Sole Fitness Sb700 Indoor Cycle

Choosing exercise bikes comes down to matching the equipment to how hard it will actually be worked. The Sole Fitness Sb700 Indoor Cycle, from Sole Fitness, is aimed at people who want something that holds up.

Stripped of marketing language: this is a exercise bike for people who train consistently. Where a measurement matters to you, ask us and we will confirm it before you order.

Who this is for

It works best for spin studios and group classes, and low-impact cardio in a small footprint. Outside that, there may be a better match in the range — ask us.

Installation and space

Confirm the footprint and leave room to mount and dismount either side. Spin bikes need less space than most cardio equipment, which is part of their appeal.

What to consider

Check the adjustment range on saddle and bars. A bike that fits several riders is worth more in a shared space.

Against the other 61 exercise bikes we stock, this sits in the middle at R19 086 — the range runs R3 354 to R110 618, so there is room to move either way if the fit is not right.

Saddle comfort is the most common complaint and the easiest thing to change — most bikes take a standard post.

On how much cardio is actually worth aiming for each week, the World Health Organization physical activity guidelines are a sensible, independent starting point.

The specifics

• Brand: Sole Fitness
• Category: Spinning Bikes & Cycles
• SKU: SB700
• Condition: new unless the listing states otherwise

If you are planning a full setup, Cardio, Spinning Bikes & Cycles, Rowing Machines and Gym Flooring are the sections that usually go with this.

Commercial and home equipment differ mainly in duty cycle — how many hours a day the frame, bearings and upholstery are designed to take. Equipment built for occasional use will usually survive a home routine comfortably but will not last on a busy floor, and the difference shows in the parts you cannot see rather than the finish.

If you want the Sole Fitness Sb700 Indoor Cycle checked against your setup before you commit, get in touch. We would rather spend five minutes on measurements than arrange a return.
