Sunny Health & FitnessIndoor Cycling Exercise Bike with 40 LB Flywheel and Dual Felt Resistance - Pro / Pro II

It amazing and easy to move inside home

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

Really good for home use. After a while when you increase resistance the brake will start making sounds. Other than that satisfied with the product.

Amazing! Really very worth it. I was amazed about the material and it’s easy to set up/ even if you don’t have manuals 😂

Noisey after a month of use age. Will try to lubricate the chain. No RPM meter only bike

Good quality and very affordable.

Good quality ,

Product quality is good. But making a sound from the starting and vendor is not helping at all. Still, you suggest you all not to buy from this Vendor and check other similar options.

UPDATE Dec 4th, 2013:I've had my Sunny for just about a year now- and I use it quite vigorously, as I do Tabata drills- and it is holding-up great! Haven't had to do anything at all to it, yet! It's still like new. I'm amazed at what a bargain it is, for such a low price. I see the cheap spin bikes they have at the local Walmart.... They look like they're half falling apart just sitting there on the display platform! :DNow back to the original review:I'm going to divide this review up into three sections for convenience, to address the bike itself; Some other reviewers comments; and a little something about spinning in general. But first, a little about me: I am a recreational cyclist who logs over 3000 miles a year on a road bike and I purchased this spin bike so that I can stay fit in the winter, when, due to weather and limited hours of daylight, I don't get to ride my road bike as often. Prior to getting this spin bike 5 days ago, I'd never been on a spin or exercise bike in my life.THE BIKE ITSELF: I am amazed at the quality of this spin bike; and for such a low price. I had looked at a number of spin bikes in B&M stores- even ones that cost substantially more- and this one is as good or better than most! It is simplicity in itself to assemble (I will eventually post some notes in the comments section of this review, on how to assemble for the mechanically-challenged, as the manual that comes with the bike is not very helpful for anyone who would need to use it. But the beauty is, this bike is so easy to assemble, a child could do it, without instructions).This bike has a 40 lb. flywheel (A lot of more expensive bikes have lesser flywheels!) and having a heavy flywheel makes all the difference in smoothness; real bike feel and the ability to give you a good workout, even when you're working with little or no resistance. The bike is rock solid (I weigh 190 lbs. and can thrash around and stand on the pedals without any worries at all). The quality, fit and finish are excellent. It even looks great.I wanted a mechanically simple bike, to ensure durability and reliability- and this bike fits the bill perfectly. The resistance is provided by a simple knob, which actuates a brake caliper via 2 short cables, and causes a felt brake pad on both sides of the flywheel to move towards the flywheel or away from it. That, and a simple, sturdy chain drive, means this thing will last forever- there are no electronically-controlled switches and servos to malfunction, as on some much more expensive bikes.Also, the crank arms (on which the pedals are mounted) are regular bicycle-type arms, and plenty strong- unlike many other bikes in this price range, which often have cheesy, thin metal rods as cranks. The pedals themselves are your standard-issue platform/rat-trap types, with plastic toe clips. The pedals are plenty sturdy and work just fine.The bike is easy to move around- just grab it by the handlebars and tilt it forward (Which is easy, as it is balanced so that the weight of the flywheel helps, and you are essentially just lifting the lighter rear-end) and roll it along on it's wheels! Everything on this bike is sturdy, and the adjustments are quick and easy.You will not "out-grow" this bike if you are a beginner- as it will allow for the toughest workouts, and take all that you can give it. I much prefer this to a bike-trainer, as it is much sturdier- and plus you don't have the hassles associated with attaching a real bike.If you're looking for bells and whistles (i.e. fancy electronics and displays) this may not be the bike for you- but if you want/need such things, I would recommend that you get a bike like this, and just get a real heart-rate monitor and/or cycling computer, as the electronic gadgetry on even the most expensive fancy spinning bikes is always woefully inaccurate, anyway.Bottom line is: If you want a durable sturdy bike that will take whatever you throw at it, you can't go wrong with this Sunny, nor get a better deal.OTHER REVIEWER'S CONCERNS: I can not believe that some others are giving this bike less than 5 stars. To address a few of their concerns: First off, it seems that ANYTHING (especially large, heavy things) which require assembly, always end up getting some bad reviews simply because some mechanically-challenged types do not assemble it properly- even when assembly is extremely simple.A few reviewers mentioned the left pedal "flying off". Well...keep in mind, that just as on a real bicycle, the left crank into which the pedal threads is reverse-threaded (So you tighten it by turning CONTERCLOCKWISE)- Trying to force it on as though it were normally threaded can strip the threads. That, and they probably just didn't tighten the