Product Information

In repairing the product, JLL Fitness Ltd. may replace defective parts or at the option of JLL Fitness, use serviceable used parts that are equivalent to new parts in performance. All exchanged parts and treadmills replaced under this warranty will become the property of JLL Fitness Ltd. Most spin bikes are in the range of 30 lbs to 50 lbs and for most people this range is fine for providing them with the smoothness and workout they want. The Apex is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled and works perfectly in sync with the app. The only downside is that at the time of writing the app is only compatible with Apple iOS and so its a no-go for android users. We have it on good authority that Apex are working on an Android app though so watch this space – (edit – Android has now launched so everyone can access the brilliance of the Apex App). You can sync your data with Strava and Apple Health which is also a nice touch. While there are built-in pulse sensors for heart rate monitoring, if you are looking for very accurate readouts you might want to connect a Bluetooth chest belt. The flywheel is 15kg which is less than some of the other models we tested but it did perform well for us. It is not quite as smooth as the JLL models but it is not noticeably jerky either. In fact, we had some very enjoyable rides on the SB500 and the level of challenge afforded by the magnetic resistance was impressive. This bike has a two way chain driven system which may explain why the ride is not quite so smooth as the belt driven systems we tested but it should also mean longevity will not be an issue with this model. The pedals seem well made and have foot straps to keep your feet in place and the pedalling action was smooth with nothing out of the ordinary.

For novices, amateurs, and experienced exercisers alike, there’s one feature of the exercise bike that you should carefully consider before spending any money – the console.Whether you exercise by calories or kilojoules, you’ll need to make sure that the bike displays all the information you want to see. Some bikes will even display your heart rate and record your distance covered in various measurements.Other bikes don't have a screen, they require a smartphone or tablet Those into heart rate-based training will appreciate the built-in pulse sensors on the handlebars, and the option to connect a Bluetooth chest belt for unrestricted movement and more accurate readout. It would be nice if it was compatible with Bluetooth chest belts but we would expect the bike to cost a little more Bluetooth connectivity. We have compiled the best spin bikes available in the UK and after spending a month or so testing each of them we can confidently bring you our full verdict on which is the best spin bike for you. We have selected a complete range of indoor studio type cycles for you to choose from and there should be something to suit all budgets and fitness levels. The JTX Studio V5 is a well-built machine and perfect for someone who wants to push their limits with studio-style-based riding at home. ProsDespite the light flywheel it still produces a smooth and natural ride and most customers give it top marks. It uses a different approach to getting the momentum needed by increasing the speed the flywheel is turning than on traditional spin bikes. While Peloton are very generous with their services there are a few accessories which aren't included we feel should be.

At the time of writing this, Echelon is offering an extended 45-day free trial to their app, longer than the typical 30 days. This is the experience that a heavy flywheel provides for the user on an indoor bike. The feel is much more natural and it won’t feel like the effort is too easy or you are riding in the wrong gear. Natural Smooth Ride The key one point I would emphasis is to make sure the ride is comfortable! This is very important even if you have to get a couple of extras whether that is spinning shoes or a gel seat cover. You can even replace the seat/ pedals on most models if you really want to make the bike fit you comfortably. When I first used this model, I struggled to get comfortable but after some adjustments I felt as though I could go for hours without becoming sore.The Echelon Connect Sport Smart Exercise Bike is a great choice for those seeking a quality bike without the hefty price tag. With a good tablet and holder, you can have this bike set up to feel very similar to the Peloton bike. Pros Not only are we endorsing this product after testing, but it is also given a ‘best buy’ award by the Independent thanks to its incredible build quality. It has a relatively small footprint which makes it ideal for use at home (dimensions are 120.5cm length x 63cm width and a maximum height of 126cm), it features a 7kg flywheel which is actually incredibly high performance and has up to 32 levels of resistance. You get 30 days of membership to the Echelon live classes and on-demand classes (as well as the app and all that comes with that) when you buy the bike and you can extend this if you wish – which you probably will want to do as the software is incredible and very motivational. But even without a paid subscription, you can still use the 'freestyle ride' mode which provides all the basic information like resistance and cadence.
