Sunny Health & Fitness Smart Cycling Exercise Bike, Free SunnyFit App Connection, Designed for Intensive Cardio Workout at Home, Adjustable Seat & Handlebar for Comfort Riding

After comparing reviews and prices on a number of home fitness bikes, I narrowed my choice down to the Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike. Before I purchase an item on Amazon, I tend to read the 5 star reviews and then begin at the bottom with the 1 star reviews and work my way back up. This approach tends to give me a view of what people liked about the bike and, starting with the least satisfied customers, allows me to get a feel for the complaints and compare them to a variety of reviews. 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.

Update Post: We originally purchased one of these bikes in June of 2015. We were a bit concerned about the low price because our intention was to use it in our fitness facility. This bike is rock solid. We now have 9 of them and will be purchasing 2 more this month. The bikes are used in spin classes daily. We have everyone from small, uber-fit petite women to hulking 6'2" 255lb men. These bikes get hours and hours of use each week. I recommended this bike to an associate who is opening a fitness facility. When he was purchasing some high-end equipment from a well-known gym equipment provider, he asked them about the bike (showed them the Amazon link I sent to him) and they were dumbfounded. They said that the bike had quite impressive features, especially for a bike that inexpensive and appeared to be a very, very good bargain. They actually had the bike on their computer when he went in the next day because they researched it more and said they were quite impressed by it. That, and the fact that their lowest priced bike was a bit below $900 reassured us that we made a great choice! We have even used these bikes in the parking lot for some special events. The only problems we had with the bike were with the screw on the tension knob on one. The bolt became a bit stripped and we had to order another one. The other issue with another one was with the brakes squeaking after about 8 months. This can happen if you don't "oil" the flywheel periodically because the brakes get dried out. A bit of treadmill oil on the flywheel fixed this immediately. We service the bikes bi-weekly, and that involves tightening the bolts on the seats (just to make sure they stay put) and just doing a check on all the bolts and moveable parts. But again, keep in mind that these bikes get literally hundreds of hours a month, so that minuscule amount of service is -wonderful-! If you're looking for a cost-effective, very dependable bike, you should definitely consider purchasing one of these. Absolutely worth it! Pros Low cost Very easy assembly Sturdy, solid construction Minimal maintenance needed Very easy to move (we move these puppies a lot - even outside) Shipping was quick (and cheap - Yay Prime!) Cons The brakes may squeak a bit after a while. This is resolved by oiling the flywheel periodically. (You should do this with any spin bike and make sure the tension is released after riding to ensure they don't dry a bit and squeak.

I was orginally going to buy a Spinning bike for $600 (the one advertised on tv) because I have been an avid spin class participate for about 2 years. My boyfriend suggested that I find a better quality bike for a cheaper price because he knew there were some out there better than the Spinning home bike that I was planning to get. So, after days of research, reading what felt like hundreds of reviews (because I'm anal and thorough like that) I decided that this was the cheapest bike I could find with the level of quality that I was looking for. The only consistent complaint that I saw with this bike was that people said that there was a loud whinning sound coming from the brake pads but that it could be fixed with Dupont lubricant, so I just ordered that when I ordered the bike (it was only $5). Also, people stated that there was no water bottle holder, so I ordered this: Bushwhacker Shasta Red - Insulated Water Bottle Holder w/ 22 oz. Bottle - Two Point Bike Frame & Handlebar Attachment w/ Belt Loop ..and it works just fine for me, I strapped it on the handlebars where the little circular part is because it sets it front and center and I never rest my hands there anyways. The bike never really made the loud whizzing noise for me, but it made a noise that sounded like someone saying, "shhhhh" however, it wasn't that big of a deal, but i sprayed the lubricant on it and that solved that issue/ The bike is very sturdy and I love the gym quality feel of it, I feel like I never need to rush to a spin class at the gym again! I ordered a few spin dvds and the experiene is awesome! Don't have to worry about anyone watching my jiggling bum! Lastly, at times when I stand on the bike and pedal I can hear the chain tap the interior of the bike, it is somewhat annoying but it doesn't happen consistently with each revolution of the pedals... All in all, I get great compliments from people, everyone in my family loves it, I get great workouts on it. Oh yeah and the seat is uncomfortable so u may want to get a replacement, I haven't tho because I'm used to bike seats being uncomfortable but my boyfriend plans to get one. For this price, I'd say buy, buy, buy!

