Low-Impact Rehab. Maximum Support. Measurable Results.
The Spirit 8.5R Recumbent Rehab Bike is designed for safe, effective lower-body rehabilitation with a focus on comfort, accessibility, and precision.
With 100 levels of bidirectional resistance, direct wheelchair access, and advanced symmetry tracking, the 8.5R provides a controlled, supportive environment for patients at every stage of recovery.
This is not just a recumbent bike.
This is a clinical rehabilitation system built to improve outcomes.
Why the 8.5R Stands Out
• 100 levels of forward and reverse resistance
• Fully removable seat for direct wheelchair access
• Adjustable crank arms for customized range of motion
• Swiveling seat with fore, aft, and recline adjustments
• Advanced symmetry and power distribution tracking
• 10.1 inch touchscreen with cloud-based analytics
• 440 pound user capacity
• Designed for therapy, rehab, and medical environments
Built for clinicians. Designed for patient success.
Designed for Real Rehabilitation
Direct Wheelchair Accessibility
The 8.5R removes barriers to entry with a fully removable seat.
• True roll-in wheelchair access
• No patient transfer required
• Increased safety and independence
• Faster session setup
This inclusive design allows more patients to participate with confidence.
Low-Impact, High-Effect Training
The recumbent position supports proper posture while reducing joint stress.
• Ideal for hip and knee rehabilitation
• Promotes circulation and recovery
• Reduces strain on the lower back
• Supports longer, more comfortable sessions
Perfect for early-stage rehab, cardiac therapy, and long-duration training.
Fully Adjustable for Every Patient
The 8.5R adapts to individual needs and limitations.
• 12 position adjustable crank arms
• Adjustable seat depth and recline angle
• Swivel seat for easy entry and exit
• Oversized pedals with secure fastening
From limited mobility to full conditioning, it meets patients where they are.
Bidirectional Resistance for Complete Muscle Engagement
Forward and reverse pedaling enhances rehabilitation effectiveness.
• Strengthens opposing muscle groups
• Improves coordination and joint stability
• Supports neurological retraining
• Encourages balanced movement patterns
With 100 resistance levels, every session can be precisely controlled.
Advanced Clinical Feedback & Programs
Symmetry Tracking
Monitor and correct imbalances during pedaling.
• Measures left and right leg power output
