For Tom’s Guide Diana currently focuses on sleep, mattresses, and fitness equipment. The Sunny Health & Fitness app received one star out of five. In the end, this indoor cycling bike model didn’t quite hit that mark for me but could be a good, entry-level indoor cycling bike for the right fitness enthusiast—particularly if they’re on a budget. By that time, we already had the Sunny recumbent bike…
Thanks to its silent and seamless magnetic system, users can work out in peace without the annoying whirr of other stationary cyclers. To keep track of your exercise time and the number of calories you’ve burned, cyclists can use the LCD screen built into their bikes. Built with four adjustable components, this stationary model comes with foot straps, a belt-drive mechanism, fan tension, and an onboard performance monitor. Sunny Health & Fitness is a premiere distributor and importer of high quality health and fitness products. Having been in business for over a decade and headquartered in Los Angeles-California and Xiamen , we have a combined number of 100+ employees worldwide…all working hard to bring you the best in what we offer. Because we source directly through our wide network of manufacturers, our pricing is much more competitive than the average distributor in the industry.
Our other big complaint is that the seat is quite hard for longer rides. Even after using the bike for a month, we still found it rather uncomfortable. If you find it an issue, too, you could replace it with a more cushioned seat or even invest in a thick seat cover or padded cycling shorts. There is no way of knowing what RPM you’re going at, and in truth that’s one of the biggest drawbacks of this bike.
It’s also pretty compact with a footprint of 53” x 19” x 44”. I was also impressed by the Sunny bike’s seat, which has thick, cushy padding that makes it feel more comfortable than most spin bikes. Many people buy seat covers for their spin bikes, but it’s unlikely that you’ll have to do it with the Sunny, even if you’re someone who tends to feel sore after a few Sunny Health Fitness minutes in the saddle. Support suggested things such as “breaking the plastic cap” and “submerging the parts in water to make it easier to pull apart”. They have denied our request to get actual working parts that can be adjusted and say that it is not covered under warranty, even though the issue that we have had since the we got the bike has not been resolved.
The site says the seat to handlebar distance is 18 inches to 23 inches but from where my hands would be placed on the handlebars to the seat tip at the closest setting, I measured 23 inches. I know from my indoor cycling gym class days and instructor setups what it should feel like to be in the most comfortable position on the ride for me and that little bit of extra stretch to the front wasn’t ideal.
