1) Mesh Seat Back with Lumbar Support
The Livestrong 6.0 upgrades to a mesh seat back with lumbar support. If you tend to have back issues and want to do longer workouts, this can be a great help to make your workout more comfortable. Plus the mesh back is breathable and will help keep you cool.
2) Livestrong Interactive Technology with Free USB
The 6.0 bike comes with a Free USB device and Livestrong Interactive technology. You plug the USB drive into your bike console before you workout. You can then plug it into your computer and go to the Livestrong website. From there you can track your workout stats and history over time to see how far you've come, set new goals, etc.
Plus you can also download new workouts designed by Lance Armstrong's strength and conditioning coach to your bike.
3) Step-Through Design
The 6.0 recumbent comes with easy 'step-through' design, which means you don't have to hop over a barrier in the middle of the bike when you get on. This is great, especially for those of us who aren't as co-ordinated as we'd like to think.

You have plenty of room to grow in your fitness level with 20 levels of resistance on this bike. The resistance levels are easily changed with the touch of a button on the console.
5) iPod Dock with Speakers

6) Hand Grip Heart Rate Monitor
Stay in your target heart rate zone with the hand grip heart rate monitor on the side of your seat.
7) 11 Built-In Workout Programs
You get 1 different built-in workouts with the 5.0 recumbent. These workouts automatically adjust the resistance for you as you work.
Weaknesses:
The console is easy to read but still a bit simple on this bike.
