I am very pleased with my purchase. I bought the bike online from Northern Fitness on Sunday and by Monday at 1pm they had already delivered and set it up for me. I’ve had the bike for about 3 months now. Quality is great, it’s sturdy and a smooth ride. Size is also great if you don’t have a lot of space. Would definitely recommend!

Pros: It seems reasonably well made but not up to Tunturi or Matrix standards. The seat is comfortable and half-hour sessions are a breeze, aided especially by the reclining seat back. The flywheel is a good weight making for a smooth peddle action. The built-in speakers are surprisingly good and are used regularly which I didn't expect. I paid extra for someone to assemble the bike and this was w Ken H. · fitness-superstore.co.uk
