Quick verdict
LiftEvidence editorial assessment
A compact upright bike with 16 levels of magnetic resistance, 13 programmes on a 5.5 in LCD, grip and telemetry heart rate, and Bluetooth for Zwift or Schwinn’s routes. Owners call it good value, quiet and sturdy. Reliability, resistance behaviour and seat comfort all get mixed reviews.
