The result of more than a decade of cycle development, the Keiser M3 is like no other indoor cycle you've ridden before. Keiser scrutinized and quality tested every single component of the M3, from the top of the comfortable handlebars to the bottom of the rock-solid base and everything in between. The centerpiece of the M3 is its eddy current resistance system, which offers infinitely adjustable resistance. This creates a vigorous, challenging workout along with a remarkably smooth, whisper-quiet ride. In addition, the cycle is built to last, as the resistance system doesn't wear and is virtually maintenance-free. And to keep you comfortable throughout your ride, the M3 includes a four-way adjustable seat (up, down, forward, and backward), dual-position comfort handlebars, and adjustable Shimano combo pedals.The M3 is also equipped with a sophisticated computer system that tracks your rpm, power output in watts, kilocalories, heart rate, pedaling time, resistance, and trip distance. Other features include a gravity-based water bottle holder, an anti-slip belt, and a smooth resistance shifter. Designed with the needs of fitness clubs in mind but portable enough for the home, the M3 carries a three-year warranty.

great & unique exercise bike! by .. Enzo Itgoes ()
I frequently ride a bike outdoors during the summer, but in the winter when the weather is not as good I often go to the gym to ride the exercise bike. None of the indoor bikes I had ridden ever had the smooth feel of riding outdoors - until I tried the Keiser M3 at a health club. I loved it so much, I bought one for myself for home use (the first time I've ever bought home exercise equipment as an adult), and while I've only owned it now for a short time, it is fantastic. Due to the unique design, utilizing magnetic resistance, the feel is very similar to riding outdoors. It is very quiet and very smooth. So I can spin at a fairly rapid rate and still get my heart rate up. And, though I don't do this much, you can also crank up the resistance and make it as hard to peddle as you would like (it has about 24 "gears" so you can continually increase the resistance to virtually whatever level you would like - what is really happening of course is you are simply increasing the magnetic resistance). This is a first rate bike for anyone who is serious about biking and wants something to use indoors that feels like biking outdoors. It is great exercise and does not feel like the typical gym or spinning bikes.
It was easy to assemble even for someone like me, who views changing light bulbs as a modest maintenance task. In total, it probably took about 30 minutes to set up and required little more than a Philips head screw driver, an Allen (sp?) wrench (which I have for my outdoor bike), and either a pedal wrench (again I have one) or an adjustable wrench that would fit the pedals.
Lastly, I would recommend ordering via Amazon or Keiser directly since some of the small third party sellers do not deliver on time. I would not buy from Indoorcyclingstore.com, who appear to be either terribly managed or are dishonest; we initially placed an order through them and six weeks later we still did not have the bike, but they still had our money.
Excellent Workout by .. Michael Demmons (Atlanta, GA United States)
I use this bike every single day at LA Fitness - sometimes I go to class twice a day. When I first started taking cycling classes, I thought these bikes didn't look like much. But after using them everyday for the past several months, I can tell you without hesitation that they are fantastic.
LA Fitness uses them in all their clubs in Atlanta (and probably around the country), so you know they can take a beating. Since I have been going to class, I've only seen a couple of the 34 bikes at my club experience any issues. According to the staff, they are pretty minor things that come from them being used several hundred times a month each. Put one in your house and use it daily yourself, and I doub;t you will ever have a problem.
Definitely would recommend this. A tough bike and a great workout!
And when I come up with $1350, I'm getting one for home.
Great Cardio Bike by .. R. Enlow ()
I purchased a M3 from Keiser not too long ago and it has literally changed my life. I actually enjoy working out now because of the smoothness of the ride and the ability to watch TV or listen to music uninterrupted by bike sounds (the M3 is silent during operation).
Highly Recommended!
Keiser M3 Bike by .. C. Hibbert ()
ear perform better:
Thank you for my new Keiser M3 bike.
1st off because Perform Better had the item in stock
I received my new bike within just a few days.
Which is a service, others could not provide.
2nd the bike went together easily even though I'm not mechanically incline. The assembly instructions really helped me out. Thirdly, this is the quietest bike I have ever
ridden. I ride in the early mornings with my family in near by bedrooms and no one has been disturbed by my workouts. My daughter commented that she didn't even know we had a new bike. Her first words, were "Mom this is a gorgeous bike" to which I agreed, this bike is beautiful, and I think the only thing better then its looks is its performance and feed back. The monitor gives me everything I need, time, distance, speed, heart rate, the resistance level is located in a good sport making adjustments easy, especially during those hard climbs. It's very easy to move from the lowest level of resistance
Quickly to the highest level (gears 1-24) with out a "fly away" feeling that you get from other indoor cycles. Smooth is another word that easily comes to mind,
This bike is smooth. Even though I feel like I'm cranking the speed, the bike stays smooth. That must be a very precision balanced flywheel. I'm sure it also helps to have the bike bolted to a very heavy base. But surprisingly once assembled the bike moves very easily with the aid of its transportation wheels.
All in all you have made a customer for life. Please pass on to Keiser my pleasure and satisfaction with their product. They have thought of every last detail, which lead to my satisfaction and motivation to stay fit.
Healthy regards,
One happy customer
Keiser M3 - Style, Qualtiy and Performance by .. M. Fedder (PA, United States)
I ordered this bike from Amazon (Brands Cycle and Fitness) on a Wednesday evening and had it in my basement on Friday afternoon. Shockingly good service in today's world. The bike was well-packed and arrived in perfect condition. Taking my time, assembly took about 25 minutes because I had all required tools on-hand. If you're a directions-follower, you'll need 15mm and 16mm box wrenches, a deep-socket 15mm or 16mm socket, a torque wrench, a 4" socket extension and 15mm and 16mm crowfoot wrenches (see MIT 10 Pc 3/8" Drive Crowfoot Wrench Set- Metric).
As indicated by other reviewers, the Keiser M3 is very quiet; so quiet that my squeaking mountain bike cleats started to annoy me. Shifting the bike involves moving a bar-mounted lever up and down for "gears" 1-24. Lift all the way up and you'll activate an "emergency brake" which stops the flywheel immediately. In reality, just lifting the shift lever to 15+ will stop the flywheel very quickly.
Adjusting the bike to your dimensions is simple and smooth. Unlike most spinners, the lock-down bolt doesn't have a spring-loaded pin that inserts into pre-drilled holes. Hence, you can set the seat and handlebar heights to an infinite number of settings over their entire range. Since my wife and I share the bike, I marked a small black line at my height settings and a blue line at hers. I'm 5'8" tall but have long legs and a short trunk so I was concerned about the nature of the M3's adjustability. Namely, moving the seat and handlebars up moves them away from each other. Look closely at the frame geometry and you'll see what I mean. The good news is that I was able to adjust the bike to a proper riding position for my build.
The workout computer has all the necessary data to measure workout performance (watts, kcal, distance, time, gear) but see #2 below.
Two items to improve the bike:
1) A clutch that permits free-wheeling. Apparently, Keiser did offer this in the past but it wasn't a strong seller so they dropped it from the M3. Here's one vote to bring it back as an option.
2) Add workout programs to the computer. For those of us using the M3 at home (i.e. not in a spinning class), it would be nice to have a few pre-programmed "rides" to call up. Better yet, let us create a program from a riding session and save it.
Bottom line, I love this bike and recommend it highly to those looking for a smooth, high-quality spinner. If you appreciate machinery, the M3 is a true work of industrial art.
