 The RealRyder® ABF8 vision began 15 years ago when competitive cyclist and RealRyder International® Co-founder Colin Irving sought to improve the performance of the stationary bike by simulating the feel of the real bike experience. Colin shared his dream and teamed with industry expert Sean Harrington, whose fitness contributions include the Heart Mate Stationary Bike, Wind Racer, and pioneering of Nautilus as a successful fitness club chain operation. When Rich Hanson, whose sales-marketing expertise drove the expansion of Nautilus as a product line, and also launched the legendary Stairmaster, joined as a partner in June of 2007, the project went into high gear. The already impressive RealRyder® team has recently seen one more notable upgrade, with the recent addition of Douglas Brooks, a world renowned fitness author, lecturer, trainer and T.V. personality, as well as one of the highest regarded personal trainers in the country.
With 80 plus years of combined industry experience, the RealRyder® International team engineered a superior performance studio bike to meet the needs of the elite-cyclist for training and performance, inspire the indoor cyclist, and literally recast the indoor cycling workout from what was essentially a cardio building exercise, to an overall fitness program.
Originally the indoor bike was designed to simulate riding a real bike and it is understandable that in those early stages what was created was essentially a pedaling machine. However, somewhere along the line manufacturers of indoor bikes became stagnant and settled on only making slight improvements to these pedaling machines (stationary bikes). The designer of the RealRyder, Colin Irving, an avid and competitive cyclist realized this obvious flaw and set out to make the first dramatic improvement to the indoor bike. The result is the RealRyder® ABF8 what we like to call the first unstationary-stationary bike.
No longer will a person's workout be limited to lower body and cardio; no longer will someone's involvement be determined by their ability to imagine that they are moving. The RealRyder® ABF8 Stationary Bike mimics the real biking experience far better than any other indoor bike on the market ever has, because it leans and turns like an outdoor bike.
Furthermore, this movement has many benefits outside of just feel, namely its inherent ability to target muscle groups previously ignored by other indoor bikes. These improvements alone would represent the most dramatic step forward since the first indoor cycle hit the market. Yet we did not stop there, we also sought to improve upon the subtle changes that our competitors have been making for the last thirty years. RealRyder uses high end parts and materials to create an even more durable product, superb adjustability, and a sleek design.
The RealRyder ABF8 Stationary Bike is the revolutionary product that the indoor cycling market has been waiting for.
