Great surreal rides and auto adjusting features like incline and resistance. Workouts unlocked if you use app, which for beginner intermediate or advanced riders is a fabulous tool that takes all the guess work out of training. So easy to get on and go. Comfortable seat, lots of knobs to adjust height and seat etc to fit anyone. Heavy bike and very large so need 2 people to set up and space to sto Miya · rebelsport.com.au

It’s in my bedroom so I do 30 minutes first thing in the morni GARY R. · sunnyhealthfitness.com
