This exercise bike has 2 elements which are designed to closely mimic real cycling. The first is a 3 piece crank system, and the second a chain – which leads to the 10kg flywheel. This gives you comfortable peddling, and also ensures that the resistance stays smooth and reliable. For comparison, the JLL IC300 has an 18kg flywheel (though to be fair, most regular users will not notice much difference at the lower to mid resistance levels).

Indoor exercise bikes can be an incredibly convenient and easy way to commit to a workout routine. You’re able to save time and money on travelling to the gym and paying for memberships or a spin class. You also have the added benefit of working out at any time. Setting up both of the bikes is extremely easy. They come with equally clear and specific guidelines that are easy to follow. Assembling the bikes is quite intuitive and you’ll find almost no trouble assembling it.

Our JLL IC300 Pro review takes a look at this classy offering from UK based JLL Fitness and delivers an honest verdict. affect the condition and overall lifespan of your item, please read your manual for more information. JLL Fitness has fitted a crank system to this exercise bike that comes with a 3-piece design. This system is remarkably sturdy and durable which means that it can last the bike for years. Not to mention, the crank system ensures that you can ride smoothly. It has a maximum user weight of 130kg, which is comparatively high as a lot of spin bikes are quite flimsy with a maximum user weight of 100kg. However, if you weigh more than 130kg, you should consider another bike.

The maximum user weight is 130kg (just over 20 stone), which is quite a bit more than a lot of its competition, as the standard tends to be around 100kg. If you are near the maximum recommended weight, though, you should probably look at a different bike – and for those around the top weight limit then spinning on a bike such as this is ideal as it has so little impact on your joints.

Coupled with the toe-clips, you really feel fully in control of your pedalling – you can really focus on the workout without having to worry about slipping out. Note the curves on the rear stabilising bar. This gives a wider footprint to the bike, keeping it firmly in place – even for sprints. You can adjust both the saddle position and height. The front unit with the handlebars and console can also be adjusted. Straining, even slightly, when you’re going full pelt during a workout is not just uncomfortable, it can also cause injuries, so having so many settings to get yourself completely sorted is incredibly reassuring.

Measuring 131cm x 51cm x 112 cm, it is a slightly bigger bike than some of the other spin bikes in this price range – while taking up slightly more ‘real estate’, this does mean that it can accommodate slightly taller users than some of the competitors’ models.
