JOROTO X2|X2PRO Exercise Bike, X4S Bluetooth Stationary Indoor Cycling Bike with Readable 100 Levels Magnetic Resistance, Plus 12.6 inch Tablet Bracket Exercise Bikes for Home

I have been road biking for over 20 years and decided recently to buy my first indoor bicycle as I have always ridden less in the winter months where I live (Massachusetts) and wanted to compensate for that. Also, I have more free time as my work moved fully remote due to COVID and so my commuting time has been eliminated.First off, the bike is rather simple to assemble. I watched the video on this page from Joroto that walked me through the steps and I had everything put together pretty quickly. Like with all items you will use often, please keep the tools nearby as you will need to tighten pieces such as the pedals and the seat now and then.This is a very well-made and heavy bike, but the wheels on the front bottom of the stand make it rather easy to move around your home, so long as you have a flat foor. Now, should you need to move it up a flight of stairs, that'll be more difficult as it weighs over 100 pounds. To note, the flywheel itself is a solid 35 pounds.This is a belt drive machine with magnetic resistance, so there's less need for maintenance, and you get a very quiet ride. I can easily watch a video, listen to music or carry on a conversation without having to raise any volumes above what I'd use when not on the bike. No complaints from anyone downstairs from me either!There is a large knob located on the frame that faces you when you ride that you can use to adjust the bike's resistance via a series of magnets that are controlled by it. The knob is easy to turn. It doesn't have any markings on it to tell you your resistance level as you can spin it fully several times to obtain what you want. You could always start off at the lowest resistance when you first begin to ride and keep track of how many times you spin the knob, if you want to try and measure where you are. If not, then just spin it until you get the resistance you want.The seat is pretty comfortable and can be adjusted quickly to ten different heights, which is great as three of us in my family of varying heights have been riding the bike. I see a lot of taller people asking whether bikes will accommodate their height. I am 6'2" (188cm) and have a 34" (86cm) inseam and have no problem at all fitting on this machine.The handlebars have seven different heights and can also be moved left or right for your convenience. There are two water bottle holders between the handlebars and I put my water bottle in one and my smartphone in the other one. If you leave the water bottle holders empty, then you can lay down a tablet or an opened laptop in front of you over the same space. With the design, you can't have a tablet and water bottle at the same time, so if that's important to you then either position your bike next to somewhere you can grab a bottle easily, or add a water bottle holder to the frame for $10-15.The pedals are very well-made and come with an adjustable toe cage. These are not clip pedals, but you can buy and swap out your own pedals as they come with the standard 9/16" thread. I use flat biking shoes that I've had for a while and don't feel the need for anything else. I definitely get a good workout on this bike.The customer service from Joroto is amazing. There is a nice one year warranty on the parts, and a 30 day return policy. I had a situation come up where I bought the bike here and then two days later the price was reduced - and just after my bike shipped out. I was thinking I'd have to reject delivery of this 100+ pound behemoth, or possibly haul it myself to the local UPS store, cancel the original order, buy a new one (which is what Amazon advised me to do), but when I reached out to Joroto their service was responsive and they had me wait for the bike, inform them it was all in proper order, and then they sent me the difference in price. Excellent!The one item I cannot praise is the monitor, which is a rather basic model to begin with, but I didn't buy this bike for it anyway. The monitor is a nice addition to have as it is there to keep track of your time in motion, your speed, your virtual distance "traveled", and your calories burned. Perhaps there is an issue just in my monitor, or in all of them, but it's just not accurate. First off, I felt on my second day using the bike that the time was a little fast. I then compared the bike's clock to several timepieces in my home and found that it is indeed fast, in that it clocks a minute every 58 seconds. So if you are on the bike for what appears to be 30 minutes, in reality you have only been riding for 29 minutes. It's probably not going to destroy your workouts, but it's something to consider. As for the other measurements, I was riding at a steady speed of 10 mph (according to the monitor), and yet after 6 minutes (or maybe I should say, after 5 minutes and 48 seconds) I was shown to have traveled only .47 miles when I should have traveled 1 mile with that speed, so the measurements don't tie out.While the monitor is not up to snuff, I'm not going to dock the product a star, as the construction of the bike and the ride you get for this price are well worth it, not to mention the very responsive customer service from Joroto - should you ever need it.If you're really interested in the metrics that are to be tracked by the monitor then you can look into supplemental products, which are often able to be integrated via bluetooth to your phone or tablet. Purchasing this quality bike and then adding on some supplemental products still leaves you well below the price of the bikes that have all of these components included.All in all, a purchase I am very happy with. For what you get this is a bargain, and in my case, my whole family is using it. Highly recommended!

You can add me to the list of satisfied customers. The X4S is an amazing trainer. Excellent build quality. It's durability is evident and I have no doubt it will last. I looked at other bikes but in the end chose the Joroto. Assembly is straight forward and takes under an hour.Worth noting. The computer pairs with Kinomap and other workout applications. It does this with Bluetooth, but you do not connect the bike to the Bluetooth on your mobile device. You pair it directly with the workout app. Why is this important? It allows you to use the bike with an app and pair your mobile device to an external sound system or wireless earpods. Initially this was confusing but I contacted support for clarification. This brings up the next positive about Joroto. Support is excellent and responsive. I sent an email and had a reply in less than 24 hours. I got an answer to my question and a link to a helpful video. Often times, after sales support is what defines a company. I'm glad I chose this bike. There is no reason to buy a peloton at 4x the price. The X4S is every bit as smooth and quiet. The bike is so quiet that you could use it in a bedroom without disturbing your partner. The first time I rode it I was amazed. It's highly adjustable. Other family members can make adjustments and be ready to ride in a minute or two. It's perfect for people with busy lives. No trips to the gym. Having it at home is super convenient. It's ready when you are. It offers magnetic resistance for all skill and endurance levels. It includes pedals with toe cages but I'll probably swap those for clipless. We all appreciate buying something that does what it says it's going to do. This bike lives up to those expectations. If you're considering this bike, buy it.

The media could not be loaded. This bike has seriously gotten me to work out way more than I ever expected. I was originally thinking about getting a Peloton, but decided to give this one a try—and I’m so glad I did! There are tons of awesome cycling videos on YouTube, so I just pop my phone on the cup holder and ride like the wind (or at least like a slightly tired parent trying their best).It gives me a great workout, right from home, and it’s actually fun! The only con was that one of the foot holders popped off on one side, but other than that, I’ve really liked it—especially for the price. Solid choice if you want to get moving without breaking the bank!
