The Buzz

UPDATE:  The Pro CTX model has been discontinued.  If you're interested in buying a Weslo exercise bike check out the selection of popular models on sale at Amazon.

The Weslo Pro CTX Indoor Cycle features an adjustable saddle that can be moved up/down and fore/aft to accommodate each user in the household, with a user capacity up to 250 pounds. The 30-lb flywheel is equipped with a felt resistance system with an easy tension adjustment. Together with the standard chain drive, the bike delivers a smooth, natural, quiet ride.

Other features of the Weslo Pro CTX include a welded steel frame, quick-stop braking system, adjustable non-slip handlebars with elbow pads, a water bottle holder, adjustable leveling feet, and dual-sided pedals with toe cages and straps.

The pros on the Weslo are that it is amazingly quiet for a chain model, well-made, easy to assemble, and the price is ideal for a budget spin bike. The cons are that it is made with some cheap parts like the seat and the overly small transport wheels which don’t help much if you need to move this 95-lb bike. Also, there is no odometer, which is often offered on other budget spin bikes.

Our Take

The Weslo Pro CTX Indoor Cycle sells online for around $249 to $279 so shop around to get the best price with free shipping.

If you can get it for even less than that, say around $200, then it is a steal; otherwise, if you are closing in on the $280 price level, compare the Weslo to the popular Proform 290 SPX spinning bike which earned a lot of praise from its owners and reviewers when it came out last year.

For larger users, you might want to take a look at the sturdy 108-lb Sunny Health Fitness Cycle that offers a hefty 40-lb flywheel and 275-lb max user limit.
