Positioning yourself on a sprinter bike is similar to the positioning on a road bike: bent over. This allows you to make more speed while cycling. With a sprinter bike you train the whole body, but with the emphasis on the lower body. You train your abdominal muscles, your biceps and triceps and you also strengthen your spine due to the forward bended position. With a sprinter bike you burn a lot of calories during a solid training session, so it is also perfectly suitable for losing weight.
