Sunny Health & Fitness Asuna 6100 Exercise Bike

I bought this cycle about 8 months ago, so I’ve had time to assess the real value of this purchase. This cycle is heavy!! Assembly is only made difficult because of its weight. But its weight is what really insures its stability while in use. Let’s just say that I’m over 225 lbs., & 6 ft. tall, and at age 63, have a history of compromised knee health. So the weight rating and stability were critical factors in the selection process. This thing is rock solid, even at cadences over 100 rpm. It’s amazingly quiet, still after 8 mos., and I really appreciate the magnetic resistance feature which significantly adds to the quietness of the ride. The seat is surprisingly comfortable, even for someone my size, and the height adjustment for the seat and handlebar, once set, LOCK in place. I keep an iPad on the included holder and watch YouTube cycling videos during workouts. The computer attaches at a location on the handlebar that is easily visible, and displays the settings large enough see clearly: rpm/mph, time duration, accumulated miles, calories, and pulse. The pulse tracker uses an elastic chest strap with battery operated monitor that Bluetooths your pulse to the computer. I’d have much preferred something like a wrist monitor, as the chest strap is awkward, but it may be more accurate than any alternative—I don’t know. The battery on the pulse monitor is a generic disc size and changes out simply enough. The computer battery is a different story. It requires an Allen wrench to access the back mount, in order to get to the battery compartment. It changes out, though (from disassembly to battery change-out, to reassembly), in 3-4 minutes. With regular use, fortunately, that only has to be done about every 3-4 mos. This has been a great choice for my fitness routine, and for someone of my size and age. You can spend a lot less and compromise stability, and you can spend a lot more for more “bells & whistles,” but this cycle is the real deal, and will hold up to the most rigid fitness routine, and should hold its value well for months/yrs. to come!