pedal sufficiently.I see some complaining about the seat. If you don't spend a lot of time on a bike (real or spinning) it will take you some time to get used to sitting on a bike saddle. Also, you could go out and buy a five-thousand dollar road bike, and guess what? It's going to come with a crappy saddle, because of the fact that all people are different- and no seat is comfortable for everyone- so manufacturers of any kind of bikes tend to put cheap seats on, to keep the prices low, since the vast majority of riders will replace the seat with one that is to their personal liking. No sense putting a $200 Brooks saddle on a bike, thereby raising the price substantially, when it still will not be to the liking of many buyers.That being said, the seat on this Sunny is not so bad. I'm using the stock seat. It was a little uncomfortable the first two times, and then I got used to it. Some reviewers are suggesting getting a wider and/or more heavily padded seat- but, unless you are extremely obese/have a huge rear-end, that is NOT the thing to do! When it comes to bicycle seats, narrower is better; and with minimal padding- as wide/heavily padded seats may seem comfortable at first, but will result in chafing if you spend any time on the bike. If anything, the seat on the Sunny is too wide and has a tad too much padding- but it's O-K. Best bet is to wear a cheap pair of standard road cycling shorts on this bike (or any other) with a chamois/padding in the crotch. (And you'll see guys riding twelve-thousand dollar Venges doing that also). All seats require some break-in time...as does your bung. Give it some time!Some have mentioned various noises. This bike is quiet. It is not SILENT! There is a bushing on the front axle which can make a little rattling sound- especially when you're really cranking- which should not be a problem. Anything with a chain-drive will make a little sound- as chains are not silent. Also, keep in mind that chains stretch- or sometimes they are not properly tensioned from the factory- which means that you simply need to adjust the chain tension- and you WILL need to do this, as the bike breaks-in over time, even if it is very quiet at first. That's just regular maintenance for anything with a chain- I will post in the comment section how to do it, since there is no mention of it in the manual.(These manufacturers could avert a lot of problems if their manuals were better-written and more thorough!)This is the exact same bike as the Nordictrack GX2 Sport Bike, and a lot of others- which cost more money. All you are paying for with them, is the name...and in some cases, for a cheap plastic water bottle holder.One valid point that some others have made, is that this bike is probably not suitable for very short people- due to the fact that there is no provision to bring the handlebars closer to the seat. Although, if you're short and intent on getting this bike, that problem could be easily rectified by anyone with a welder. All the other adjustments on the bike (seat height, etc.) will easily accommodate you.SPINNING IN GENERAL: I was hesitant to buy an indoor bike, as I thought I would find it boring and never use it (I HATE exercise just for exercise's sake- You'd never catch me in a gym!) but I needed a way to insure that I keep my fitness over the winter when I can't ride my road bike as much. Well, let me tell you......I LOVE spinning! Download a few of the spinning MP3 workout classes here on Amazon (Such as this:  Rhythm Ride: Coached Cycling Workout Music Mix, Advanced High Intensity Interval Training Hiit, By Fitness Instructor Paul Katami  or this:  Cycleology: Coached Cycling Workout Music Mix, Interval Based Ride By Fitness Instructor Kristen James  , and the time flies by! Not only that, but you get a GREAT workout. I sweat more riding this in a 55*F room than I do while riding my road bike when it's 105*! (Put a mat under the bike, as the floor WILL get wet with your sweat!)- And the beauty of it is, I took my road bike out for a spin yesterday, and just after four sessions on the Sunny, my performance on the road had noticeably improved! I was 1.5MPH faster than my best previous time....and with a good wind blowing, no less! Amazing!Interesting thing: I noticed, on the spinning bike, my legs seem to get a better workout than they do on the real bike (and I live in a very hilly area!)- but riding the road bike makes me breathe harder (Not that you don't get a good cardio workout on the spin bike...it makes me breathe pretty hard too!)- and if you're not a cyclist, but enjoy spinning, might I suggest that you also give real cycling a try?Both activities really compliment and enahance each other...only on a real bike, you get to enjoy the scenery; make friends with the loose dogs; and enjoy the weather, while traveling many miles. (And you get to coast, too!)This was money well-spent, and I am very glad that I bought this spin bike. And oh, yeah.....even though it came from 2000 miles away, free shipping was fast (ordered on a Monday and it came the following Monday) and it arrived with no damage.I think this qualifies as my best purchase of 2012!PS: One more thing about the seat: If your seat is "level", understand that level for this type of seat means that the front of the seat will be sticking up somewhat- making it look like the seat is actually slanted back a bit. If you find your seat to be uncomfortable, try adjusting it into this position (the way it's meant to be)- and it very well may cure your problem.

