Pros & Cons
Pros
If the sensor or display break, the bike is still totally usable. It's not that noisy at all. The first one we bought is significantly different and it can be noisy, but it's mainly due to the plastic rubbing against the metal.
Highlights
Quality
Having read other reviews i worried about the noise but am totally satisfied with the minimal noise from the 490
For the price point alone you cannot go wrong with the 490 spx
I am extremely pleased with the bike
For starters i am very impressed with the sturdiness of this spin bike
Competitiveness
The proform 490 spx indoor cycle trainer is great bike for the price
The proform 490 seemed like it would be more suited because of its heavy flywheel
