Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Rear-Wheel Exercise Bike for Indoor Cycling

I don't know why some users left a few bad reviews for this item is unbelievably good for the price range! I am happy I came across Sunny sb-1709 before committing to the Schwinn IC4-8. Everything is comparable and lays on the same grass, but having the heart rate monitor pads on my Sunny is priceless And the aggressive downside handle oh may guud top top top

After I stopped going outside due to COVID, I've originally purchased a spin bike that has a hard sponge form brake pad. Which was making annoying squeaky noise, so I returned and bought one with a leather padded brake pad. Then the padded leather just fell off after a month or so, and again I had to return it. I sort of realized that those break pads wont really last a long time no matter what material is used, so I purchased this one. The magnetic is really strong. At a maximum setting, I can actually stand on the bike and the resistance is really hard, which is great. One thing is that, I've gained quite a lot of weight since COVID, and the seat is sort of making a squeaky noise a bit if my body moves a lot on the bike. It is solid enough so I don't feel unsafe but It is not like professional level bikes you would see at the gym. The thing is, I actually look for one of those pro-level bike and they were over 3k USD. So, I am quite happy with this purchase. Good value for the pice I'd say.

Great quality bike, stable and silent.

After using it 5 times only, the seat was damaged.

Yes, I mulled over several spin bikes, so I'm aware of how important these reviews can be in the decision process. Looked for new and on Craigslist, refurbished, etc. Almost got either the Peloton, Echelon, Bowflex C6 a refurbished Keiser and the Schwinn ic4. But, during my constant obsessed reviewing process, and having taken several spin classes, I narrowed my desires to 5 things: Sturdiness. Noise level. Price. Price. Speed of delivery. Sturdiness was based on the weight the machine could hold. I'm 5'10, 200lbs, but I know I can be gentle and then gorilla-is so the bike had to be strong. Noise Level. Although I have it on my patio, and where I live is a bit noise isolated already, I dont like to hear any fitness machine Im working on. Price. I wanted to feel like what I was paying for was a bargain and comparable to many higher end bikes. Price. I didn't want to spend money on something I'd also use in a gym and Amazon had a special monthly payment thingy that made it a cool way to pay for the bike. Speed of delivery: Although when I initially ordered it, it was supposed to get to me in five days which changed to two weeks due to Covid-19 issues, it was still faster than any other of those bikes outside of the refurbished ones off Craigslist. And I was really impatient. Had Bowflex or Schwinn said I can have it in less than a week, I'd prob went with one of them. Conclusion: This bike is really cool. It's only been a month so keep that in mind when reading this. But it is sturdy, really really quiet, and you can sway left to right without worry. I not sure if I'd get this if I were taller than 6'2" with long legs because I think it may be a leg issue problem. Not sure. The bike was really easy and simple to assemble (less than 45 mins) and it took longer taking it out of the packaging than assembling. I place my iPad on the bars (bars have a nice, soft yet sturdy feel) as you can see and the case has a strap that holds it around the bar. I tried a clamp/ipad holder but didnt like placement. Prob easier to just watch tv or something. There is good resistance although changing levels is ehhh especially when in climbing mode because it takes a bit dexterity to lean down and increase or decrease tension. The pedals are cool (only used cages so far) and will prob get shoes with clips soon. The ones I have need SPD to fit and I dont like em anyway so Im not gonna use em. The monitor is ok. I use the it for cadence and compared my Heart rate to my Apple Watch. The magnetic resistance is smooth and I dig it. The bike could use a brake though but since the pedals are so fluid, stopping is simple. The bike is actually nicer and more professional looking in person. I know its hard to tell buying online, and if you haven't rode the one youre reviewing, its hard to know. I had never heard of Sunny until I start looking for a bike and I was biased towards Schwinn, Spinning, and all the other name brands. I still am, but after purchasing this, I'm glad I was open to it. I started using the Peloton app, but now use other spin cycle youtube videos. Since I am a trainer, I kinda can create my own workout, and some of the coaches on those workout apps talk way too much (for my taste) but I'm sure many will find that helpful and motivational. All in all, I say do it and if you are gonna get a bike for use 2-4 times per week, invest in one that can accommodate at least 50lbs above your weight, is quiet, and you'll get your money's worth (2x/week x $20 spin class)=$1920yr. Imagine that.

