The SportsArt C574R is the Elite Line recumbent cycle — a significant step up from the Essentials C565R. Forty resistance levels, fingertip controls on the handlebars, independent seat and backrest adjustment, contact heart rate sensors, and a 450 lb capacity deliver the most refined recumbent cycling experience in the SportsArt lineup.

Forty resistance levels — more than double the C565R's 15 — provide the precision to program structured interval sessions, graduated rehabilitation protocols, and progressive overload training with fine-grained control. The finer increments mean users can adjust intensity exactly rather than jumping between levels that feel too easy or too hard.
Resistance adjustments are available directly from the handlebars via fingertip controls — so users never need to reach for the console or break their pedaling rhythm to change intensity. This is a meaningful upgrade over console-only adjustment, particularly during interval training where rapid resistance changes are essential.
Both the seat and backrest adjust independently with horizontal positioning — a significant upgrade over the C565R's seat-only adjustment. Users can dial in perfect leg extension while independently setting the backrest angle for lumbar support and torso comfort, creating a truly personalized fit for users of every body type and preference.
The step-through frame allows users to walk directly into the seat from the side without swinging a leg over a frame — making the C574R accessible for seniors, rehabilitation patients, and users with limited hip mobility. Paired with the low-impact recumbent seating position, it's the most inclusive cycling option in the SportsArt Elite lineup.
Contact heart rate sensors built into the handlebars deliver on-demand pulse readings without any accessories or chest straps — keeping users informed about their cardiovascular intensity throughout every session. Real-time heart rate data feeds directly into heart rate-targeted workout programs for zone-based training.
Part of SportsArt's ECO-NATURAL™ Elite Line, the C574R combines sleek, modern design with self-powered engineering and a 450 lb user capacity. At 213 lb it is substantially heavier than the C565R, reflecting the additional frame rigidity, componentry, and build quality that the Elite designation demands.
