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

This review is for the Joroto X4SI’ve never put a bike together myself - outdoor or indoor, and found the setup much easier than expected. Think I probably struggled more with just getting everything out of the box with all of the plastic wrapping, tape, and styrofoam inside, but at least it was well protected during shipping.The Bluetooth functionality DOES work with Apple Watch. Just need to go into the Bluetooth setting on your watch and select it under the health accessories (after powering on the screen of the bike). Also tested with a trial of Apple Fitness+ and could see my RPMs on screen, so I knew it was synced up. Seems like a perfect alternative to Peloton, which is exactly what I wanted. Also works with a bunch of other apps - the manual recommends Kinomap, but I haven’t played around with that much yet.The ride itself is very smooth and quiet. Nothing felt loose, wobbly, squeaky, or poorly constructed. Really heavy duty stuff. I do wish the phone holder/water bottle holder was a bit bigger. Worked fine with my phone but not sure if it’d be enough to support a bigger tablet (it probably is though - the device holder part is a very grippy rubber). The screen on it is backlit which is nice if you plan on only using that. The seat…isn’t great. It’s very hard, kind of awkwardly small, and is definitely a pain to sit on. I’ll probably look for a replacement or cover asap.My first session with it definitely reminded me how out of shape I am, but it’s good to know that I can get a good workout on it. I’ve been missing cycling since I moved to a more hilly part of town. Very much looking forward to getting back into the shape I was in when I used to bike to the office (about a 20min total combined commute time).

This is a very sturdy bike. It's the first one I've ever owned so I don't have anything to compare it to except bikes at the gym.It's very heavy in its compact package, but in the end that heaviness leads to a more stable riding experience so it was worth the effort getting it downstairs.I had read in another review that one could get another information display that also included cadence (which the original does not) and unless they now include the X1S display in their latest deliveries I'd ask for that one. If you email them they send it for free. (and it looks nicer too).Which leads me to say this is some of the best customer service I've had. When the bike came one of the plastic sleeves that held the handlebar post was cracked a bit (not really a problem functionally but it's nice to have everything look good), so I emailed and they sent me 2 new ones of different lengths. Easy to replace. I also mentioned to them I thought the initial resistance was a bit too strong for me and could that be adjusted. They send me videos on how to do that. So far I've been using it daily for maybe a month and really look forward to it.The seat is actually reasonably comfortable. My rear end was not worked in well at the start and I got an extra gel seat cover but that actually made it worse. The seat that comes with it is just fine on its own it appears.I am one who sits mostly upright when riding so the handlebar set up, they way they recommend, made the bars too far away, but luckily, the way it was designed, I could reverse the orientation of the support bar and bring the handlebars closer to the seat. I recommended to them they investigate a design which would increase the range of movement in the bars to accommodate people like me. But it's working just fine as I set it up.I do wish the seat and handlebars posts were a bit more lengthy but it works okay as is. (I'm 5-10).I also wish the part of the bars that holds the water bottles and also an ipad, had a more safe way to keep the ipad in place. There are 2 triangular protrusions the extend upwards to catch the bottom of the ipad but they are just barely longer that the ipad is thick so I am constantly worried that when I touch the ipad it will slide off and crash to the ground. I'm thinking of trying to make a DYI extension for more security there.The pedals seem fine now. I had a little sense of glitch in the left pedal but it seems to have gone away permanently so who knows. The company offered to help me with that whatever I found.This is a very sturdy and quiet bike, and for the price I really think I got my monies worth.

I have been attending spin classes at the gym for about 8 years, so I've been spoiled riding $2000 commercial grade bikes like the Keiser M3. I wasn't sure what to expect for $400, but this is a very nice bike. It's built like a tank, very solid. It's easy to adjust the seat to find a comfortable position, the flywheel is pretty smooth and quiet, and there are places for my phone and water bottle on the handlebars.It wasn't too hard to assemble, I did it by myself in about 45 minutes. I have SPD shoes, so I immediately replaced the pedals that came with the bike - but these pedals are pretty standard for this price range.There are really only two things I miss about the high-end bikes at the gym, compared to this one:* On some high end bikes, the resistance is controlled with a simple lever, and you can see the numeric resistance level on the display - on this bike you have a knob to crank, and it takes quite a few cranks to go from very light to very heavy resistance. But again, I think all bikes in this price range are designed this way.* The display computer is ok - but I would prefer RPMs instead of MPH, wish it had a backlight if I darken the room, and I wish it showed a numeric resistance level. This is one area they could improve without significantly increasing the cost.All that said, I am still enjoying the bike - I can get a great smooth, comfortable, fun fitness ride at home, in and out of the saddle. Customer service is friendly and responsive too, I sent them these suggestions for improvement and they extended my warranty to 18 months.
