Our Take

These are just wonderful bikes — among the best designed and best built in the world. Tunturi models are very popular in Scandinavian countries as well as in the rest of Europe.

They only drawback for users in North America is that they have a very limited distribution, so finding one is a problem, as well as getting replacement parts and service in the future – should that day come.

One other point is the weak dollar; you’ll pay more for the Tunturi E60R recumbent bike since it is imported from Finland.
