Like all spin bikes the IC400 Pro is not foldable, so it will need a permanent place to sit in your home gym or spare room. Moreover, you must be sure to assemble the bike correctly by using the instructions that are provided. This home exercise bike has stunning looks, and a size / quality that would be worthy of any commercial studio.

This simply adjusts the distance between the magnet and the wheel, meaning you are not limited to a set number of resistance levels – you are in complete control of how little or how much you increase or decrease the resistance. Please note that these cases are outside our control so keep this in mind when making you purchase online. This lets you stand and sprint or take a lower profile for a serious hill climb (and lots of options between). But what stands out above all else is the quality of ride you will enjoy – it really is smooth and the inertia flywheel means you will feel like you are riding a real cycle, but without the bumps in the road.The saddle is replaceable and made in line with standard road bikes, which is a real bonus if you have a specific type of saddle you wish to use. the flywheel does not stop instantly when you press the "stop" button - need to be careful as pedals still spin. So in short I have a spin bike with decent computer, a Wahoo cadence sensor (accurate), a wahoo speed sensor mounted on my flywheel (way off), and contemplating to get a heart rate sensor or powercalc.

I was a little concerned whether the bike would be big enough ( I am 6ft 2” ) but other people had commented that it would be ok. You can adjust the height of the saddle, how far back the seat goes and the height of the handlebar unit. But, as it’s the upgraded model of IC300, it has a better-built quality which results in better performance. Made of stainless steel and weighing in around 60kg it definitely appears to be bomb proof if used correctly and normally.

The brand produces some of the best indoor exercise bikes that are well-known for performance and quality. When I went to fit the second pedal I noticed that the thread in the crank looked slightly damaged and when I tried to fit the pedal the thread picked up and the pedal couldn’t be fitted. You also have very little space to maneuvre because of the resistance device sitting on top of the flywheel. With stainless steel construction, you get a strong, sturdy frame designed with high intensity workouts in mind.
