Gym exercise bike recommendations

[Sameel]

Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend a good gym exercise bike that they might have used before or are currently using.
I have a treadmill, but it's boring now and want to switch it up.
There's so many Chinese ones on Takealot etc.
The ones I tried at Makro are a bit flimsy.

Thanks all.

treadmill, stationery bike. They all get boring after a while.

I have trojan pro-x 460 - bought 5+ years ago. It is decent.

If you’re on a budget and are not going full swift/wahoo then check the second hand market for one of these + a bike.
Moo fit sensors if you want to track speed and cadence.
Have used this setup for many years and prefer it to anything Makro sells.

Depends on your budget I woould rather buy a wahoo kickr 2nd hand and a cheap road bike, the apps make it much easier than a cheap excercise bike.

I've had one of the entry level Reebok ones for many years and it's still going. Quite sturdy.

Takes up quite a bit of space but if you're coming from a treadmill then it's probably not something new except that you can't just fold it up and stow it flat.

This, otherwise a 'smart' trainer and Zwift will keep you entertained but for a much heavier cost.

wahoo kickr + cheap bike is the way to go

Have you run out of hanger space on the treadmill?
