JOROTO X2 Exercise Bike for Home Use - 136kg Weight Capacity & Magnetic Resistance &16kg Flywheel & Belt Drive Indoor Cycling Bike

After checking out reviews and product specs on several spin bikes I made the decision to go with the Joroto X2. The Amazon delivery was excellent from order to front door took just two days. Assembly took less than one hour using the tools provided. The quality of the parts feels solid and when assembled looks the part. The seat which is well padded and the handlebars with 2 x cup holders and up to 10” tablet bracket are fully adjustable and easy to set to individual rider requirements. The large gear knob is positioned in a good spot and is well made. The magnetic resistance magnet system and the large flywheel allows for very quiet use. Gear changes will take a little time to learn as there is no direct gear change mechanism just a threaded spindle style adjustment system that opens and closes the magnet bar. I’ve owned the bike for a month now and after an average of about ten hours hard spinning per week (40hrs in total) I have no complaints. Other features include a basic electronic on-board trip monitor giving time, speed, distance and calories burnt. There are also four adjustable feet and two transportation feet located on the ground supports.I’ve added some additions including a Wahoo cadence (rpm) sensor which works well with it’s app. I’ve also replaced the standard pedals with a set of Joroto SPD 9/16” Pedals purchased direct from Joroto. The standard SPD cleat brackets are adjustable using a 3mm allen key. These pedals also come with the shoe cage which I’ve left the cages on so family and friends can also make use of the bike with standard sports shoes. Please note, these pedals are at present unfortunately not yet available through Amazon UK but are available via Amazon USA) see the link below. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YR2HH4T).Joroto’s support help desk was excellent with its email communication regarding the pedal purchase. I’ve started using them with a pair of bike shoes and they work well.Oh I also added a floor mat and yes I’ve definitely started sweating a lot. No Pain No gain. If it hurts it works.I would recommend the Joroto X2 Spin Bike to anyone with a £500 budget.Update: I've now owned the X2 for four months and it's time to add to my initial review. The bike is still performing well after many hours of hard exercise. I ended up changing the Joroto pedals to a set of Shimano PD-M520 as the Joroto pedals didn't pass the longevity test. After speaking with Joroto, they reimbursed me for the pedals which was good of them.Added another sensor. The moofit Speed sensor which has been fitted to the flywheel. You’ll find clips on YouTube to help with the setting up of this as the sensor requires some fine adjustment to get the speed computation correct.I'd like to mention Joroto's customer service. It's been the best I've come across for a long time. I had an issue with the drive belt which was starting to show signs of damage due to the pinch roller being slightly out of alignment, I requested a replacement belt as the bike was still within warranty and Joroto's support was second to none. I was happily and very surprised when they said they would be dispatching a replacement brand new bike and true to their word a new bike arrived within days. A big thank you to Joroto.Update 21.06.23After two years of regular use this bike has proved to be worth every penny. No issues or faults.Update 03.07.24Another year in and the Joroto X2 hasn't shown any signs of wear and tear. Still use on a regular basis and still very happy with the purchase.

Fast delivery of an excellent, well made product. Very solid, stable and sturdy. Packaging is fully protective of the bike and it comes complete with good instructions and all the tools required for the straightforward assembly. Handlebars and seat can be adjusted rapidly for height and reach of each person using it with easily read numbers to aide simple repositioning later for your own settings. The magnetic resistance is easily applied by rotating a palm-sized knob that is well positioned for adjustment whilst riding the bike, however, there is no way to easily determine the minimum and maximum settings. As described, this bike is virtually silent when being ridden. It looks great and has a sturdiness that offers the rider full confidence in its quality. Moving it around is straightforward as the bike is beautifully balanced on the two transportation wheels. The supplied electronic monitor has limited functionality but offers some useful statistics like time, distance etc. Very well worth the fee paid and fully recommended to anyone looking for a good quality product that more than lives up to its description.

Quiet to ride, handle bars a little tricky to reach but I’m quite short. Looks nice and feels sturdy.

This is a great, sturdy, exercise bike at a really good price. Noise is almost non-existent due to the magnetic wheel and the whole bike is incredibly stable. The adjustments possible will enable most people to find the most comfortable riding position. Adjustment is quick and easy for when more than one person use the bike.The monitor had a minor fault (not registering Speed), but was replaced by Joroto ( I contacted them directly) within 48 hours. Excellent service!

It does exactly what is says on the tin. Fairly easy to assemble. Have no big issues with the bike for 2+ years I've owed it.Just the interface is nothing premium like a peloton but then again you're not paying for that.I noticed the timer on the bike is out of sync after 30 mins of riding; out of sync by a minute, give or take. If you're timing yourself, I suggest use a smartwatch or your phone.