I live in Colorado, where even in the dead of summer my bike riding is subject to the whims of the weather (very annoying tendency to be sunny and beautiful all day while I'm working, then thunderstorms start developing the minute I clock out). I've tried bike rollers and trainers, and recently attended my first spin class at the gym. I hated it, at least I hated how out of shape I was and how I barely made it through. I did like the feel of the bike though, so I came here. As there are already hundreds of reviews saying similar things, I'll stick to the important stuff: * Yes, extremely, extremely heavy. I apologized to my UPS man four times as he struggled up the stairs to my third floor condo. He gasped only, "Please don't return it." * Heavy is good. Rock solid construction, all metal except chain guard. * Assembled in fifteen minutes. Hardest part was lifting front end to attach base. I guess all the complaints about the pedal installation were heard, because each one has its own tag explaining explicitly and in alarming bold letters how to attach them properly. * My biggest concern, the noise: quieter than my rollers and my trainer. Didn't even need the heavy appliance anti-vibration pads I used with those other devices. Because I couldn't find a single video demonstrating the noise before buying, I uploaded my own. The flywheel has a small rattle that disappears with higher resistance, I'm going to try tightening some hardware (but can't hear it with headphones on). Also the left pedal clicks, a problem another reviewer said went away after a few days on its own. But you can hear, the actual bike operation is as close to silent as you could hope, other than the chain. Can't even hear it through the thin floor of our loft. Unbelievably happy about this, as worrying about my neighbors saps a lot of enjoyment from my indoor workouts. * Workout intensity: No complaints here either. Can work up a sweat even on low settings, and I doubt anyone could outgrow the highest resistance. And getting out of the saddle and "running" feels great, no instability at all, just like the gym bikes. The upper crossbar of the handlebars is perfectly situated for this position too, very comfortable. * Ah yes, the saddle. Yes, it's uncomfortable, but not any more than a regular bike saddle (in fact, might be more comfortable than my regular bike). I love this because the worst thing about changing seasons is my butt getting soft and lazy all winter, and then the agony of getting back on the bike in summer. I anticipate this will make that problem a thing of the past. * Easy to move. Just tilt forward onto the wheels and it can be rolled anywhere, practically with only one hand. Clever engineering. * No bottle holder. I'm considering trying a stroller organizer Diono Buggy Buddy Stroller Organizer, Black so I can keep my phone/mp3 player nearby too, otherwise there are lots of bottle cages that clamp onto handlebars. * Another minus is the position of the emergency brake. There is no mounting this bike without the brake becoming uncomfortably intimate with you. I thought I'd be able to remove it but got nervous halfway through, since it's attached to the resistance knob. I don't give 5-star reviews often, but I am just blown away at how much of a value this is. I don't understand why anyone would pay twice as much, can't imagine you would get much more for the money. And for the peace of mind that a sudden storm system can no longer ruin my biking plans? Worth every penny. (I've only had it for a week though. Will certainly update if anything changes) UPDATE: Still love the bike. The pedal click has vanished. The wheel rattle is still there, but still inaudible above headphones and not enough to disturb anyone else. Ready for next winter!

