What type of resistance system does it have? Magnetic?

I believe it uses manual screw resistance. It feels just like the branded "Spinning" bikes I used in spinning classes at the gym.

The new magnet-free sensor works quite well in my experience. While I used to occasionally get erratic readings with the old magnet-based sensor, that hasn't happened with the new one that I've seen. So I'd say it's just as accurate as the magnet-based sensor if not more so.

I ordered this unit, it was a piece of junk, sorry that you got one also. Perhaps donate it to Goodwill.I hate to say this but I found a very good timer at ACURITE.COM, it has magnetic base and works well.

They are a nickel alloy, slightly magnetic. Nickel and nickel-base alloys have very good resistance to atmospheric corrosion.

It has a small flywheel with magnetic resistance. There is a bungee cord incorporated to retract the cord on the return stroke. The resistance is pretty smooth on all but the highest level. The resistance level is sufficient, it's cardio not a weight machine.

Unfortunately I do not know a lot about the different treadmills, I googled magnetic key for whatever name and model my treadmill was and it brought me to the Amazon site... I wish I could be more helpful !

I wish I could help you. Can you tell me why I've never been able to set any resistance? I don't think the resistance function works and this may be related to problems with the screen.

The resistance is controlled electronically from the control panel. Whether this control uses a physical or magnetic resistance, I can't say. Contact the manufacturer.I believe all the bearings are sealed, because I didn't have to apply any grease during installation (another elliptical I installed a year ago need grease).

Your question does not make any sense, there is no such thing as resistance # of mag poles, just resistance of the windings, and you can calculate if you have the basic variables such as voltage, ohms , amps or wattage, any of the 2 will calculate to give you the info you are looking for. I suggest looking at ohms law , and having a dmm meter handy to take measurements.

Mine has the magnetic field & I've yet too use it... sorry I'm not much help.

It's just that. Powerful magnets create the resistance. Several programs increase/decrease the resistance to your needs. It's a good machine. Best I've owned.

Do not buy this if you want a trainer. It offers almost zero resistance. It works as a bicycle stand only, for example if you want to adjust your shifter or balance your tires. It's worthless for anything else. It has magnets from a refrigerator. Not even close to being powerful ebnough to generate the eddy currents you need for a magnetic brake. Piece of junk. Maybe if they give it to you, free of charge with free shipping, but only if you need a stand. Enough said?

no in mi case, I use the break system for more resistence. the six levels of this RAD ist not given resistance

It doesn't actually say what the resistance is, but it can be set for no resistance on up.

It has a knob that you turn for resistance right gives it more resistance and left gives it less

It's not magnetic. I don't have an induction oven so I can't speak to that. Other than the copper venear wearing off on the outside of the pans, I still love them

There is mechanical resistance too. A switch with various levels is mounted to the handle bar and controls resistance via cable with the unit.
