The Roger Black 6kg Exercise Bike has some nice functions that will appeal to many users, especially in the programming.

The great starting point with this Roger Black exercise bike is that it has some great technological features with the console and different programmes. Many find that this machine is fairly easy to use with a nice range of options. There are 6 fairly typical pre-set modes, but there are also specialised options for body fat, target heart rate and target control.

There are 16 levels of resistance to work through while building on strength and ability. All of the data is visible on the blue LCD console with data and there is the added benefit of the hand grip pulse sensor

There are also other physical elements to the hardware that have impressed a few users. This ranges from the addition of the iPad holder to the simple adjustments to the seat and handlebar.

This means that most users can find the ideal position while watching the next episode of a box set. There are also self leveling pedals with straps and a bottle holder.

The trouble with this Roger Black Gold Magnetic Exercise Bike is that there is a clear cut off in its abilities and functions.

There are some clear limitations with the hardware and software of this stationary bike, which become evident after playing around for a little while. For example, there are some users confused as to why the calorie counter was not automatic. There is also minimal data and resistance.

Many plateau at the highest level a little too quickly. In addition to this, there are the typical issues with the comfort of the saddle and assembly. The seat takes some getting used to and the model is a little fiddly to put together, but generally worth the effort.

This is definitely a good looking stationary bike with a decent spec. It is a sleek black exercise machine with a slim profile and fairly subtle branding. But can it deliver in the way that buyers expect?

Conclusion

There are some clear limitations to this machine, but there are also plenty of quality elements. It all depends upon the ability and needs of the user.

Ideally, this is best used as a model for first time users that are just starting out with fitness goals. This is clear with the use of the 6kg flywheel, minimal resistance and lack of data.

This Roger Black exercise bike is therefore an appealing entry level machine with a better finish than some cheaper options.
