Sunny Health & Fitness Indoor Home Cycling Bike with Quiet Belt Drive, 44 LB Flywheel and 265 Max Weight - SF-B1712

Just got this the other day and have worked out on it a couple of times. First of all, it seems nearly impossible to figure out the differences between all of the Sunny Bikes. After going to their website and looking at a chart that compares their exercise bikes that basically says they pretty much have all of the same features, I decided to pull the trigger on this one. Assembly was easy--took about 30 minutes. This bike is incredibly sturdy and solid for the price. It is also very quiet, so you could work out while someone else watches TV or even reads in the same room. And it is adjustable--my 12 year old son (about 5'2") was able to find a position that fit him by lowering the seat and handlebars. There are no frills with this (other than a water bottle holder), but if you pair it with a cadence or speed sensor and use an old phone or tablet, you will be fine. I also bought a pair of exercise bike pedals that have clips for Shimano SPD compatible shoes on one side and a flat surface with old school toe clips on the other, which were easy to install in place of the pedals that come standard with this bike. Would definitely recommend this for people who want a solid spin bike but don't want to spend a lot of money (at the time I ordered it, it was selling for about $350).

Purchased this bike so I could bring my favorite workout home! When doing research I was looking for a bike that was sturdy, had adjustable handlebars, and wouldn’t break the bank. Based on the reviews and product description I decided on this model. This bike is very sturdy when out of the saddle, the only time I feel it move a little is when I’m getting more into the upper body moves (push-ups, hovers) but not to where I think I’ll fall over or anything! It’s quiet and yields a smooth ride. I’m 4 ft. 11, and on the lowest settings it was still a tad too tall. However, I got some help to shorten the seat and handle (had to trim about two inches with a metal saw) and it’s PERFECT! I purchased Shimano SPD pedals for my spin shoes, and they fit great. As far as the comfort of the seat goes-it’s standard to spin bikes. You get used to it-promise-but they sell gel covers everywhere. I would buy this bike again!

Love this bike! I would have given it 5 stars except I had a few issues. First, let me say, I have type 2 diabetes and over the years have bought a lot of exercise equipment. I've been watching all the Peloton commercials and started missing my old exercise bike and spin classes, but did not want to spend a lot of money or join another gym. After researching, found out the Sunny bikes were the best buy for the money. I decided to go with this version (slightly more expensive) because it has the 44 pound flywheel and both the handlebars and seat are adjustable (I'm short). The bike shipped on time, was packaged extremely well, and was very easy to assemble. Before assembling, read the other reviews about the pedals and be sure to follow the instructions. I put the wheels on first, then brought the frame and the rest of the packaging upstairs and finished assembling in my "fake Peloton" spot (see pictures). I have an old TV cabinet; decided to pay $12 per month for the Peloton spin app (great app!!!! - just use HR zones instead of that output nonsense), put an old sound bar (doesn't quite fit but who cares) and voila - now I can rock out every morning. Plus this setup has the added benefit of being multi-purpose - I can also do yoga/Pilates classes via PilatesAnytime.com (that's a cheap Pilates machine - also bought on Amazon - hidden by a bench in the background); or we can watch Netflix; or we can let the grandkids watch movies in the same area when we put the bike away. The extremely expensive Peloton was single purpose - but hey, the commercials are really cool. Since I recycled some stuff from other rooms, this entire setup, including the bike, was less than $600. I'm extremely pleased, have already lost 5 pounds without trying very hard. The bike is also small and doesn't take up much space, so I tend to just leave it out all the time. If I want to move it, it moves very easily, I just pick it up from the back end. NOW, the small changes that caused the loss of one star: for some reason, the designers put two handles on the knobs that adjust the seats that have left me bruised. I'd be in the zone, rocking out, go to sit down, and wham! the dang handle would hit me in the thigh. I finally asked dear boyfriend to remove them, turned out they were very easy to remove with a Phillips screwdriver, and it was very easy to put the bolts back on with a 9/16" ratchet. The seat and handlebar are actually much tighter now than before, so we went around the bike and tightened the other screws/bolts that were pre-assembled. Other than that, love it!!!UPDATE: My sister loves the bike also and asked me to order the same bike for her, so now we'll have two bikes and she plans to stop by every morning at 6:00 am to spin with me. STILL cheaper than the Peloton!! And I get to see my sister more often!!UPDATE (1/4/2020): Yes, we still love the bikes, and yes, they still work great. Somebody called me "skinny" the other day and I know it's because we have been consistent with the bikes. The Peloton app makes it a lot of fun, even with the crappy changes in their music selections. However, we also still love the Peloton app. The instructors are excellent and provide enough variety to keep us on track. No problems with the bikes, we just need to check it every three months or so and tighten any screws that came loose. The only other change is that we put small throw rugs under each bike to catch the sweat, moved some more furniture out of the room to give the bikes more space, and added a new TV / sound system.

It arrived on time. Box was super heavy, so husband had to take care of bringing it in. Quick and easy to assemble, about 20 minutes. One piece arrived damaged, the black plastic piece that the handlebars went into. Still was able to use the bike but wanted it replaced and it was taken care of by amazon and sunny. Very good service. I have spinned almost everyday for over a month now and have been very happy with the performace of this bike for this price. I am realizing how serious of a biker I am now because of all this and def will upgrade in the future. This bike was perfect for what I needed right now.

Nice and solid ride for advanced riders. Update: the tension knob failed and now no resistance can be applied after only owning the bikes for about 2 months.

Assembly was relatively pain I was able to put it together myself but the seat is incredibly painful. I will definitely be purchasing a replacement seat cushion. It is overall very quiet when in use.

I’ve done about 20 rides with this bike and I’m very happy. I have never owned an exercise bike before and am not a big spinner. I use it with the peloton app. The bike doesn’t have a cadence display so I just follow the music. The bike is sturdy, the ride is smooth and quiet. One tiny complaint is the knob that adjusts the seat sticks out in a way that my leg bumps it. It doesn’t cause pain, but it clicks and is annoying. As it loosens up I think I’ll be able to torque it Down so it hides under the seat. Great bike for the price.

If you can’t afford a peloton like I do! This bike is your to go option! Super easy to assemble, I’m amazed the delivery guy was able to deliver the bike to a 2nd floor apartment that box was so heavy! But other than that this will be my new little toy since I’m scared to go back to a studio after this quarantine!
