JOROTOX2|X2PRO Exercise Bike, X4S Bluetooth Stationary Indoor Cycling Bike with Readable 100 Levels Magnetic Resistance, Plus 12.6 inch Tablet Bracket Exercise Bikes for Home

Pre-covid, I rode a Peloton bike at the gym every other day for a little over a year. I loved it and it made me love to workout, which I never really liked before. But, covid hit and my gym closed and I didn't want to pay that much money for a bike. After a very long period of no riding, I decided to buy the Cyclace bike. It was great in the very begginging and started making so many squealing sounds and I had to adjust things and grease things regularly and it would still be so loud. The sound was driving me and my family crazy. I eventually sent back that bike and bought this one. I haven't had it for long, but it is just a shockingly good bike. It is very close to the Peloton in smoothness of the belt, flywheel and resistance feel. I only have a couple of issues and they are small/or can't be helped in a bike at this price range. Here they are:Handlebars: I am 5'11" with long arms and normally wouldn't even notice if something was not maybe the best for a shorter person. But, I think it is noticeable on this bike. The handlebars are set in a way that if I have the seat in the place it us supposed to be for my leg height and seat placement where it should be for my thigh length, the handlebars are about a half an inch too far away (see pic...I have it set as close to the seat as posssible). It is not a huge deal to me, but someone with shorter arms may struggle a bit. The handlebars are also a bit wider set than they other two bikes I have used. But, it has these inner bars set at an angle that I really like to use when I am in the saddle. The other thing is that instead of an iPad holder on the handlebars, it has two drink holders. I use it for my iPad anyway, but had to use two small bungee cords to secure it in place so it wouldn't fall during the more intense rides.Resistance: the Cyclace bike had felt resistance pads and I really disliked that. It made a rubbing sound and I knew after I decided to send it back, I would get a bike with magnetic resistance. This bike has that and it is very smooth and can give you as heavy resistance as you could need (our of the saddle too). My only issue is that the resistance starts heavier than the other two bikes. Not too heavy, just I never would have that feeling of my legs just flailing. Which normally doesn't matter, but sometimes at the end of a cool down, I really like to open it up. But, it isn't a big deal. But, the bigger issue to me is how many cranks it takes to get from the lower resistance levels to the higher ones. It feels like the resistance doesn't change that much for several turns and then it heats up pretty quickly. This makes some intervals a little harder when you go out of the saddle with high resistance and then a quick seated recovery. But, I am getting used to it and I am wondering if the company may know of some little tweaks. I haven't reached out to them.All in all this is a really awesome bike. It is so quiet, so smooth and very sturdy. There is no sqeaking and squealing so far. I really hope it stays that way. Peloton is nearly perfect for me, but this bike is so close behind it. When you factor in the cost of both bikes, it is a no brainer to go this route, at least if you are a thrifty person like me.I am so happy with this purchase! The only thing that could make it better is a resistance output, but at this price range, you just wont find that. I use my heart rate to guide resistance.Some things that I use to make the spin experience of even better is:Peloton app (12.99 per month without the bike. Worth it!)Wahoo cadence tracker (it displays on the Peloton app and is so easy to attach to your pedal arm)Spd pedals and clip in shoes (to me it is a must after starting at first with regular shoes).Fitbit- I set it to spinning and use it to watch my heart rate. It really helps to guide how intense I set my resistance.I also use a TV tray next to the bike to hold my a small fan, my weights and my water. It works great and you can just tuck it away when your done (see pic).I also didn't purchase a mat and it works great on hard floors. I do keep a small rug next to it so when I get on a off, I don't scratch the floor with the clips. I leave my bike in the same place, so I don't know how easy it would be to move it around, but it has the wheels on the front.That is it. If you are on the fence, I would absolutely recommend it. If anything changes, I will update my review.

A bit of a long review but big for item of this size and price, more info is better than less. I cross shopped this with the Schwinn IC3 and some of the Sunny Health and Fitness models in the same price range. I previously purchased a Sunny model in the $300 that lasted for a little more than a year before the seat post broke at the seat bracket. I was concerned about buying a bike that I could not inspect in person to see if the materials were thicker, more robust after the failure of the Sunny. I'm leaving 5 stars for now but 4.5 is probably closer to the truth. The bike isn't perfect but I am mostly happy with my purchase. That opinion may change over time but these are some immediate impressions.Pros - price w/ delivery was about $580 w/ a coupon from Amazon. As is common with these types of bikes, there is not much assembly required so I think most folks can buy without expert assembly and be ok. The company provides an assembly video but I used the included tools and manual to put it together. Assembly was relatively easy but the bike has some weight to it so a second set of hands may help, especially when adding the base supports. Everything else slides/ screws into place fairly easily. I had my bike out of the box and assembled in about an hour. The bike is sturdy. Solidly built, especially the seat/ seat post assembly. I swapped out the included seat for a padded one so I can't speak to the comfort but the post is much thicker than the Sunny model I previously purchased. Pedaling was "whisper" quiet. I was surprised at how little noise the bike makes. The noise never bothered me much as I usually listen to music on my headphones but if it matters to you, this bike should not be a bother in that regard. The LCD display is big and bright, easy to read. The ride height and handle bars are adjustable and it was easy to find a comfortable set up.Cons - The handlebar assembly is a bit wobbly. That may just be due to the weight of that part of the bike. The tablet holder is a bit narrow. I'm confident it will hold a standard tablet, but not one in a chunky case. I like chunky cases.I've never ridden a Peleton or some of the other 1K+ bikes so I can't compare but the looks, quality, sturdiness, quietness and other qualities of the X4S made me comfortable with my purchase, especially in comparison to my experience with a bike that cost about half as much and some of the issues I had with it. I didn't try to connect the bike to any apps so I'm not sure about the bluetooth connectivity element. The bike looks good, rides quiet, and feels solid in the seat. I'm looking forward to spinning away!

I saw this bike in a Youtube review by a person who was also 5'0" tall like me. So I thought it would be a great fit for my petite frame, especially since it supposedly fits a 25" inseam. But it turns out that I still have trouble with the bike. Even when the seat is as far forward as it can possibly go, the handlebars are still a tad too far away from me (even when they're as close to the seat as they can possibly be). I tried to use the bike anyway, but after a few days I knew I couldn't keep the non-ergonomic position. So I watched a Youtube hack video and ended up ordering additional parts to make my own makeshift second set of handlebars. It looks janky. But it allows me to sit properly in the saddle.Other than that, I do like the bike. It's very well-made. The instructions are written in clear and comprehensible English. The company has videos to help with assembly, but I think videos made by regular users on Youtube are even more helpful in showing the process clearly. I was able to put it together all by myself, though there was a step where I had to prop it up against a wall since I didn't have a second pair of hands to help me assemble.The bike rides very smoothly once assembled. It's quiet, and the magnetic flywheel functions well. The only drawbacks are that (1) the resistance knob isn't that great because all you can do is turn it one way or the other, without having any objective sense of what level you're at with each turn; (2) the battery-operated fitness monitor is very rudimentary and not that helpful; and (3) I don't find the emergency hand brake to be all that great. But those things aside, it's a great bike at a great price.
