text: I bought this about a year ago so I could avoid the gym and I still love it! This bike is the same brand but a cheaper option than the model in the spin classes my gym offered and I am so thankful I decided to go with this version. My husband assembled the bike and said it was super easy to put together. The options to customize the seat and handlebars makes for a perfect fit for riding and the tablet holder is a great feature to sign into any virtual spin class from the platform of your choice. I also like that you can either clip into the pedals or wear regular shoes, so anyone can jump on and get in a good workout regardless of the type of shoe. Oh, and the levels of resistance go from 0-100, so you have the ability to fine tune your levels throughout your workout.
  The only thing I don’t like is the placement of the dial to adjust the resistance. I’m pretty short, and since my seat sits lower, my knees sometimes bump into the resistance dial and abruptly changes how much weight I’m pushing against, making the pedal strokes jarring when it happens. This is only a minor issue though as it’s easy to readjust.
  Overall, this is one of the best fitness purchases I’ve made and love the smoothness of this machine. I highly recommend!
