Our Rating

Rating: 90.5/100. Top-rated upright exercise bike regarded for being lightweight, durable and easy-to-use. Exercise bike weights slightly heavier than compact designs, but has a number of enticing features that are difficult to pass up if you do not plan to move the trainer around frequently.

The SOLE B94 is a bike with variety and packing a punch of features. While this bike may appear bigger than other models without consoles, it only weighs 123lbs and can host riders up to 300lbs. The B94 is a great bike for riders who are looking for various workout options on a machine similar to that you would find in an elite gym. It is affordable, comfortable and easy to navigate.

This model is packed with options in the 9” LCD display including iPod dock and speakers, a cooling fan, 10 different workouts and 20 different levels of resistance. The display tells riders their heart rate monitored through the front of the handlebars, calories, levels, distance, bpm and pace. The console includes workout options you would find on a gym bike such as fat burn, cardio, resistance, etc. It allows for 2 users and is easy to navigate. The speakers on the console are clear and reach a fairly loud volume but the unit also includes the option to use headphones alternatively. Need a place to rest your phone, keys, remote or water? This display includes one at the front, though may be awkward for different water bottles depending on shape and size. Lastly, the display has an edge to hold a magazine or book if you’d rather not focus on the numbers on the display.

The seat and set up for this bike are not comparable to a road bike but provide a comfortable cushioned seat that is adjustable in height and distance from the handlebars. Road cyclists may find the seat too large but could be removed or changed easily. The pedals are plastic with adjustable straps to accommodate various foot sizes but do not offer the option for SPD clip-in. The handlebars are not adjustable so users must always ride upright rather than having the option of a more aerodynamic position.

The B94 must be plugged in to adjust resistance and enjoy the benefits of the various workouts on the display. While this bike is bulkier, it is a great option for personal use and riders looking for a gym-style machine to use in their own home. Overall, this bike has great features and does the trick for riders who like options and variety.

Pros:

Heavy duty 20 lb. flywheel drive system
20 different levels of resistance
Comfortable, adjustable gel seat
Innovative 2 degree inversion pedals
Large 9″ LCD display system
Music friendly (smartphone dock, built-in speakers)

Cons:

Not compatible with iFit Live
Pre-defined workout selection (10) adequate yet not overly impressive
