There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First, be warned. The box is heavy. I mean, really heavy. The shipping weight is listed at 112 pounds and the box is large. Believe it or not, this is a very good thing. The bike is solid, mostly metal with an absolute minimum of plastic. If the box was light, I'd personally worry. Additionally, the bike is mostly assembled when it arrives. Hence the large and heavy box.
A number of customers expressed difficulty in assembling the bike. I did not find this to be the case at all. The design has slightly changed since the official photo was taken (the bike is essentially identical except for the handlebars - more on that in a moment) and I wonder if the company improved the assembly process as well. It took me approximately ten minutes to assemble the bike, all of the necessary tools were included, and the assembly was incredibly intuitive and required minimal reference to the instructions. There are not a lot of parts that need to be assembled - it's just after reading some of the reviews I was especially careful, thorough, and spent a chunk of that time studying the instructions and looking for the difficult part.
The bike is solid. (According to the description, the front flywheel weighs approximately 40 pounds on its own and that seemed about right to me.) To assemble the bike, you attach the pedals (they screw on), put the seat and handlebar stems into the frame, and attach the handlebars and seat to the appropriate stem. The adjustment knobs over the entire bike had been screwed in slightly too far at the factory so that the shaft of the bolt blocked the entry of the stems. Simply unscrewing each slightly solved the problem. The cross pieces of the base come with small metal blocks in place and they need to be removed and the actual wide cross pieces (the front piece has the small red wheels attached in the photo) need to be bolted into their positions. That's it. Assembly is complete.
All of the parts (tools, nuts, and bolts) come shrink wrapped to a stiff piece of cardboard. Each part is clearly labeled on the board. Instead of looking for "Hexagon Flat Round Head Screw-Black M10X25mm" you simply find part "(66)". This is an exact example from the assembly process. (The "Flat Washer-Black" is part "(67)" and the numbers are clearly referenced in the instructions.)There's no searching for parts. You simply remove them from the board as needed.
The only issue that I had was that the tension control knob for the flywheel was stuck. The knob literally wouldn't turn. Cranking on it really hard popped it free and it works fine. I'm not sure what happened - once it was unstuck, all was good. It works fine and just like new. It wasn't a defect, it was just initially stuck and now works fine.
The handlebars are different than shown in the photo. Instead of two small bars that come out at 90 degree angles toward the inside of the handlebars, those bars are now connected with a large comfortable arc. In my opinion, this is a significant improvement over the original design and gives you a much wider range of options for hand placement.
I spent several years attending the 5 AM spin class at my local gym. Being the first to use the classroom space, we early birds took the bikes from where they were parked along the wall and moved them to their positions. Having spent a lot of time with those bikes, I'm confident in stating that there is very little difference between this bike and the professional models used at the gym. I would rate it low-end professional, very high end amateur, and an absolute steal at the price.
The ride is essentially indistinguishable from high-end gym spin bikes. Having ridden those bikes roughly 1,000 times, I can pick up on subtle (and I can't stress the word "subtle" enough) differences, but they do not detract from the ride in the slightest. For instance, the knob to adjust the tension has a little more play in it (a half turn adjusts the tension a little, then a tenth of a turn adjusts it a lot) but it's still very easy to get it set exactly where you want it, you just have to become familiar with it. The bike remains incredibly solid in both seated and standing riding positions and exceeds all of my expectations for a home spin bike.
To address a couple of reviews that I saw while considering my purchase.
The angle of the seat was mentioned by more than one person. I'm not sure what their issue was - it adjusts just like any other bike seat, including the angle. In other words, by loosening a bolt, manually adjusting the tilt, and tightening the same bolt once more, you can have the seat at any angle you wish. It's literally a non-issue.
A couple of people mentioned the noise. It's not silent, but I'm not sure what folks were expecting. It doesn't make an unusual amount of noise and its mostly noticeable simply because there is no other unexpected sound in the room. I watch shows while riding and don't have any trouble becoming immersed in the program. My wife and I can actually have a conversation at a normal volume while one of us is riding. The noise is much lower than I anticipated given the reviews that I read and very acceptable for this piece of equipment, perhaps even on the low end of the noise range.
At least one review mentioned an odd smell while riding. I did not experience that at all.
Spin bikes don't typically come with odometers. With cardio, the duration of your ride is much more important than how far you ride. I realize that this may bother some people, but an odometer, in my experience, would have been out of place on this piece of equipment. A couple of reviews downgraded the bike because of the lack of an odometer, but I ride for a set period of time, not for distance. As one of my friends jokingly put it, "Why do you need an odometer on a stationary bike? Do you want to know how far you rode? You didn't! It doesn't move!"
This one gets five stars from me. Simply put, this is an extremely good deal for the price. An absolute bargain. There are little things here and there that could be upgraded, but only at substantial cost. After reading a large number of the other reviews, I can honestly say that the Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. I highly recommend it.