I have been wanting a spin bike for a long time for my home. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on one and had been checking out local Craigslist's ads before searching on Amazon. The price seemed too good to be true, but I read ALL the reviews and figured it was worth a try (Amazon price still cheaper than a used one on Craigslist). The bike arrived within a few days (which was surprising as I ordered it the week of Xmas), plus I got free shipping! The box is obviously heavy. It was left on my porch by the delivery guy and my boyfriend put it in the living room for me (that was the extent of his part!). I got to putting the bike together (by myself) and was done in about 30 minutes (37 year old female). I initially installed the pedals that came with the bike, but the next day ordered pedals that would fit my spin shoes (if you are new to spinning do yourself a favor and purchase spin shoes - makes a HUGE difference). There is nothing wrong with the pedals that came with the bike, but I really wanted to wear my spin shoes while exercising at home (just like at the class). Other reviews said the seat was hard and uncomfortable, and I would have to agree with them. I did buy the gel seat to go on over it. I did a darn good job putting the bike together by myself, and the boyfriend did help tighten the handle bars as I didn't do a good job. I have had the bike now for a few weeks and use it around x4 times per week. I LOVE it. The quality is impressive and it does exactly what I want it to. Around the 3rd week I did crank the resistance up and there was a slight smell, but it quickly went away. If you are looking for a great spin bike for a reasonable price then look no further. I am really happy I purchased this bike. On a side note, I wasn't sure which pedals to purchase and emailed the company itself. They responded the next day (within 12 hours) to let me know that any pedal would fit. Great customer service. These are the pedals I bought to replace the ones that came with the bike. I did do a little adjusting with these for them to fit my spin shoes (takes a few minutes). These pedals also come with the spd clip for your shoes if you don't already have them. XLC Alloy MTB / Trekking Pedal, Black This is the gel seat cover I purchased to go over the rock hard seat that comes with the bike. No spin bike seat should be comfortable, I guess this is because they want you to work out harder and not spend the entire time on your butt. In any case I am happy with this cover. It does what it is supposed to do. Planet Bike A.R.P Anatomic Relief Bicycle Seat Cover (MTB) All in all I highly recommend this bike. I seriously had been thinking about buying one for a few years now. I am happy that I did. PS. The only con I had with this is that it does not come with a cup holder. Bummer!

When I received this bike I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to put together, and how solid it seemed to be. It was a great price for a piece of home exercise equipment. I was convinced that I would use it more, but I am sure that it a common misconception.I still feel mostly positive about the product but... The real problem is "I wrecked on a stationary bike, Yikes! Now I am scared to get back on it. On my last ride I adjusted the handle bars to a higher setting in order to feel more comfortable. I found that I created tension in my shoulders by lifting them as I rode and I hoped that the higher setting for the handle bars would eliminate that. So I raised them, secured them in the last notch of the pin, and screwed in the adjustment knob. The handle bars themselves were a little wobbly in the sit down portion of my work out but I attributed that to the fact that there was only about three inches of pole left under the last slot that I used to secure the handle bars. I adjusted the resistance to accommodate the standing portion of my ride and rode fine for a few minutes....until the handle bars came loose and fell forward and landed on the floor. I followed and flew face first into the floor...hitting hard! On the way down the then empty metal rod that the handle bars slide into bruised and scraped my inner thigh as I fell. The bruise is still visible months later.I spent weeks explaining the black eye and knot on my head to people who before that would have thought that it was impossible to wreck on a stationary bike. I am so very glad that I did not break my neck!!!!I was pretty sure that I did everything right to ensure the correct and safe adjustment of the cycle..so be careful. Especially if you lift your handle bars to the last notch in height.Maybe some day I will have the nerve to get back on the bike, but I will always hesitate when I stand to ride and that is a shame!

