Marcy Stationary Exercise Indoor Bicycle with 8 Magnetic Resistance Levels

This review is to highlight the difference in this Marcy upright vs many of the other Marcy bikes available. I had an older Marcy bike that was lost in a fire (ordered from amazon) and when i went to the original product page, i was directed to the "newer model available" option. So i ordered it but it was NOT a newer model of my old Marcy upright. It was significantly different and poorer in quality. I searched around more and found this Marcy upright instead. What i like about it (and what's different from most of the other Marcy uprights currently available): the handlebars ARE adjustable. i repeat, the handlebars ARE adjustable. I don't think they're supposed to be but it's easy enough to flip them around so they can point up or down and the bars themselves can be set at any level. I currently have mine tightened just enough to hold them in place but loose enough that i can ratchet them up or down if i want to. I like to change postures as i pedal and adjustable handlebars allows me to do that. The other main difference from the "newer model available" Marcy to this Marcy is that this Marcy has long base/floor bars in front and back. The newer model one, and several others, have either two short bars or one long and one short bar. I am 130 lbs and i didn't feel stable on the one with a short bar in front and a long bar in back. This Marcy upright has long bars front and back and I don't rock from side to side as I pedal! Could the seat be better? yes. my old one was awful but i just used one or two blankets as padding. I'm sure this one will be the same. It's a basic bike. there's not many frills but it does what i want at a good price, the handlebars DO adjust and the bike is stable compared to other Marcy models. Please note: the bike i received matches the stock picture except that the white area shown in the picture is light grey on my actual bike.

I assembled this product by myself despite the instructions suggesting two people tackle it. I kept the original box and used it to prop up some parts of the bike during assembly which was not overly difficult even by myself. I'm 71" tall and have a 32" inseam; and even with the seat-post extended to its maximum safe length, there is a noticeable bend in my knee when the pedal is in the lowest part of its revolution. While I do not find this to be particularly undesirable, I prefer a more extended reach with my legs while exercising. The best part of this machine is the magnetic resistance feature which isn't overly difficult even on the highest setting, yet still provides consistent and smooth resistance. The machine does not require electrical power to operate (except for the monitor which requires batteries), and the magnetic resistance mechanism when in operation is nearly silent. The bike itself does not take up much floor space and can be used even if tucked into a corner of a room. I bought this exercise machine to replace an older elliptical-trainer which required electrical power, took up twice as much space and was loud while in operation. Overall, I really like the function and performance of this exercise bike. Well worth the money when purchased by those with appropriate height and leg-length.

Great performance and easy to install.

this is by far the best bike for the price anywhere. I have been using this bike for about a year now and it is wonderful. the only problem is you need a extra padded seat cushion and the tension even all the way up is not very hard to pedal-more of a long cruiser exercise bike.

Easy to set up; takes up minimal space; easy to slide to another location. Retention knob works well in making it harder to pedal although it is a bit choppy at times and not always a smooth motion. Adjustable seat and handlebars are great. Great value for the price!

I use this cycle about 5 times a week for about 1 hour each. The ride is quiet and comfortable. I will look into getting a cushion for the seat to make it more comfortable since I am on it a lot. Highly recommend.

We have ordered this product and returned it and received it a second time and both times it’s always missing a piece. It’s getting ridiculous because it’s the same missing piece every time . It’s always missing a back leg. Never ordering this again

The Marcy Upright Exercise Bike turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be. I was looking for something that felt like my regular bike to use in the winter weather. I had one with a big fan in front that was noisy and blew cold air on me. I wanted a exercise bike where the peddles were directly below like my bike instead of out front. The Marcy is so quiet while watching TV or listening to music. The reviews I read before ordering seem to have a lot of complaints about the seat being uncomfortable. I imagine those came from non-bicycle riders. For those I recommend buying padded cycling shorts. I found doing step 2 first before #1 allowed me to attach post while the Main Frame was on it's side. Then I attached the Stabilizers. I had to loosen the nut at the bottom of the Lower Tension Cable (20), and then re-tighten once the Upper Tension Cable (19) was slid in place.

La bicicleta es muy durable es incluso se podría decir que es para uso rudo (no para spinning). El ensamblado es algo complicado de armar, aunque contiene pocas piezas en la caja. Recomendado comprar una funda acolchada para la silla o unos culotte sino solo podrán usarla por 10 minutos a lo mucho sin que se te empiece a dormir la entrepierna.

It did come fast as a prime member. The bicycle is of good quality, it was easy to assemble and is working very good. The durability and longevity is remain to see, I believe if you take good care should last very long.

Not able to fit. Please send the replacement or return this

I took a chance on this bike as it has mixed reviews. I was pleasantly surprised as it's a good workout. It's quiet and smooth to pedal. Everything fit together well during assembly, all the parts were there and working. I added a seat cushion for extra comfort as suggested. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. The bike seems a little bit smaller than a bike at the gym. I'm 5' 7 and I'm using the seat at full hight. I'm not sure it's for someone taller than myself.

La regrese por tener los cables rotos y los conectores aplastados, difícil de armar y uno de los pedales no fue posible ponerlo.