Update 3/20/2019: I have updated my rating from 2 stars to 4. This is because Sunny Health and Fitness replaced my bike! In all sincerity, it’s some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. I can only recall receiving such service one other time, so it was stand-out. When I called their service line, an actual person answered instead of an automated system. It actually caught me off guard. They directed me to fill out a warranty form online even though I was likely out of warranty. I did so with little expectation that anything would happen, but figured at least I’d try. Much to my surprise, I heard back from them within a couple of days, they reviewed my submission and replaced the bike. It was more than I expected since I didn’t discover the structural defect until well after the warranty expired. I’m only on my second ride since receiving the replacement bike. I’ll leave my original review below and update it as I get more time on the new bike.Update 5/4/2019: I'm writing what I hope will be my final review on this product after receiving my replacement bike in March this year. I've had some time now to put the replacement bike through it's paces and to get a good feel for it's strengths and weaknesses. The first thing I checked, upon putting it together, was whether the frame was level this time. I literally took a level to almost every part of the bike, and this one was true. That was a relief after my last experience. Also, I've no longer been experiencing the back pain or knee pain caused by the previous bike with the crooked seat post tube on the frame.That said, I'm sticking with the four stars, because the rest of my quibbles still apply - except the part about the crooked seat post, obviously. You can read about what I liked and what I didn't like in my original review below. Despite my rather lengthy list of minor quibbles, it's still a nice bike for the price and I don't regret getting it.Summary: It's a good bike, and I like it. I plan to hang onto it and continue to use it as an indoor training bike during the bad weather months, or when I just don't have time for road rides. There's something immensely convenient about just hopping onto a bike in your own home, but not nearly as enjoyable as a road ride, of course. If you want a really inexpensive but very capable fitness bike, this is a great option. If you want something that's quiet (and has a water bottle holder!), you should probably expect to spend a little more money and go for a belt-driven model with magnetic resistance. I might do that someday - we'll see.Speaking of which, in the original review below I mentioned that I would probably not consider a Sunny Health and Fitness bike again due to the quality issues with the first bike. Well, after my great customer service experience and receiving a solid replacement bike, that has all changed. If the time comes for me to consider a new fitness bike, Sunny with be at the top of my list. They didn't have to replace my bike since it wasn't under warranty anymore. I should have noticed the issue earlier on, but I didn't because I used it so little initially. It seems that there are very few companies anymore that will stand by their products the way Sunny did with theirs. As a consumer, I appreciate that very much.*************************************************Original review (make sure to read the updates and summary too)...I bought this bike after undergoing a pretty significant surgery back in 2016. I'm an avid cyclist and wanted a machine that could at least help me accomplish some minor workouts during my recovery. Since my original intent was for a temporary solution, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. This bike seemed to be the perfect solution based on the reviews.When I got the bike, I was genuinely amazed at the build quality for the price. If you're old enough to remember those exercise bikes from the 80s that were completely flimsy and had a weird friction wheel adjustment that yielded an awkward pedal stroke as you added resistance...well, this bike is the complete opposite. It's heavy, solid, and has an extremely smooth and realistic ride quality. The 40 lb flywheel is great, probably contributing to the ride smoothness and quality. Assembly was incredibly easy, and the fit and finish (at least initially) appeared to be quite good. There were no scratches in the paint and the joint welds and build materials were solid. It also just looks nice with the chrome finish on the flywheel and the nice paint job. I was really happy with the bike.My only quibbles, until recently, were minor.