I love this bike! It's perfect for me. I was slightly concerned before buying it as there were some that had issues with this, but I have not had any problems. Yes, the seat is hard, but it's supposed to be. Most bikes sold use a generic seat and those that have a problem with it usually replace it anyway. There's no way to find a one size fits all kind of seat on a bike as everyone has different tastes. The seat feels no different than my bike seat on the mobile bike I use to bike to the beach. This bike is so comfortable for me to use as I stay on it longer than I stay on my mobile bike. I can adjust the resistance so it's more muscle building rather than the lower resistance for those looking to lose weight. You can adjust the resistance to your own liking. The one issue I had was not the bike seat, but the petals where it has straps you stick your feet in with your shoes on. I realized that's never gonna work for me as my foot doesn't fit in it, so I just flipped the pedals around so the strap is in the other direction and it works perfectly. This bike is very heavy in the box. The base for this is definitely strong and solid. Doesn't move around as you bike. I feel bad for whoever is having to deliver these things, but I'm sure they're used to it and have hand trucks. I wasn't home when it was delivered so it was by my mailboxes. My unit is down the walkway in the back and up the stairs. The box recommends you have two people move this thing. I didn't have that luxury, but still managed to do it somehow solo. I'm considered super fit and athletic, yet even I couldn't lift this thing. Luckily there were straps around the box, so I used those as handles and rolled it like a wheel barrow down the walk way to my unit slowly, then up the stairs carefully. That was the hardest part of all this. It did zero damage as the bike unit is tightly packed and nothing was shuffling around. It all looked great and in tact once I opened the box upstairs. I read the instructions carefully before I started. You open the box on one end then roll it right side up and pull the box up leaving the bike firmly planted on the floor. It took 30 minutes to carefully pull all the parts out and place them around the area I was going to put this together. It then took another 30 minutes to put the bike together. After that, I was off and biking with no problem. The front has wheels, which makes it pretty light for me to move from room to room if and when I need to. This bike is $500 on the Sunny Health website, but I was lucky enough to find it on Amazon for $200, which is a steal for a stationary bike that also helps build muscle. The other bikes below that price were more basic and strictly for those trying to lose weight, which I'm not. I'm 5'7" and 150 lbs. Keep all of the tools and instructions somewhere handy in case you ever have to re-tighten anything on the bike. Things move and become loose like any other exercise equipment. As far as noise, nothing too major except a gliding sound of the wheels moving, just like my own mobile bike though. I noticed that the stronger the resistance I use for strength building, then the noisier the bike gets, but once again nothing too major. It does vibrate as you're biking, but when you're exercising you are going to making some kind of noise. That's just the way it is. All in all I'm happy with this bike and have had no major issues. If I ever do, then I'll come back and revise this, so you're aware.

I have been spinning twice a week for the past 8 years, All this spinning was on club purchased equipment considered by staff as state of the art. Over the years, I watched as this equipment was used and abused by individuals and ultimately required replacement. This spring I decided that I might like the freedom of spinning in my home at my convienence. I recearched the available equipment and found a wide range of prices for spinning bikes. I also went to fitness specialty stores to examine some of the spinning bikes first hand. What I found was that price is not always a good indicator of quality when it comes to spinning bikes. I also found that some of the on-line reviews for spinning bikes focus on items which I would not consider to be significant or which could be tolerated or easily remedied. After much searching, I settled on purchasing this Sunny bike. Here is why: It has a 40 pound fly wheel, it is fully adjustable, the total shipping weight indicated that it was as massive as club model spinning bikes, available reviews were generally positive. I have been very satisfied with this spinning bike. Here is why: 1) I received it within two days of purchase using standard shipping; 2) It was very simple to assemble; 3) It is easy to adjust; 4) It is a substantial unit, which I consider comparable to club quality bikes. It is not without problems. Here is what I have experienced: 1) It has no water bottle holder; this was easily remedied by purchasing a water bottle holder from Amazon, drilling two holes on the side of the front fork, tapping the holes to accept screws and installing the holder. This took all of 15 minutes for a cost of less than ten dollars; 2) The fly-wheel squeels under high tension. This is easily remedied by spraying the tension pads with silicon or teflon/silicon lubricant. I routinely apply the silcon spray the first of each month. This does not stop the squeeling, but it does reduce it to a point that I consider tolerable. 3) The pedals are not of the highest quality and have come loose while ridding. To avoid this, I check to make sure that the pedals are securely screwed into the crank before I start my spinning session. For the price, this spinning bike is an excellent value. I use it for about an hour spin session three times each week.

