There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The bike itself is well built in that it feels solid all around. None of the pieces rattle or wobble and the whole thing feels like it can really take a beating which is good because I'm overweight and the last thing I need is to break my exercise equipment with my fatness.
The parts that accommodate adjustment--such as the seat height, the seat forward/backward position, the seat rotation, and the handlebar height--are easy to adjust and stay in place once they're set. My girlfriend and I both use the bike and it's a cinch to adjust the bike to accommodate her 5 foot frame up to my 6 foot frame, it really only takes a couple of quick adjustments.
The seat itself is the worst part about the bike and even then it may just be that I haven't found my sweet spot yet. Out of the box the seat felt like it was sloped back too much, almost like the seat was trying to force me off the back of the bike. Angling the seat in the opposite direction helped a lot but it still feels a bit uncomfortable. The forward tip of the seat curves upward, creating a concave shape with the back of the seat and the front tip of the seat being the highest points. This puts a lot of pressure on specific points of my crotch. After about 10 or 15 minutes on the bike I can tell that the circulation to the area (I'm trying not to be too graphic here) is being cut off so I'll either have to stand on the pedals and continue biking until the numbness subsides or I have to step off the bike until feeling comes back to the area. I was an avid city biker for about 7 years and I'm very particular about my seat, if I could put a Brookes saddle on this thing it would be totally perfect.
I would highly recommend this bike to anyone regardless of space concerns. It looks great, feels great, works really well, and the best part is that the pedals come with reflectors on them so you won't get hit by any cars while stationary biking in your apartment--which is a huge concern for me.
About assembly: The bike was well packed in the box. The box arrived with some splits in the side, so I was concerned that some parts might be missing, but everything was well packed and taped into place inside the box so it couldn't slide out through any of the splits. Assembly took about 30 minutes and was very easy with the included instructions and tools (and I am not a handy person).
Good for shorties: I am only 5 feet tall and have a 27" inseam. This bike fits me perfectly. I have the seat in the second lowest position, so the seat could even go down one notch.
About the bike: I used to take spin classes a lot, so I am familiar with studio quality spin bikes and this one stacks up. There is some minimal chain noise when riding, but it is still pretty quiet. It is solid when used in positions 2 (running) and 3 (climbing/standing). I've read some complaints about the seat, but it is fine for a spin-type workout where you are standing for much of the workout. In my opinion, any bike seat hurts if you've got your butt on it for too long, so stand up some of the time!
I'm glad I bought this bike. It is a great value and I know I will continue to use it for cardio cross-training long after my MCL is healed.
1)The seat seems to sit at an angle so sitting upright is an effort. That may be normal for spin bikes, I'm not sure. The seat is really not comfortable (I'm not sure there is a comfortable seat on a bike) I ride with cycling shorts (with the padded bottom) and I still have to adjust my position frequently to avoid a lot of discomfort. The angling of the seat makes it a bit difficult to sit upright (not holding the handlebars at all), but my pregnant belly gets in the way of leaning all the way forward for long periods.
2)The pedals are sharp! I'm sure this is common, but you really have to wear shoes if you're going to work out on this thing! My kids love to play on it too and there have been some minor scrapes due to the sharp pedals.
3)There is a slight knocking on the left side unless I am seated a certain way.
4) The water bottle fits really, really tightly. Its kind of a pain to get in and out during a workout. But it makes it so my kids can't steal it from me while I work out. :)
As I said, the workout I get when I ride it is awesome! Definitely worth the investment and so much easier than getting to the gym!
Top reviews from other countries
The box weighs about 85lbs, so enlist a friend to help you get it downstairs (or wherever).
It was very simple to put together. Took me about 15mins.
No additional tools were needed (everything required is in the box: one Allen key, and one multi-wrench/philips screwdriver).
First Impression
Very sturdy welded frame, and all materials are good quality/feel. It looks pretty nice too.
I was concerned about the seat hardness because of other reviews, but it turned out fine in the end.
Setup
The seat/handle bar adjustment knobs work well. You turn them enough to release the tension, and pull out against a spring to disengage the pin from the holes in the frame. The instructions don't come with much guidance for how to set the adjustments for your body, but a quick Googling found some comprehensive diagrams of a rider on a bike. That was extremely helpful.