- First, it’s noisy. I expected this based on the reviews, and it wasn't an issue for me since I use it in the basement away from the rest of the house. I’d prefer it to be quieter, of course, but I can live with a little noise for the price. If you’re in a shared living space or have sleeping kids nearby, the noise might be more of an issue for you.- Next, there’s no water bottle cage on the frame or cradle on the handle. I have to keep a TV tray next to the bike to hold my bottle. Again, not a deal-breaker, but it seems like a bit of an oversight for a piece of fitness equipment.- The handlebars and seat post are bit wobbly, even when fully tightened. But, it’s not a terrible wobble and I got used to it pretty quickly.- Next, the tension settings are inconsistent because the felt pads will wear or come out of adjustment when the brake is applied. Because of this, it’s harder to find consistent gearing/resistance when you’re trying to follow along with a fitness video. Installing a cadence meter and bike computer helped me with that to a degree.- In order to do chain maintenance, there are quite a few screws that need to be removed on the chain guard. It seems more time consuming that it needs to be, but the chain is soundly protected.- My biggest annoyance is the seat attachment. I replaced the factory seat with something nearly identical to my road bike saddle, but such a task was not as easy as it should be. It’s hard to explain, but the short story is that there are a lot of moving parts when attaching the seat compared with a standard bike. So, trying to fix the seat wobble or fine-adjust my saddle position was more cumbersome and eventually resulted in a stripped bolt. That should be easy enough to replace at the hardware store, but it’s an annoyance if you like to quickly fine-adjust your saddle orientation. I really have nothing good to say about the way the seat attaches to the bike, especially compared with road or mountain bike seat attachments, which are far easier.So, by now you’re probably wondering why I gave this bike two stars instead of three, four, or even five. Well, I've recently renewed my use of this bike as a trainer due to a tighter schedule and bad winter weather conditions. However, as I bumped up the intensity of my training, I hurt my back while riding my bike and was trying to figure out why. As I looked at the bike, I realized that while the bike itself was level, my seat was at an angle to one side of the bike. It wasn't just the seat itself, it was the entire post assembly. In order to level the seat, I had to raise the entire right side of the bike about a half inch by adjusting the bike’s foot pads. So, now the seat is level but the rest of the bike is at an awkward angle – a half-inch angle! This orientation has taken the strain off of my back, but it is now bothering my knee since the pedals are also at an angle (along with the handlebars).Regrettably, after looking at the Sunny Health and Fitness website, my bike is no longer under warranty, so there’s probably little, if anything, I can do about it. I did open an online claim anyway, in the off chance that the company might do something. But, I’m not holding my breath. In the meantime, I’ll be looking for a different training bike option, but it probably won’t be a Sunny Health and Fitness bike. My experience may be a fluke, based on all the other positive reviews, but I don’t know that I’m willing to take the chance on another at this point. Had it not been for this issue, which is very significant since I've had quite a bit of pain and several trips to the chiropractor, I would have been willing to give the bike a much better review since I otherwise genuinely like it.

