JLL IC200 PRO Indoor Cycling Exercise Bike For Home, Direct Belt Driven, Advanced Flywheel, Magnetic Resistance, 3-Piece Crank, 5 Readout Monitor, Heart Rate Sensors, Adjustable Seat

3 year update - Yep, still going. Safe to say this was value for money.2 year update - Still going strong with daily use.<b>1 year update</b>: I bought this bike a year ago and it's still going strong with daily use. If the seat pole starts to squeak, it's just because the screws holding it in place are bare metal and is easily fixed by a quick squirt of pound shop lubricating oil like WD40 or similar and everything is back to silent again. Takes 1 minute to do and I've only had to do it twice in a year of daily use. I paid a lot more than its current price (due to lockdown everything was almost double price) and I don't mind at all. 100% worth it. Here's to another year.After a year of daily training, I've managed to go from resistance 2/8 to 5/8, and even then it's very difficult to get to 40 minutes. Don't think I'll be running out of resistance levels anytime soon, which was one of my concerns in the initial review.Good luck!<b>Original review:</b>I'm a mid-30's 5ft 10inch male who wanted some low impact cardio to improve my fitness levels that wouldn't disturb my neighbours through my paper-thin walls. After a good week of daily research on various sites, I decided to purchase this JLL IC200 because of the high number of 4* and 5* reviews (Currently at 92% combined).The bike arrived from JLL via DHL next day delivery almost two weeks earlier than expected, despite being out of stock when I first ordered it. I got a 1 hour delivery window thanks to DHL being the chosen courier.When the bike dispatches, be sure to use the provided tracking number on the site given in your order summary, as the Amazon scheduled delivery date is not correct, though the dispatch notification was.The package itself weighed in at 37kg/~81lbs/~6 Stone. Luckily, it had some packing straps around the large cardboard box and some handle cutouts. In combination, these allowed me to pull it up two flights of stairs and slide it along the floor. No real lifting required, but if you're small, get someone to help.Assembley was easy, and it comes with all the tools required, an instruction manual and JLL's youtube channel has a video demonstration. Be sure to remove the little wedge from under the emergency brake like the bright yellow label says, or it'll be very hard to pedal and make a chugging noise. You may find yourself taking the whole thing apart to find out what it is, only to find out it's the wedge you forgot to remove keeping the brake engaged.N-not that I did that.Just saying.When properly assembled, which I did perfectly the first time, it's extremely quiet. The 8 settings are fine for me. I can peddle more easily than expected on the highest setting, but tire very quickly. Not sure it'll be enough if you're extremely fit, but maybe bikes are the same. I don't know much about them.The saddle is probably the most uncomfortable thing I've ever sat on. I had to put a pillow over it. Maybe I'm not used to it or just have super sensitive buttocks, but luckily a new one is only 20 pounds, so I bought the highest rated comfort saddle here on Amazon. I'll update this when it arrives. I won't deduct any stars for such a little piece that is so easily and cheaply replaced. The default one is... functional.It's easy to move, which is great because I have to put it away after every use. You tilt it like in the picture and just rolls on its wheels. Very easy to do.I don't care about the monitor, so didn't try it. It comes with two AAA batteries though.The whole wheel is enclosed in the hard grey shell too, so there aren't any moving parts exposed to the outside apart from the pedals themselves. This is probably good news if you have pets or kids.Given that it took so long for me to save for, I was hoping to have made a good decision in the end, and I don't regret it at all. I'm very happy with the thing. I'll update the review if anything happens, but it's really sturdy-feeling, so I don't expect anything to go wrong.Update: 3 weeks in and everything is great so far. Turns out that the discomfort with the seat was just my not being used to it. In three days it went from almost unbearably uncomfortable to barely detectable. Now, it doesn't hurt at all.

Received this today, really easy to put together only took 10 minutes. Quality is excellent and the plastic cover over the flywheel is great as we have a toddler milling around and he can’t get his fingers trapped in it.For the price you’d struggle to find anything better quality than this.Excellent! Thank you

After spending hours and hours reading all the reviews of this and similar bikes I settled on this one. It arrived earlier than expected (unannounced, but definitely a bonus) and was very easy to assemble; the video is idiot-proof and there really isn’t much putting together to do. The box it is delivered in is heavy, but it was easy to unpack it downstairs and carry each component upstairs to put it together there.I was a bit worried that there would be insufficient resistance for me, looking at the weight of the flywheel, but it allows me plenty of scope and I’m really enjoying using it with the CycleGo app (really good value for money and the intermediate level is great for me, a fairly fit beginner).I have to say so far, so good with the bike, although there have been a few hiccups along the way. Firstly, the saddle is awful and I had to purchase a gel cover, which has now made it tolerably comfortable. Secondly, it took me several days of use to get the bike set up correctly for my back and shoulder comfort: saddle up, saddle forward, handlebars up etc, but now I find it perfect. I’m a 5 foot 7 woman with a 31 inch inside leg and I can now ride it comfortably for long periods.Thirdly, on the second time of using, I had the disconcerting noise coming from the flywheel that other reviewers have mentioned. I emailed the seller and I still have had no response two weeks later. However, the noise has now gone and I put it down to the bike settling in to actually being used. Nonetheless, I cannot say I’m impressed by the lack of a reply from the seller...Fourthly, I had a problem with one of the peddles clunking as it turned, but having read the reviews of other users I knew to tighten the nuts and doing so stopped the clunking immediately. In other words, I have been able to resolve all the teething issues easily.To sum up, in spite of what I’ve said above, I’m really pleased with the bike. It looks far better than the images suggest and it is definitely making a difference to my fitness. It’s quite sturdy and I can ride standing up and do “jumps” without a problem.I’m pleased I bought it.