It would be nice if the handlebars could slide forward/back, but it's not a big issue. Fancier bikes have that, but I didn't want to spend fancy amounts of money. The seat feels hard to sit on at first try.
First Ride
The bike is nice to use. After a few minutes of riding the seat no longer feels hard. It's actually quite comfortable.The tension adjustment is easy to get at while riding. It's a smooth ride, although some vibration/noise is more noticeable at higher tensions (chain sounds, I suppose). I can see how a larger flywheel might help mitigate this.
The tension is capable of going much higher than I could manage, so I certainly don't think this bike is limited to beginners despite the price.
The 30lb flywheel is plenty smooth for my needs. If money were no concern I'd get a 40lb model, but in my mind it's not worth the extra cost.
The weight of the flywheel does NOT mean it offers more resistance, in case that's your concern.
I'm a runner, and was afraid the smaller flywheel would be too easy for me...not to worry.
The bike has been kicking my butt so far (no really, it's a brutal workout!) :)
There's another Sunny Fitness model that has a digital console on it for an extra $20 or so (maybe not on Amazon, but I saw at Walmart.ca).
I watched a few YouTube instructional videos while riding, but ultimately I'll probably just listen to music and follow a routine based on time.
The timer would have been helpful for that.
The bike arrives mostly assembled inside the box and the rest of the assembly is very easy. The flywheel ran true and didn't vibrate out of the box which was great. With a little over a months use I haven't noticed any noises or loose parts. The plastic guard over the drivetrain was cracked on the inside near the flywheel, but not enough that it effects anything.
I liked:
- It's fairly quiet.
- Cranks will take any 9/16 pedals. (put on your own SPDs, flats, whatever...)
- There is plenty of room to swap pedals after the bike is assembled. (some other exercise bikes once assembled prevent the pedals from being removed due to no wrench/allen key access)
- Fairly stable once leveled.
- Loads of resistance from a flywheel & felt pad.
- Looks like the plastic drivetrain guard will come off fairly easy to clean/inspect/repair the drive train.
I didn't like:
- Limited adjustability with a hole & pin system for seat height, seat fore/aft, handlebar height. (In the seat & handlebar shafts, I drilled an extra hole between each of the factory holes which has given a great deal more adjustability)
- No fore/aft handlebar adjustment.
- Weird saddle and frustrating to adjust saddle nose up/down, fore/aft on the seat rails. (a standard seatpost saddle mount would be excellent)
- It's a fixie. (no freewheeling, the pedals are fixed to the flywheel. ie: you can't "coast")
- At high resistance levels the pedaling sensation is weird, it's sort of jerky and rough and doesn't feel like an out of the saddle sprint or a grueling climb.
- Hard to get reliable speed/distance data because it's hard/impossible to attach a sensor to the flywheel hub, and even then it's still a flywheel with a resistance pad.
I got this because I didn't like the idea of putting a carbon frame FS bike with a high end drivetrain on a bike trainer to grind out mileage during the off season.
Due to the limitations in the adjustability I cannot get my self perfectly setup on this bike and It is frustrating to want to change something by a few mm and not having the option.
I'm not interested in Zwift, but you could likely use Zwift with this bike with your HR/Cadence sensors and rigging up a speed sensor somehow to the flywheel - you won't get accurate speed or power but it would probably be enough to get you moving in the app.
***** Sunny Health & Fitness ***** You could instantly make this model significantly better without changing any of the existing components or incurring any extra manufacturing cost, by having more adjustment holes in the seat and handlebar shafts. For example, there is an adjustment hole every 2cm on my bike, it looks like it would be possible to have an adjustment hole every 0.5cm for example.
This will eventually wind up on kijiji and I'll get a cheap hardtail MTB & a fluid trainer for my indoor training, but paying CDN$275 for this on sale I feel like I got what I paid for. Any "complaints" I had are really addressed by a higher end and higher price model. This is a solid barebones spin bike that will let you grind out some training mileage when you can't ride outside.
