But the user interface isn’t quite as slick as Peloton, and the graphics and sound aren’t as good quality. There are multiple handle positions on the bars which are really comfortable, and the nice saddle makes this one of the most rideable bikes on test.It’s just as much an exercise in design as it is indoor cycling engineering, but if you have just won the lottery then the bike will also deliver a complete fitness experience too. Peloton has also boosted the surround sound with a quality soundbar so you can be screamed at (sorry, motivated by) the instructors with ear munching volume and clarity. I put each bike through its paces and tried a variety of indoor cycling classes and simulated outdoor rides as well as strength workouts (where relevant). Indoor cycling is low impact, but high intensity,” says Alana Murrin, Head of Ride at London’s Psycle studios. As for the tech specs – as I mentioned, you can tell that this is a top-of-the-range bike simply from how it feels.

The magnetic resistance is smooth and the eight levels are easily adjusted via a quick-grab dial located underneath the handlebars. In terms of cardio workouts it is hard to beat spin cycles and this indoor spin cycle will have you reaching for your sweatband pretty quickly. The more modest pricing of the Sport, compared to the other bikes in the echelon stable, means you will have to put the bike together yourself and also have access to a tablet, as the bike doesn’t have a built-in screen. If you choose not to settle in full by the end of the non-payment period, the amount of credit remaining will be spread across the remaining term of 42 months with interest charged at a representative APR of 19. For a start, it comes in customisable colours according to the room it’s headed for and it has really sleek, stylish lines that make it one of the most modern-looking bikes on sale, plus it helps that it has afairly modest footprint, that won’t totally take over the room it stands in.

The bike itself is of excellent quality with a racing saddle, padded handlebars and sturdy-feeling road bike frame. It’s a shame that you can’t see yourself covering more distance the faster you ride the bike, as the speed of the video is set, but that’s a very minor niggle. The frame of this Body Power spin bike is strong in terms of overall strength but also in terms of its character.

We then pedalled our way through every feature of every bike, testing in trainers rather than cycling cleats. It has 22 gears of electromagnetic resistance, more than enough for riders of every level of fitness and experience. Interval training involves short bursts of intense exercise spaced between longer intervals of less intense exercise. There’s a huge range of resistance for every type of rider and, as previously mentioned, it can auto adjust.Clear instructions meant that assembly took around 45 minutes and the bike immediately impressed from our very first ride with 100 magnetic resistance levels that were smooth and controlled from a centralised knob that was very responsive. The handlebars were comfortable and there were lots of options for hand placement to find a comfortable riding position. Its seating position also mimics that of a racing bike, rather than the upright ones you’d usually encounter in a gym. The magnetic flywheel is smooth, although it’s not particularly quiet, so the rest of the house may not thank you if you’re working out in the early AM. While the chunky, clunky indoor bikes of the 90s and noughties have been replaced by sleek spinning machines, finding the best exercise bike for you can still be tricky – as I discovered while testing the best for this piece.
