Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B1714 Evolution Pro Magnetic Indoor Cycling Bike

I ordered this on March 21, 2022 My PCP told me I needed to start exercising in a way that was better for my knees, so cycling it was. But I live out in the county and it is primarily gravel roads, so I ended up deciding to just get a stationary bike first. I'm a large man, 250lbs and 6ft6" tall so it was a lengthy search finding something in my budget that would work for me. My legs were still a little too long for this bike but it was close enough I could still use it without feeling overly cramped. Assembly was simple and it feels very robust, I was actually impressed by the weight and rigidity of the materials. I get zero flex or wobble after properly adjusting the feet heights on my tile floor. I had doubts about the durability of the belt drive system, but so far I haven't had any issues and it's definitely much more quiet than some older chain drive stationary bikes I remember riding in the past. There were a couple things that were a problem though. The bottle holder placement is very awkward while riding. You can't exactly coast on these like a regular bike so grabbing a water bottle while peddling is impossible for me, mostly due to my height. I really wish these had other optional mounting heights and locations. I'll likely drill higher holes and install some rivnuts to move it up. But for now I've just been stopping to take a drink. And the other issue was the seat. I absolutely HATED the seat on this thing. It did not fit my anatomy at all and was way too squishy in all the wrong places. I now have a properly sized Brooks bike saddle installed and it makes a HUGE difference. Soooooo much more comfortable! so much so that I can ride this thing for hours without my butt hurting. And The seat mounting bracket can be removed from the original seat and be transferred over to the new saddle. Was a very easy process. Also, based on the advice from a friend that is an experienced cyclist I determined where to better position the seat for my long legs and increase comfort even further. But to do this I had to modify the mounting bracket. Even after adjusting everything to the maximum position I still couldn't get a proper leg extension. But after the modification it is absolutely fantastic and due to the build quality I don't expect to need a replacement for many years. With the seat so far back I did occasionally rub the riser post with my thigh, but it's nothing painful, was just barely brushing up against it. But after getting some proper cycling bibs it never happens anymore due to the compression at the thing. So if you're slightly too tall for the bike, you can drill a hole in the seat post plate and flip the plate around and then bolt it on to get more length. BUT it's not easily adjustable now, so if you have multiple riders In the house I don't recommend this.

Wow...this Cycling Bike is the bomb... I absolutely love it. My husband was going to buy another cycling bike that was going to cost him $3,000. I suggested he check amazon and low and behold we found this bike. I was like -- I don't know -- is it good quality? Well let me tell you -- I'm glad we brought this Sunny bike. It tops the expensive ones. When it arrived, my husband opened the box and he hugged me and said THANKS HONEY -- you saved me a lot of money. I said to him you owe me...lol..lol. Okay.. the setup of the bike was simple you had to put on the seat, petals and front and back bottom bars, water bottle, few knobs -- at least that's what my husband said. He said it basically came already set up. The bike is very heavy... and I mean "heavy" -- I am a woman and I could not pick up this bike -- I tried and said forget it. Luckily it has wheels in the front for moving if need be. My husband just picks up the back part to move it. Its of very excellent, excellent quality. Not sure if this thing is all steel construction or what? Its darn heavy (which is a good thing). The bike is really sturdy --- does not move when you exercise. My husband put an exercise mat underneath -- just to protect the floor just in case it ever moves -- but I sincerely doubt it will ever move. Bars, seat, everything is sturdy when I ride. On the bars, it has a place where I can place my samsung pad for watching Youtube videos on cycling. If you have a smart tv you can also watch youtube videos on cycling. It's just perfect. Also, You have a place on the side to put your water bottle. Cons: Please, please if you do buy this bike you must buy a "seat cushion" first for extra comfort before you ride -- something plush or super soft. The seat is well made and it is hard -- guess its made to last. Can't say I didn't warn you. Now the bike does make a very slight, slight, slight noise but nothing to complain about. I really didn't notice it until I saw a review on amazon before I brought the bike that said it made a tiny noise. So when I brought the bike I listened out for it -- It's really nothing at all - you have to listen hard to hear it. I almost did not buy this bike because someone complained about the noise. Glad I did not listen to that review -- I would have missed out on this bike. I am going to definitely recommend this bike to my friends. So all in all I rate this bike 10 GOLD STARS!!! Its the best quality Cycling bike I have ever seen. Hope this helps.

I was looking for a straight forward exercise bike without the tech or monitor because I'm not interested in knowing my heart rate, distance, speed or timer, nor am i interested in online classes with someone reeling a list of motivational clichés to keep me going (you know the brand name). I purchased this on 22/12/2022 and paid £159.10 sold by Amazon EU S.a.r.L then a couple of days later notices the price hiked up to £329.99 glad I'm brought this when I did now, plus there isn't a warranty on this outside USA I'm in the UK. Setup was easy to do and the tools were included, but keep hold of the manual as it has instructions for maintenance required for daily-weekly and monthly including belt tightening should a problem arise. Also Sunny have some maintenance videos on YouTube to help you with removing the felt/leather pads for oiling but you can also use a clean wire brush to rough the leather up a bit for extra friction. So having used this for 1 week now I cannot fault this exercise bike it has been silent to use. I set a 45 minute timer on my echo dot and the bike is Infront of the bedroom TV and I watch indoor cycling on YouTube so its like having a cycle simulator and its easier and safer as its winter months with cold dark mornings to roll out of bed and use this set up (cycling around the alps LOL) than dragging myself outside in the wintry conditions. Overall I'm pleased.

I just got this and assembled. Easy to assemble but the spanner the provide for the lock nut on the pedals is not effective. I used a pedal wrench I had and and was able to tighten. First workout was good but at 6'-1" I wish the seat could go back just a smidge more. Smooth quiet operation. I will update in a week with more workouts completed.

me daba un poco de duda por lo de que fueran a faltar piezas, pero viene casi todo pre armado, es muy poco lo que hay que hacer. me sorprendio que no se escucha casi nada de ruido, el poquito ruido que hace es por ponerle algo de resistencia, si lo dejas sin resistencia 0 ruido, no despiertas a nadie incluso puedes ver la television o prgoramas en una tablet sin ruido molesto

Great bike for the price

So far so good. Received less than a week ago. Packaging was in excellent shape. Easy to remove from box and super easy to assemble!! Very solid construction. Easy and quick to adjust for different riders. Fairly quiet ride which was important to me as I often ride when others are sleeping. The seat is somewhat hard but may just need some breaking in. Knew this before from other reviews so no surprise. Using my padded shorts so not completely uncomfortable. Have already put on several hours in the first 5 days with some hi-intensity stand up peddling with no issues.
