The U616 upright exercise bike has a high speed, high inertia drive system and a perimeter weighted flywheel. This gives you an easy startup when you first start pedalling and smooth consistent workouts.

This bike is very easy to assemble; it took one person in our testing team under an hour to set it up, and it comes with all the tools required. It has a built-in fan and the seat is wider than other bikes, and although it wasn’t the most comfortable seat of the bikes we tested, it is well padded and supportive. The pedals are wide and sturdy, with adjustable straps and good grip, to keep your feet in place.

There are heart rate sensors on the lower portions of the handles, but if you prefer to hold the handles higher up, the bike is also enabled for telemetry.
