I was also impressed with the number of adjustability features that are included with the JLL IC400 Pro indoor bike as it leads to advanced cycling performance. For those who like to use their arms as a resting support when standing can, thanks to the curved central supporting second bar. FYI, Zwift does not have HR based training plans so you would have to come up with your own zones and training plan. Having tested it’s younger sibling the IC300, we already had a rough idea of what to expect – you can find out right here in our full JLL IC400 Pro review. Users have also been liking how the belt system requires minimal maintenance compared to chain-driven bikes.

Sturdy bike and relatively quiet to begin with apart from a swishing sound as l pedalled, however after a few sessions it started to make a loud clanking noise when pedalling like something had come loose in the internal mechanism. This home exercise bike has stunning looks, and a size / quality that would be worthy of any commercial studio.This bike is fully equipped with the latest cycling technology to keep your performance at optimum levels. I then decided that I should keep the bike and didn’t need the replacement so I phoned JLL and cancelled the replacement. Users found that this made the indoor bike feel more like a regular bike which enhanced their experience.

I was a little disappointed with how users had discussed a lack of durability in regards to the pedals. This lets you stand and sprint or take a lower profile for a serious hill climb (and lots of options between). Like all upright cycles, it is not foldable and that means you get one of the safest and sturdiest rides possible.

One thing to note is that as this is a spin bike you cannot freewheel the bike / pedals so you need to keep pedaling all the time (but you ARE working out after all). To simulate the forward momentum of a regular outdoor bike, the JLLIC300 Pro comes with a smooth spinning 20kg flywheel. Luckily, the floor space required is not huge when compared to other forms of home cardio such as treadmills, and there are also handy transport wheels that make moving the 53kg bike from one place to another much easier. While I was waiting for the new base unit I borrowed a thread tap to see if the damaged thread would recut which it did so the pedal would fit ok. One of the best benefits of using a spin bike like this is that you can exercise at home whenever you want, no matter the weather outside.

If we were to compare, there are actually not many differences between them in terms of performance.

The good news is that this bike doesn’t take up much room, at least not compared to other exercise equipment. We tested the IC400 Pro with users who were 5’3″ and 6’2″, and both were able to find perfectly comfortable positions with room for more variance either way, which makes this model one of the most adaptable for a range of users.

It takes some putting together as it comes in two boxes and two people doing this is better than one. Introductions are limited to motor finance, CarMoney Limited will pay us a fixed commission per paid out deal. The heavy flywheel spins more smoothly for a longer period of time and makes the bike feel more solid.For those looking for high intensity workouts though, it is hard to beat the IC400 Pro and when combining it with a heart rate strap and a third party app – it is hard to beat.