I'm not a spinner but I wanted a stationary for cardio that mimicked the feel of my outdoor bike and heard spin cycles are great for that. It shipped quickly (two days). The box was in bad shape (see pics) but the bike wasn't damaged and there were no missing parts. Everything was packaged well and sealed tightly.PROS:The price was fantastic for something of this quality!Assembly was a breeze. The body of the bike was complete. I just had to attach a few things (handlebars, seat post, etc). Shouldn't take more than 15-30 minutes. The tools needed are included and sufficient. For anyone interested, I'm a woman and did it alone, no problems.The description says "heavy duty steel frame" and I agree. It's sturdy and strong. Nothing about the build of the bike says "cheap". I've been riding for a week without issue. It's smooth and consistent and the range of resistance is perfect. The heavy flywheel is a great asset. The bike is stable even when I ride standing up. The bike has knobs on the bottom for leveling.I'm not getting the noise others described. I wouldn't use it in the dead of night but it's still nothing like what others are hearing. It's a dull swooshing sound. Silicone lubricant on the pads should help if you're having problems with friction noise or smell at high resistance.Also, I can hear the chain but not like those who say it's banging up against the case. To be sure, I removed the case (see pics) and I didn't hear any difference so I put it back on. If you need to, popping the case off is easy. It has 9 screws, 2 bolts, all can be taken out with the tools provided without needing to take the pedal off.CONS:I'm 5'2 and the seat is too high. Some reviewers say customers aren't adjusting it properly and others say it's just not for short people. I agree with the second group. No combination of adjustments allowed me to ride properly and without being really uncomfortable.I would have returned it for that alone but figured trying to modify it would cost less than shipping it back. I removed the knob holding the seat post in place (see pics) and let the post drop all the way down until it couldn't anymore. Now I can ride it just fine.The handlebars are too far forward and can't be adjusted back. My arms end up too straight and it feels like all of my weight is jamming them forward into my hands. I rest a pillow over the handlebars to soften the feel and be able to sit more upright for now.The seat is very hard and narrow, definitely more than my outdoor bike, but any cushion/cover adds to the height so I left it alone. I thought I'd gotten used to it but it was too painful so I just went ahead and replaced it with a Schwinn extra wide soft foam saddle I found at Target for $25.I haven't had the problem others had with the pedals coming off yet or with the resistance knob jiggling out of place. The flywheel had adhesive on it out of the box from the plastic it was wrapped in. I used white vinegar to clean that off, not a big deal. Note: I use Clorox wipes to keep the bike clean and Windex keeps it shiny.ALTERNATIVES:In case this is helpful, I was deciding between the Sunny, the NordicTrack GX2 (currently $399) and the Spinner Sport (currently $349). I chose the Sunny for three reasons. 1) It was the cheapest. It was only $280 when I bought it. At the time of this review, it's $323. A higher price would have made the choice tougher.2) I was told by bike pros that spinners with the single top resistance pad don't have as broad a range of resistance as the ones with two side pads so I eliminated the Spinner Sport. I think Nordic's shipping would have been much higher than Amazon's if I had to return it and the product specialist didn't know as much about the GX2 so that was out.3) Sunny was the only one being sold on Amazon! I prefer to use my Amazon card when I can and Amazon's customer service has been good with returns/replacements, which made me more comfortable about the possibility of having to return it. If all three were being sold on here, I would have been torn.Anyway, if not for the seat height and handlebar issues, I'd give this bike five stars. I definitely think it's a good buy and use it daily. Will update if that changes!

I’ve been using this for a couple weeks now, I can roll around from one spot to another because of the wheels on the front, put it away in the corner roll it in front of the TV, lightweight and inexpensive- one problem the seat is ridiculous, so I bought the bigger, fatter seat, and it works great.

I watched a lot of reviews before purchasing this bike and I'm not disappointed. It's a great bike - very sturdy (no wobbling at all even when standing out of the saddle), very good resistance (almost too much at the lowest setting, to be honest) and the price was amazing. The only issue we had was with the resistance knob twisting off rather than adjusting, but we were able to fix it. The bluetooth works great. I only wish resistance level was one of the stats. Not a deal breaker though. You really can’t beat it for the price.
