The NuStep RB8
with Integrated Sensor Technology
The NuStep RB8 series offers two premium recumbent bike models tailored for Canadian rehabilitation, physiotherapy, cardiac rehab, senior care, and wellness clinics: the RB8 Pro and RB8 Max.
The low step-through height and adjustable seat are ideal for users with limited mobility or who use a wheelchair/walker for support.
A low starting force and 15 levels of resistance are designed for early lower-limb strengthening, yet varied enough to accommodate more athletic users. Beautiful, full-colour dual touchscreens keep users engaged throughout the workout.
The Integrated Sensor Technology makes the RB8 series ideal for patients focused on lower-body rehabilitation. Integrated Sensor Technology captures power discrepancies between legs in real time, allowing clinicians to tailor future treatment and demonstrate improvement using real data sets.

FAQ – NuStep RB8 Pro & Max
The key distinction is user capacity and seat width. RB8 Pro supports up to 500 lb with an 18″ seat, while RB8 Max supports 600 lb with a 22″ seat.
Bariatric patients benefit from the Max higher weight capacity and the wider seat can be more comfortable for these patients.
With a 360 degree swivel seat and low step through, the RB8 is designed to safely give patients an opportunity to move out of their wheel chair while increasing their lower limb strength. Simple patient transfer with the swivel seat and low step-through ensures patients are positioned properly. The foot straps keep the patient's feet secured during use.
Both models have roughly a 70″ × 28–32″ footprint, letting them fit in most clinic spaces.
Each bike has 15 resistance levels, smooth low-start force, reverse-coast motion, and coordinated arm-leg movement.
