Bluefin Fitness Unisex's, Black and Silver, TOUR SP Bike

This is a great bike. It is sturdy, heavy and makes you feel safe and secure (and I am a bigger bloke - for now!) However, buyers who are excited by the prospect of using Kinomap be aware - it does not work yet. There is a technical glitch with this. I have received an email from Kinomap to say they are waiting to get a bike from Bluefin to do some testing and try fix the issue. How long this will take is anyones guess. I am personally really disappointed by that as it was a feature I paid more for.I have given this a good rating as Bluefin have made a great bike. However, the advertising of Kinomap is (at present) misleading.

Thought I would update my review as I now have the Tour Spin all built and working. The bike itself is really good, very quiet and certainly does the job. One aspect that is advertised that it doesn’t have is heart rate sensors on the handle bars. I’m not too worried but the advert is misleading.Right, not sure if it was just my bike, but initial connection to Kinomap caused me a right pain as it never showed up when trying to search. I was at the point of sending the bike back when I came across the solution purely by mistake. If you find you can not detect the bike try this - build the bike and connect the display but don’t put both batteries in. Click the Kinomap through to adding the bluefin product bike. Before clicking on Tour Spin, put the batteries in and you will hear a long tone. As soon as it is heard click the Tour Spin on the Kinomap app. The bike will show up and you can connect. You only have to do it once. I have done about 10 rides now and it is a really good way of cycling with a little bit of interest to watch whilst doing it. Riding with other online cyclists is great fun. Overall, really happy.

MI opinión sobre la bicicleta es que se vende como compatible con la app Kinomap y en realidad es incompatible con dicha app únicamente es compatible con la app FS ( nada que ver con kinomap). Además amazon vende el producto con imagenes "bonitas" con prestaciones que realmente no tiene como son el control de ritmo cardiado mediante sensores, así como, medidor de watts o potencia. La bici carece de medidor de control de ritmo cardiaco y wats. Por no hablar del sistema de frenado es una simple almohadilla que por supuesto no concuerda con la descripción del producto.El display igualmente no es el que se muestra en imágenes de la publicidad del producto y tampoco mide con exactitud la distancia en km realizada, ya que, a menor cadencia presenta mayor avance en distancia.En definitiva es buena bicicleta sin contar con la conectividad a dispositivos y su display al carecer de prestaciones electrónicas. El tamañano es mediano - grande

The machine is sturdy and well built, assembly was straightforward and I was able to connect to the Kinomap app using the tip about connecting right after inserting the batteries.I'm 6'2 and the bike is big enough for me but the handlebars are too far away and cannot be moved closer, this makes it a bit uncomfortable to ride.The problem with this machine is the electronics. It connects to the app using 'FTMS' fitness machine protocol using Bluetooth. It shares cadence, speed, power and heart rate which you can view in Kinomap, I also got it working with Zwift by setting it up as a power meter (heart rate monitor didn't work) though it is a little flakey and loses the connection every time you exit & restart the app. The big problem is that the only sensor on the bike appears to be a Cadence detector down by the pedals (something you could buy separately for £20). The speed and power readings generated by the machine are pretty much useless because they don't take the resistance into account. Also the heart rate monitor seems to be 10-20% out when I compare with other devices.Using apps with this machine is like cycling on a single speed bike where you can only apply brakes, the only way to increase your power output on the app is to pedal faster and increasing resistance just slows you down. The only way around this is to attach power meter pedals which are more expensive than the bike itself.In conclusion, the bike itself is fine for larger people but the electronics are pretty pointless, I would recommend getting a cheaper and more basic spinning bike and then adding your own Cadence or Power sensors if you want them.

We bought this bike for exercises and we were very excited to be a part of Kinomap society, but from the very beginning the app didn't work. We have contacted app developer and after 2 months of waiting the problem remains un-resolved. The bike itself is heavy and not comfortable to exercise on. The saddle is harsh and doesn't adjust for personal requirements. My German husband, who is engineer himself, embarrassed by this "Master piece". Don't buy, invest in something else.
