Sunny Health & FitnessStationary Exercise Bike Machine w/ Adjustable Cushion Seat & Multi-Grip Handlebar, Indoor Cycling Equipment for Home Cardio Training, Optional Magnetic or Friction Resistance

This bike is an amazing value for current prices under $300. Its quality is on par with bikes over twice that price. Ten years ago when I was shopping for an indoor cycle I tried bikes close to $1,000 that weren't this good.Quality is great, and while it is approaching commercial grade, it is still consumer grade. The frame is very stable, handlebars feel similar to commercial bikes, and the drive train is smooth with a great feel of momentum in the balanced flywheel. Magnetic resistance is smooth and maximum resistance is quite high, ensuring a full usable range of resistance for most people. The Q-factor (distance between pedals) is kind of high at 203mm, but similar to a Keiser.Despite all the positives, things like the bottom bracket (the crank with the pedals), and probably the belt, are clearly a consumer grade items and probably would be the component most likely to fail. I have no idea what long term durability is, but if a failure occurs on a spin bike, those are usually the most common components affected. The plastic pieces on the bike are lower grade material, but work fine and probably keep cost down. Overall, it is a very sturdy bike where it needs to be.I see complains about the saddle and pedals in some reviews. Just assume you won't like these and will have to replace them, whatever bike you buy. These components are user replaceable and what comes with the bikes is usually cheap junk. One size saddles do not fit all and many people dislike what comes with a bike no matter what style is used. Even my $1,500 Schwinn commercial indoor cycle came with a seat that cost $14 for an exact replacement, and pedals that started clicking after a month. If you don't like the saddle, go to your local store and get a comfortable replacement. It uses the same type of saddle that a normal bike uses. Don't bother with gel covers that cost almost as much, or putting up with it just because it came with the bike. Saddles and pedals are replaceable for a reason.With that said, I actually like the saddle on the Sunny. Good support for sit bones like a good bike saddle, though this one is clearly an inexpensive model. The pedals are still going strong after three months of daily use, something I didn't expect.Adjustability is average but fine. Spring pins are used to adjust the handlebar and seat towers, but only a one inch increments. However, this type of system won't slip during a ride which is important. The seat has micro-adjustments fore and aft, but the handlebars don't. It would be nice to have that, but for this price you can't have everything.The handlebars did start to wobble a bit, but I simply wedged a couple clothing price tags between the frame and tower and now it is fine. This is a common problem with many spin bikes where the plastic sleeves wearing out.At full list prices there are probably better options out there, but under $300 this is a definite winner.

First off I have to say that I will come back to update this after I’ve put some time in the saddle but so far I am very impressed.My wife and I went to a few different commercial grade equipment stores and this bike was priced with their cheapest offerings but performs with at least their mid tier commercial bikes. When we tested out a Peloton at the Peloton store we were not impressed for the money they charge. My wife couldn’t even comfortably each the handlebars on the Peloton and for $2000 plus that is unacceptable. In my opinion this bike is at least as good as the Peloton if not better, with the exception of the lack of display/monitor of course. We plan to use this with Apple TV and stream Peloton app on TV and use a Wahoo to get Cadence readout.The Good:-extremely heavy duty bike-very well packaged-easy to put together-very smooth and quiet ride with the magnetic resistance-adjustments are very robust and tighten down easily, no movement anywhere when you get it set where you want itThe bad:-handlebars do not go up very high so I would use caution if you are over 6’-seat only does down far enough for someone 5’1” or taller, my wife uses bike at lowest seat setting-wish it had even just a basic display of workout time and RPM or distance

Many years ago I used to race bicycles and I wanted to get an exercise bike that was a close approximation to a real bike. This fits the bill. Overall, this is an excellent exercise bike but I have two minor complaints. The first is the seat is narrow (for guys) and is quite firm. The ladies of the house didn't like it at all so I replaced it with a thickly padded seat I purchased from the local bike shop, a very easy swap out. The second complaint is even more minor. When you ride in the tuck position the handle bars are hard and uncomfortable on the forearms. My solution was to go to Lowe's and get some 1" pipe insulation and then tape it with Gorilla tape. Much better.Now for the good. The bike came well packaged and took about 10-15 minutes just to get everything out of the box. Installation is easy with the supplied tools and took about 45 minutes. One person can do the installation but putting the feet on is easier with two people. Just follow the easy to read instructions and most people shouldn't have a problem. Once finished, the bike feels really close to an actual road bike. It is smooth as silk and very quiet. The 33lb flywheel is more than adequate. It has a shifter for resistance on the down tube (red lever) that is easy to reach and has clicks with visual indications for increasing resistance. I weigh 205lbs and the resistance is more than enough for me to stand up to simulate hill climbing while still having about 6 clicks left. Even while hill climbing the bike is rock solid stable. I have been using the toe clips which work very well but I purchased a set of bike shoes to install the enclosed cleats to making it closer to the bikes I used to ride. Both the seat and handle bar posts have etched markings making it easy to switch between users. I will use a Sharpie once my adjustments are final to help with returning to my desired position (glare can make it a little difficult).Finally, the bike is Taiwanese made but is very good quality, something you would expect in an upscale gym. It doesn't have any eletronics which is what I was looking for. I wanted to put my money towards a quality bike and not take a chance on junky electronics that may or may not work. Now that I fixed the two minor flaws I would give this bike 5 stars. I am very happy with my purchase.
