PreCor originally began manufacturing their cardiovascular fitness equipment in Helsinki, Finland, and has since developed an international network of local dealers and distributors to supply and service their cardiovascular fitness equipment.

Working to create a "superior fitness experience" is the mission statement and number one goal of PreCor. The innovative and high quality design used in the manufacturing of their exercise bikes is a prime example of the commitment Precor operates under as a manufacturer of high quality fitness equipment.

PreCor exercise bikes, similar to their elliptical and treadmill machines, are well designed, include the latest technological advances, and are constructed using high-end materials. The end result is a top-tier exercise bike that is designed for moderate to heavy use. The evidence of PreCor's level of quality and confidence in their manufacturing process can be witnessed through their above average warranty.

PreCor exercise bikes are considered top-tier exercise bikes that are intended to compete with the upper end manufacturers of fitness equipment. All PreCor exercise bikes offer their customers a reasonable level of user options and features. Included as standard features are accessory holders, transport wheels, metric or standard English units, various languages, heart rate monitoring, and multiple resistance levels and workout programs.
