This Sunny SF-B901 is another bike in the budget category for spin bikes. There is not any technological features, just the typical resistance that allows you to get your workout in without messing with any special computer. Many spin bikes do not come with many options, but I think that is a good thing. They get the job done without breaking the bank.
What you get with the Sunny Health and Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike is a very simple, effective machine that is both easy to put together and built tough. Take a look at what it all comes with.
Resistance
The Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike does not really come with any special features, but what it does come with is a simple system to adjust the resistance. There is a single knob located near the front of the bike that you turn. When you turn it, this will change the resistance. I found that using this bike, it has a full range of resistance that is perfect for those just starting to cycle all the way up to those who have cycled for years and want to get an intense session in.
Sound and Flywheel
This is a budget bike, but the flywheel is actually pretty beefy. Weighing in at 40 pounds, this makes sure you will not be moving the bike around. It will stay in one position and enable smooth cycling through out your workout. What I really loved about the flywheel is that it makes the pedaling motion feel very natural, just like I was riding a bike on the road or a track.
As for the sound, this is also a quiet bike. It is not the quietest spin bike we have tested, but it does not make that much noise. I would say that it is very easy to watch television while riding it, which is good enough for most people.
The Seat
What I found with the Sunny SF-B901 is that the seat is not very comfortable. To be able to get through my entire routine, I had to go into the garage and get my gel seat. I think for the price of the bike though, it is something that I should be able to put up with. The gel pad I have cost me 10 dollars at the local store and made things a lot better.
The seat is not the best but I found that the handlebars were comfortable as well as adjustable. I would say that anyone of any height would be able to use this unit.
Transportation
This bike weighs in at 108 pounds so moving it around is no easy task. Thankfully the company has included wheels so if you must move it around your house, the task is much easier. I would suggest finding a nice corner and leaving your bike there instead of trying to move it out of a closet each time you want to get a workout in.
Warranty
Sunny Health & Fitness has included a 1 year warranty for the frame and a 90 day warranty for any parts that may be needed.
Size
The Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike weighs in at 108 pounds. It has the dimensions of 20 X 46.5 X 49.5 inches.
Real User Reviews of the Sunny Health & Fitness Pro indoor Cycling Bike
What I noticed when looking at the reviews is that it has over five hundred 5 star reviews on amazon. This is great because even though it is a budget bike, it really is making people happy and getting the job.
Some of the reviews talk about how this bike is actually better than some bikes that cost over a thousand dollars. The quality of the bike makes it steady, and they are able to cut some of the price off because it does not come with a fancy computer. While most reviews were very positive, there was a single complaint that I saw mentioned a few times.
After using the bike for many months, some people found that there was a squeaking noise from adjusting the resistance. This is caused because the lubricant is rubbing off so after a few months of use, simply use a lube on the pads and this will go away. I think this is really not an issue because lubricant will not last forever. If this is the only problem you have with this bike, I would say that this is a great purchase.
Final Thoughts
The Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike is not expensive! You get a great budget spin bike that will allow you to put in some effort and get results. If you want to make a smart purchase that is sure to help you along in your fitness journey, this is the bike for you!
