keiser M3i?”
Our job at Recovery for Athletes is to provide our customers with answers based off of hands on experience with all of our products. We are a team of professional athletes and we only want to give correct and accurate answers to our customers.
From a features standpoint there are two key differences between the two models.
First, the handlebars. The Keiser M3i features advanced butterfly style handlebars which are more ergonomically correct and allow for a greater range in hand positions.
The M3i also features not only the vertical handlebar adjustment but it also has the fore/aft independent handlebar adjustment that allows a greater user height range from 4’10 - 7’ tall.
On the Keiser M3, the handlebars are a standard open face and can only be adjusted vertically.
The second, and probably greatest feature of the M3i is the ‘i” aspect of it which stands for intelligence.
Both the M3 and M3i have the same console that tracks RPM, Watts, Heart Rate, Miles, Gears, and Time. However, the M3i features a brand new M-Connect computer that gives you the ability to transmit to multiple Bluetooth devices at once, connecting to your favorite fitness apps with ease.
The M3i also comes standard with the media tray to allow users to place their tablet or smartphone on it and stream their favorite training videos or entertainment.
