Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike review: Excellent bike for the price, By J.D. (Washington D.C.)
I recently purchased the Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling bike. I've used it a few times and I'm very happy that I went with this bike. I can't talk about other comparably priced bikes on the market ($250-$500 range), but I don't think you can go wrong with this particular bike if you're not looking to spend over a $1000 on a decent spinning bike.
I'm not a hardcore spinner, but I've gone to enough classes at different gyms to know that this bike performs just as well as the $1000+ ones I've used at commercial gyms. It has the same feel as those bikes, and that's something I wasn't sure I'd get in a bike that cost far less.
Here are some bullet points on the bike:
-Quick delivery
-box was a little torn in the corners when I received it. I recommend opening it up and checking on it's condition. I actually sent back the first one I received because I felt bent metal when I reached in the torn hole. However, I decided to open up the second one and discovered that the bent metal was a "protective piece" to prevent damage to the front of the bike. Just be careful when you open it just in case there is a problem and you have to tape the box up and send back!
-I'm 5'11" and 190 pounds and I had no problem adjusting the seat and handle bars to get to a comfortable and proper riding position.
-the wheel spins smoothly and the resistance is consistent and ample. The breaking lever works great as well.
I bought a magnetic resistance bike a few years ago and it's currently dismantled and collecting dust. If you're undecided between the two, take it from me, go with the "spin class" type bike! You don't need a calorie or distance counter...if you don't feel like you're working or not sweating, you'll know it. If you need a heart rate monitor, go with one of the watch ones...they're more accurate than holding onto a cardio machine's handlebars to get a reading.
Overall, 5 out of 5 for this bike. I'm sure more expensive ones have more options or gadgets that may be useful for the hardcore spinners, but if you're like me and into spinning but don't need the extras and the added cost to get them, then go with this bike."