Reckon i got a quality Bargain here, after being rather lost in the entire exercise bike world, having been 30 years or more since i last bought a cheap (Around£30) Wieder bike, which packed in, in only 2/3 months due to my exertion. Dissapointed i wrote to them complaining that i assumed they were quality brand. The gave me a new replacement, which i sold new, as i knew it would go the same way, & this is when i realized companies make things to a price. Also these days we have chain/belt bikes, spin bike etc, all i was looking for was something that would last & wouldn't cave in with strenuous use. I fixed my mind on Heavy wheel, which at 40 pounds this one has, i then pondered the belt versions as they cost way more, yet as i suspected & another reviewer stated, who himself had 2 previous bikes, that belts SLIP/slacken in time, prompting him to go for chain which i did also, & like him i had little care for rather pointless digital devices. I have had racing road bikes all through the years, although not using them much in recent years, wityh that in mind it's little matter what Distance you may pat yourself on the back with, for me it's about the EFFORT you are putting in for the duration, which you want to be Minimal. From much earlier years i learned that Really Working a stationary bike, you get a real quick warm up, where in just over 10/12 minutes you Would be sweating, which is what i am aiming for, as when the blood is flying around the body you are more flexible and less prone to injury & the ability to reach this state with hard exercise used to be (with stretching 5 minutes after 15 ex) about 20 minutes, but the bodies ability to reach this state in that time greatly diminishes as years roll on, which is why i have opted to get a bike, to assist in my warm ups for martial arts & weight training. I will still do my normal warm ups , but first i shall spend time on the bike. So for this you simply move the resistance knob till it's hard to pedal, but are still able to effort it to a decent pace & that's it. Now my 1st duration i have had to go 18 minutes to get to where i'm about sweating mode, it will take maybe a week or 2 to get into proper mode of pedalling at pace with a difficult mode/tension, & i then hope to be able to attain warm up/sweating mode in less time. I should mention as i was reading about modern bikes & what to look for & the reason for folk paying WAY more for "Belt" bikes, being they are silent. There is virtualy NO noise from this, all i had read whould make you think a chain bike was making a racket:) It's nothing of the sort folks, & i'd be so dissapointed if i'd opted for a far more expensive Belt bike & in some months it weakened/slipped etc, as i'd regard that as waste of purchase. There is NO Way this bike is packing in, as it is built like a tank, about 100 pounds weight, even has simple to adjust stabalizers which made it simple for me to have it sitting perfectly level in my Not so perfectly flat floor in my outdoor hut where i have the bike, & for the giveaway price of £140, i regard this as a Fantastic bargain As i ponder the life span of this the only thing that could diminish through time would be the brake pads which determine the difficulty of your session, & having just done a quick search it seems they don't cost much and there are youtube videos showing how to fit, so i guess that won't be a problem should it arise somewhere down the line. Very pleased with this purchase, easy ass embly/adjustment, however take your time with pedals attachment, as that can be tricky.

The Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B123033 spin bike worked great on my first ride, smooth and quiet. But the seat started shifting, and I discovered a bolt underneath was missing or broken. I contacted Sunny right away and was initially told I’d need to pay $50 USD for shipping, even though the issue was present from the start. After some back-and-forth, they sent the replacement part at no charge, which I appreciated. The bike is solid and rides well, but the support process was frustrating at first. I’m glad it was resolved fairly in the end. Canadian buyers should be aware that warranty and shipping policies may differ, but persistence helped in my case. Thank you Sunny Health ❤️ Happy Spinning everyone 🚴

im athletic person and i got this bike because of curfew and im not able to do exercises,so my opinion is this bike is really good,seat is uncomfortable same like other spinning bike in any prices.you just need to get gel pad seat which is 3-7$ people complaining about noise,its not noisy that much, im very happy with my bike, stay safe and healthy

Llegó muy rápido, al siguiente día de que la compré; aunque la caja estaba algo rota estaba bien empacada y llegó todo muy bien, está muy bonita, se nota la calidad y lo bien hechas todas sus partes, cuenta con herramientas para armarla y fue relativamente fácil. Me preocupaba el tamaño ya que mido 1.80 pero está perfecta, incluso para personas más altas que yo seguramente les servirá ya que tiene varios ajustes de altura en el manubrio y el asiento. Es mi primer día con ella y espero que dure muchos años...actualizaré mi reseña después de un tiempo de usarla.
