I have had this for 2 months now in the box. I didnt assemble cause I was exhausted still from the elliptical I last assmebled.
The purchase price was 146. shipping from amazon was fast. of course the box
looked as if it had been opened and repackaged.
all parts were in there. there was no instruction manual and it took me 15 minutes online to actually find one.
assembly is fairly straightforward but the manual should be clearer. the diagrams are awful and some parts should have been easy but were confusing.
this took me 3 hours to assemble. but I think two people can set it up in 45 minutes. it just needs 3 hands to do it right.
the included tools are subpar but anyone with the right sized wrench can do it right.
the most confusing part was the cable end and spring hook. that is why many people had no tension working….
1. take the skinny metal part of cable and worm it into the hook (the bottom one).
2. then extend it upwards and pull on it until the upper metal part aligns properly and with a little finagling u should be set.
also make sure you have the all three cables and extensions hooked up. it took me 20 minutes to snake all three through the upright tube. pay attention to which end attaches to which end or you will repeat again and again.
finally when all was said and done, it was good to go and worked properly from the get go. the pulse sensor is super quick and fastet to pick up then higher end equipment.
I would have given it a 4 or 5 for price but I took off points for packaging, absence of a manual, and poor instructions.
I think the build is solid and this thing will last.

Pros_=
After going through two expensive magnetic track bikes (one over $400) and having the drive fail each time, I figured it was time to go with a simple old tried-and-true tension control drive.
-The number one plus for me is that the bike is perfectly constructed so that my knees are never at risk of scratching the console or handle bars. I’m only 5’11″ and I’ve had embarrassing accidents scraping the skin off my knee during an intense workout.
-Took a bit to assemble but it feels sturdy, the seat is OK
-It offers an even tension that goes as high as I’d ever like.
-Doesn’t take up too much space in my living room
-Calorimeter is accurate
Cons_=
-Assembly is a hassle but you only need to do it once
-Except in my case where I had to detach the front pole the tension control connects through so I could properly assemble it with the tension cord stretched over the top of the metal piece (otherwise there is no tension as others have experienced apparently)
-The instructions neglect to mention the latter and also had a misprint about the screws
-Hopefully the pre-fixed seat positions fit you as perfectly as they fit me. (I guess you could always drill a new hole)
-Seat isn’t uncomfortable, but it’s no lounge chair seat, feels like it’ll last long though.

I really like it. It rides very smooth and I appreciate all the bells and whistles. Only negative is that it isn’t easy to adjust for riders of different sizes. It takes a little effort.

I bought the bike and it worked for about 3 weeks. I never could get the tension controls to work. Then the pedals fell off. I tried reattaching them but they would not stay on the bike longer than a few minutes. I contacted the manufacturer and was told they had no replacement parts available. So, I called Amazon and they sent a replacement. The replacement worked for 1 week before the exact same problem happened. Amazon is taking that one back too, but the product seems to have issues.
Maybe others have had better luck, but I wanted to share my experience in the hopes that you don’t have to go thru what I have.
UPDATE: After I returned bike #2, I bought the “Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike” and it works great. It is about $100 more expensive, but it is well worth it.
I noticed that the price on this ironman now is much lower then when I originally purchased it – which speaks volumes about the product as well. You get what you pay for.

This bike is well worth the money. I have ridden much more expensive exercise bikes that don’t ride as smoothly. The manual tension control is precise and gives low to very high impact, and ensures that the bike will still work if the computer dies. The pulse feature is nice and accurate. There were no assembly instructions, but assembly is fairly straightforward. It has a very solid construction; I see it lasting a very long time.
