Ape Style SX600XL Magnetic Flywheel Spin Bike with Extra Large Frame reviews

Bought this just before lockdown. It’s great for a cardio workout at home when gyms are closed. Easy to assemble and put together

Easy to assemble. Am 6 foot 5 and the bike is a good size and has a lot of adjustment. The bikes 8 resistance levels vary appropriately and are easy to change

Nice solid cycle. Only 2 negatives that I have on it are that the magnetic brake does not have enough resistance at max, and the computer could use an RPM setting.

The brake issue is the worst offender, so if you really like a lot of resistance doing climbs you may find it lacking. That said it is enough to do standing uphills, but ideally I would have liked it to be maybe 2× as heavy. It's also not possible to completely disengage the brake as if freewheeling downhill, though that's not really that big of an issue.

The lack of RPM is a shame if one wants to follow along spin videos, but its not really that much of a deal breaker (personally).

I am 1,92cm (height) and weights around 100 kg, and I have never found a decent spin bike here in New Zealand to suit my size at a reasonable price. This one surpassed my expectations by miles away!!! Fast shipping, sturdy material, very silent, and aesthetically beautiful (graphite colour with polished finishings), it looks like those commercial bikes from most gyms in terms of quality. This one is way better than famous brands being sold in other retailers like Torpedo7 etc. The resistance is really strong, in my old spin bike I was at MAX resistance, while in this one I struggle to go further than resistance #3. Score 10 out of 5 stars definitely.
