Kobo Exercise Spin Bike with Steel Wheel (IMPORTED) (SB-1-YLW)

This machine is a beast. Rest assured, if 2 people are required to lift the package and deliver it to your doorstep, then the sturdiness needs no further clarification. Efficient and effective. Go fo it.

Writing the review after 12 days of use.Excellent spin bike for indoor exercise. Delivered well within the scheduled time-line, but product carton (a bit damaged at bottom side) was not encased in bubble wrap which is a must for the safety and protection of this costly product, specially as it was transported from Jalandhar to Mumbai via Chandigarh and as monsoon has also set in.Pros:1) Robust but heavy frame with wheels on front stabilizer for moving the bike around. Both the front and back Stabilizers have adjustable end caps for ground levelling if necessary.2) Easy to assemble (comes as a semi-assembled product) with all the required nut-bolts and tools provided with the bike. Takes about 45-60 minutes for assembling the bike. Assembly manual is included which is good enough.3) 18 Kg flywheel with chain drive (minimum noise, but yes, there is some) for smoother ride experience. Multi-level resistance setting using easily reachable manual knob. Same can be used as push-down brake to stop the flywheel immediately while in motion.4) Digital LED Monitor with Auto switch-off (after few minutes of inactivity) includes Scan (continuously alternating between the various readings after short time interval) along with Heart/Pulse Rate display, Speed, Time spent, Distance travelled, Calories burned, and Odometer (Total distance travelled). One can also select any single mode from the above for the display. All the readings can be reset if required.5) Vertically adjustable handlebar with pads to count Heart/Pulse Rate. Vertically and horizontally adjustable saddle. Adjustable pedal straps.---Cons:1) At this price, manufacturer could have provided Belt drive instead of Chain drive for more silent functioning and lesser servicing of the product.2) Finishing of the product is not that good, specially near welded joints and rough edges of the bike. Could have been better.3) People with height less than 5'5" might feel uncomfortable reaching for the handlebar, as horizontal adjustment of saddle is very limited. Should have been more in length OR manufacturer should have provided horizontal adjustment for handlebar too at this price.4) Saddle could have been little broader for better comfort.5) The provided aluminium water bottle is not up to the mark, specially the cap which is difficult to open. Replaced it with my own bottle.---In a way, a value for money product. If you are serious about your daily workout, go for it as it will be a good investment for your and your family's health.

Loved it. Super recommend it

1) package was already open, it was not sealed pack2) the seller might have sent the show peice bike, or it may have been returned earlier by some customer.3) there was very much sound while increasing resistance, I myself oiled it to reduce the friction sound, it's ok now.4) the chain is creating lot of noise, it needs to be worked no. It must be coming from cog or something else. I have to check.5) sturdyness wise, the material is heavy 5 on 5 for that . The spin wheel is amazing.6) a normal customer will give 1 or 2 out of 5. But as I know some engineering stuff and I can fix some issues I will give 2.5 or 3 out of 5.

Bad product and some parts as chain cover and meter holder are of plastic which can break easily. Secondly the chain cover make sounds when we increase the friction and speed. Which is annoying. No reply and no solution from Amazon as well kobo customer care.

The cycle is sturdy but not meant for serious spinning. No specialised pedals to lock the shoes. The handle is adjustable on height wise & not adjustable as in towards the seat & away from. Seat is also not effectively adjustable since the front & back adjustment is not enough for a person of my height ( 5’6”) I had to buy pedals for an additional 4K & am yet to figure out how to make the seat & handle more comfortable. I would not suggest this for anyone who takes spinning classes.

Nice product

The media could not be loaded. Received this bike one day before estimated. This bike is good and meets my expectations. Came with good packing and easy to assemble. Seat adjustment could have been better. User manual helps perfectly. Good for indoor training.