We received it on June 27 put it together, as promised in about 30 minutes. This did not include the time we took to make two customizations to the bike. We changed out the pedals and the saddle.
The pedal that came with the bike is fine if you do not want cleats. We actually reused the basket that came with the original petals because we deemed it to be of high quality. We wanted Cleats so we purchased (from Amazon) the Shimano PD-M324 Clipless/Clip Pedals. These are the SPD style dual surface pedals, one side accepts cleats, and the other side uses the basket. One issue with reusing the basket, it does block the screw used to adjust the cleat binding lock, this was not a problem for us, but you may wish to consider finding a basket intended to be paired with the PD-M324 pedals.
The saddle, which can be purchased from Amazon, that we chose, is the Bell Recline 800 Seat. We have now 3 hours of combined Spin on the bike with this seat and find it to be very comfortable. One additional note about the seat, If you have never installed one, the seat is separate from the saddle clamp, the one that comes with the Sunny is of inferior quality, when I removed it from the existing seat, the threads and bolts showed signs of rust. I am not terribly mechanical and so I took Sunny Seat Post, new saddle and existing saddle clamp to my local bike shop, they used some of the clamp and replaced some of the parts. I came home with an attached seat, made the final adjustments and re-installed it on the Sunny
To solve the problem of no water bottle holder we hung a water bottle holder very similar to the “Cool Stuff Neoprene Carrier - 32oz” by Nalgene. We attached it with a single zip tie to the center of the handlebar.
As for the lack of computer technology: we are using the cycle in conjunction with Studio Sweat ONDEMAND spin classes, they use the spinner cycles which also does not include a monitor and (so far) we find the lack of the monitor for cadence, heart rate and wattage manageable. There are solutions that we have researched but not tried. You may wish to consider the Polar watch FT3 or FT7 for heart rate only. If you want cadence and heart rate AND you have a smart phone, you may consider a solution from WAHOO. If you don’t have a smart phone you may also consider bontrager node 1.1 along with the cadence sensor from Wahoo and a heart rate sensor that is compatible. Bottom line adding technology to this bike is possible, but complicated.
We are extremely happy with our choice and have given it a 5 star rating. My wife is 66 inches tall and I am 69 inches tall. The cycle adjusts perfectly for each of us. The chain system is quiet and we cannot hear it over the streamed class. We are extremely happy with the pedal stroke, it feels natural and we prefer it to the feel of the Keiser M3. We hope this helps you in making a decision, home exercise equipment is extremely personal, and you must consider everything, for us this specific Sunny was our best choice and we plan on purchasing a second one.
UPDATE November 15 2015: Just wanted you to know we have used this bike for a while now and it has continued to work as it should. The only wear&tear so far is that the white arrow on the resistance knob has been completely erased from constant cleaning. (we behave as if we were at a gym and use hygene wipes on it after each use). The bike has definitely held up and in fact we bought a second one, this time from AMAZON. it is much newer but it arrived in perfect condition. OH the second time I was actually successful in changing out the saddle clamp on the replacement seat.
Top reviews from other countries
From the moment I touched it, my expectations have been exceeded. The box is a combination of heavy (115 lbs.) and large rectangular box which made it difficult for a single person to carry. I recommend that you be prepared to have two healthy people available to carry this to it's expected resting place from where it is delivered. I work out and believe I am fairly strong but this package humbled me.
I set it up in two spurts of approximately 15-20 minutes each. Total time is probably around 30 minutes. Each and every part on this bike, including the "travel" blocks which can be thrown away, are extremely heavy and well built. Solid steel (I assume) and painted if not stainless steel. If this were a real bike you would not make it very far. But once I got it set up and hopped on, it took a few minutes to make the appropriate adjustments to get the seat and handle bars to where they felt comfortable. I was a bit disappointed that you have to take the adjustment knobs completely out in order to make the adjustments but each and every knob and adjustment piece are very heavy and sturdy. Even the seat and handlebars seem extremely well built and of high quality. The fly wheel is heavy and looks pretty flashy. There is not a single item on the bike that seems like a corner was cut. Even the instructions use full sized pages, are clear and were easy to follow. The only item that I wasn't quite sure about were the pedal nuts that came attached to the pedals and not on the base of the bike like the picture seemed to suggest. This bike seems NOTHING like any other Chinese manufactured item I have ever purchased and I seem to buy quite a few things from overseas. Mostly electronics though and in that space what could be metal is typically plastic. Not the case with this bike. What could be plastic seems to be metal.
I test rode the bike for ~5 minutes or so with the tension as high as possible where I could still get to a good speed and I was able to get heated up to the point where I was about to start sweating. There were a few small noises that prevented the bike from being near silent but everything seemed to be installed correctly (both what I assembled and what came pre-assembled).
