Looking for an affordable option to the Peloton bike? Do you want a bike that is sturdy, well-built, and comfortable that doesn’t cost several thousand dollars? We tested the Sole SB700 bike which offers exceptional functionality at a great price. This works well as an alternative to the Peloton bike for those who want quality and durability but are happy to use a tablet or phone rather than pay for an attached touchscreen.

Sole SB700 Features
Steel Frame with Aluminum Finish
The SB700 is a well-engineered spin bike. It is designed for home use, or light commercial such as fire stations, apartment complexes or hotel gyms. The SB700 frame carries a full lifetime warranty. The steel frame has an aluminum finish for protection against wear.

48lb Chrome-Plated Flywheel
A heavy flywheel makes all the difference! When riding a stationary bike, the front wheel doesn’t move with the same momentum as it would outdoors. If the flywheel is not heavy enough, it makes the pedal stroke feel heavy and jerky as the pedals lose momentum in the rotation. A weighted flywheel glides smoothly as the energy from your pedal stroke creates kinetic energy in the wheel. The forward inertia keeps the wheel spinning evenly throughout the rotation so there is no jerkiness in the pedal stroke.

3" X 4" LCD Integrated console displays heart rate, RPM, Time, kCal, distance, and speed
The LCD display provides a nice readout of your ride metrics. It is large enough to see, but not so big it gets in your way. Sole machines are not designed to feature a lot of tech. Sole builds quality, streamlined equipment that is superbly engineered for a quality ride.

Felt Pad Brake Resistance
A felt pad creates friction on the flywheel to generate resistance. Pads are thick and soft so resistance is quiet and does not damage the flywheel. The weighted flywheel and pad create smooth resistance that should challenge any rider. While this isn’t on par with magnetic resistance, friction resistance is found on many commercial bikes and holds up well when serviced appropriately. Pads do wear out and tend to generate more noise than magnetic resistance.

Tension Resistance Knob
While the tension knob does give the rider a tactile feel for how much resistance they add with each turn -- there is no actual measurement for specific levels. Nor are there any preset levels. This makes calculating accurate wattage slightly more challenging. It also makes it hard to set and find the same level of resistance repeatedly.

Handlebars with extension grips
SB700 handlebars offer multiple resting points and feature a lightly coated grip for comfort. This grip material won’t harbor bacteria and is easily wiped off.

Four Points of Adjustment:
The ability to adjust the bike four ways is vital to finding the correct fit. You can move the seat forward/aft and up/down. You can move the handlebars forward/aft and up/down. This allows riders of all sizes to find the fit that works best for them.

Lifetime Warranty on Frame with 3-Year Warranty on Electronics
A lifetime frame warranty reaffirms Sole’s commitment to quality products. These are solid, well-built machines that Sole expects to hold up to regular use.
