i tested other brands and even very expensive ones as well. finally ended on this due to few points. for beginers who dont want to spend a lot but still want to try, with this price its a good bet. best flywheel weight ration under this price. good adjustable resistance and adjustable seat. only one thing is buy yourself a good sadlle as the default is too bad if you are bit heavy.. easy to assemble and overall stable product. - ve - Saddle is light not good for bit healty person. chain makes sound but still breable .... Surprisinly got delivered within a day which is good and was nicely packed..