In addition to the next Winter season, I plan to use this bike most days while I'm on conference calls via Teams, Zoom, WebEx, etc.. At some point, I plan to follow a few hacks from another review to add a tachometer/odometer and a few other bells and whistles.
I HIGHLY recommend this bike if you've been thinking about getting a well built but basic stationary bike and you're able to get it at a good price. At least a price that is good for you.

This one was far and away the better one. And the build quality of it was way more attractive than one I paid £280.00 for, in fact I feel this bike is worth about £400 if I was to compare it to what I got for my money on the previous two bikes. (Only one very very minor gripe, more on that at the end 😄)
What I loved about this bike was the ride position was fantastic and really well thought out from an ergonomic standpoint, which just makes the ride so much more comfortable.
It looks like a much more expensive bike due to the good build quality, and no cheap looking bits or anything. There’s no computer but then that’s not a bad thing because they often look like cheap tat with no useful metrics unless it’s a really high end one. So I really didn’t mind that,
It’s chain drive, which actually generates a super cool tactile feel. I personally love the little vibrations under my feet that gives the sensation of riding a bike. I find belt drive to be too perfectly smooth and it’s a horrible fake feel and nothing exciting about it. But having said that some people love belts and pay more for them, but I find chain much more appealing. It will make a very slight rattling noise but that is very quiet and it’s not noisy. I ride with music so I don’t even hear it, but with no music you might find it a little annoying.
And lastly a good reasonably heavy flywheel - very good feel, I found, @ 18kg, (one bike I tried and returned was slightly more than needed at 20kg and the other one which was 8kg seemed pathetically too little) but this one @ 40lbs gives a good workout and generates lots of momentum. It’s also got quite a small footprint so it’s not too difficult to move around.
The minor gripe, (the thing that wasn’t absolutely fantastic about the build quality, and I think this maybe why it’s so cheap) is that the handlebar tube on mine was a little too tight, I actually greased mine up with a little olive oil to ease the sliding of it as it was tight.
But this is the really strange thing, because everything else about the build quality is what I would expect from a bike priced at maybe even £400.
Fortunately they had the foresight to fit this thing with an emergency brake, incase you’re working out in the living room and then all of a sudden your lunatic dog randomly tries to jump out in front of you, whilst cycling a bit too fast.
Yo mido 1.81 y peso 91kg, y en todo momento me siento seguro al pedalear.
Pros:
Muy cuena calidad, resistente, y firme.
El precio, lo consegui en una superoferta, $6,999.00, eso sí, espere como 6 meses.
Contras:
El asiento es duro, supuestamente es bueno que sea asi, pero no se me hace comodo.
Los pedales tienen una parte para colocar el pie. A mi se me hace incomoda y no la uso. Soy talla 30 en México.
Otras observaciones:
El producto es pesado, y un poco complicado de subir a un tercer nivel.
El armado es relativamente sencillo, tuvo complicaciones pero nada que no se pueda solucionar. Tarde 40 min.
No conozco otros productos, pero me hubiese gustado que el sistema de la banda, fuese como una bicleta, que cuando no pedaleas, la bici sigue moviendose y los pedales no se mueven.
Recomiendo mucho el producto.
Ahora bien con respecto a esta versión les comento mi percepción; es un equipo realmente construido con materiales de calidad mismos que encontrarías en equipos con el doble o triple del costo. No es un equipo lujoso, ni "detallitos coquetos"; pero si cumple perfectamente su función y lo hace bastante bien.
Creo que una de sus ventajas es precisamente esa sencillez, porque te permitirá ajustarlo a tús necesidades, añadiendo lo que requieras, cómo sensores, ciclo computador, accesorios, etc., es muy versátil.
El valor costo-beneficio es realmente excelente; a mi me costo menos de $ 8,600 (pesos mexicanos), la vi disponible y al darle comprar me hizo un ajuste en el precio y en eso me salió; creo que tuve suerte. La compré el pasado 7 de Julio y llegó el 10 de Julio, sólo 3 días.
PROS:
* Robusta y buenos materiales de construcción
* Mantenimiento sencillo y rápido
* Configurable a tús necesidades
* Excelente relación costo-beneficio
CONTRAS:
* Asiento un tanto incómodo (nada grave, creo que es la falta de construmbre)
* Quizás para algunos muy muy muy sensibles al ruido prefieran la versión de banda (para mí no es nada molesto, creo que hago más ruido con mi respiración en los springs 😅)
Si estás pensando en comprar una bicicleta estática, seas o no profesional (yo no lo soy) esta es una excelente opción.
Anexo un par de fotos de como llega y de cómo quedó, más adelante les comparto cuando tenga instalados los sensores Garmin que pedí para complementar mi equipo.
Espero les sirva mi comentario. Saludos.