The magnetic resistance on this unit is great, the assembly was very straightforward and the bike is pretty sturdy. There are 3 people in my family using this bike ranging from 5' 7" to 6' 0" and we all can easily adjust to a good riding position that is comfortable. Having rode a few "spin" style bikes this one may be slightly noisier than some models that would cost a good thousand more, but honestly it is a really quiet machine. This one feels just fine and will definitely challenge most people. Also the SPD and the cage are really cool to have combined on the pedal and very functional.

easy to put together, its vary smooth easy gear change light flywheel I will update this and do a full review in the future

Muy buen producto, y mejor compra

I love this stationary bike. I would absolutely recommend that this is the one that you purchase. Even if you're looking for an entry-level price-tag, spend a bit more and get this bike. You won't be sorry. Let me tell you why. 1) It rides incredibly smoothly, silently and is very comfortable. It accommodates tall, big people. I am 5'9" tall and weigh 200 lbs. My daughter is 5" 11" tall with ridiculously long arms and legs and weighs 120 lbs. My husband is 6'3" tall and weighs about 220, with enormous size 13 feet. All of us fit this bike properly. There are lots of ways to adjust it to your comfort level and for what you will be doing. I love to do The Trip by Les Mills. This has a lot of standing and I want my handlebars to be in a very specific position. Absolutely no problem. My daughter likes to work on her singing as she rides the bike by singing along to videos. Her adjustment needs to be different from mine. No problem. My husband just likes to get on the bike while watching TV and get some exercise. Absolutely no problem. This bike adjusts just as well as, if not better, than the bike I used at the gym, which I really liked. I'm sure that, even if you are short, the adjustment will be no problem. 2) THIS IS THE RESISTANCE MECHANISM YOU WANT!!! Why on earth would anyone use one of those stupid turning knobs for the resistance, when you can just use this perfect lever??? I honestly just don't get it. The bikes that they had at the gym that I used to go to had levers and I wanted a lever as well. However, I initially cheaped out and got a horrible bike that had the knob that you turn. It was awful. All the turning and twisting when you want to go from a light resistance to a heavy resistance. Ridiculous. On this bike you just push down the lever to the resistance level that you want. It's instant. It's smooth and it gives you great incremented resistance. When you do The Trip, they want you to go from heavy climbs, right into fast downhills. I would miss part of the workout while spending all that time, energy and attention twisting the stupid knob. Forget that! I just push the lever up or down. It's fantastic! 3) This bike is STURDY (and easy to assemble). This bike weighs right around 100 lbs. About 25 pounds more than the crappy bike I first purchased. This thing feels good and sturdy. Hubby and I aren't light-weights, but the bike feels perfectly capable of handling whatever we dish out to it. Also, it was very easy to assemble. You're given all of the tools you need and the instructions are pretty clear. Also, it's not all that complicated. I could have figured it out without any instructions at all. I wasn't rushing when I put it together, just taking my time, and I put it together, by myself, in about 45 minutes. Most of that time was spent unboxing the thing, which is REALLY well packed. The health monitor on this bike is functional, if rudimentary. I might look into a better monitor. Or maybe not. I really am just interested in the calories burned and the results that it has given me have seemed to be accurate. Someone mentioned that they didn't like where the water bottle bracket sits between the handlebars. I found it to be very convenient, and, again, sturdy. I'm watching the TV which is mounted on the wall in front of the bike, so I don't need an iPad mount or anything of that sort. I did not use the seat that came with the bike, as we had purchased a much better seat for the other crappy bike, to replace it's horribly painful seat (I purchased the TONBUX oversized seat, which is great). I will say, though, that the seat provided with the bike looked very good and comfortable, and probably would have worked without being painful. I just have an extra seat when needed. I have only had this bike for 3 days, so I can not attest to how well it holds up over time. The other crappy bike broke within 45 days (the stupid turning knob froze up), ONE DAY BEFORE I COULD NO LONGER RETURN IT. This one feels very well made, however, and I will update this review after we've had it for a while. I did purchase the extended warranty, however, just because the warranty isn't that great and boxing this thing up would be a nightmare to box up and return. Overall, I would challenge you to find a better bike for any price. This is the one you want to buy. BTW, the crappy bike that I purchased first and returned was the "pooboo Magnetic Exercise Bikes Stationary Bike Belt Drive Indoor Cycling Bike Fitness Bike for Home Cardio Workout Bike Training with LCD Monitor". DON'T BUY THAT ONE.
