Constantly looking forward to training on it again!!!

- Erik, 10 November, 2023

I am hugely satisfied and already completely addicted to training on these stages! Using zwift to find a nice route, listen to a podcast or watch Netflix and meanwhile cycling dozens of kilometres without cold, wind, rain, traffic lights. The device pairs fully automatically the resistance is controlled by your training app (and you can even charge it by connecting it to the smart bike).

Pros & Cons

Easy interfacing with zwift and other apps
Easy to adjust to the right size
Ordinary road bike remains in perfect condition
Perform workouts precisely
Very stable and sturdy
Setting it up (once) was quite a job

Great bike for the winter months or when it rains outside

- Frank, 13 October, 2023

Indoor and outdoor cycling is now easy to alternate. So also useful if you just want to cycle quickly for an hour or if it's raining outside. The cycling experience is fine although I have to work a bit harder to reach the same wattage as outside (also measured outside with the same Stages dual powermeters).

Pros & Cons

Good cycling experience
Pairs well with Rouvy
Pleasant tablet holder
Quiet
Stable and robust

Stable and enormously rigid!

- Wim, 30 May, 2023

Enormously pleasant to use. Easy to assemble and noiseless in use! Should have bought it much earlier instead of the Tacx Neo 2T which seemed a bit unstable to me.

Pros & Cons

Easy to move for an outdoor session
Extremely stable
Much more pleasant to use than Tacx Neo 2T
Stable connection
Well-placed holders for iPhone & iPad
Is absolutely worth its price!
Maybe price (for some)

Fine and good alternative to the real bike
Good adjustment to the person
Would have liked a Dutch manual with it

Top bike that does exactly what you expect from it!

- Robert, 3 October, 2022

Fine bike for indoor exercise and all kinds of workouts. Ideal to get through the winter and still stay fit. The bike is easy to assemble and just as quick to connect to Zwift. The bike is easy to adjust and therefore suitable for multiple family members.

Pros & Cons

Easy to connect to Zwift
Easy to mount
Realistic cycling experience
Stable setup for hard pedaling
A bit heavy but easy to lift

Top bike!

- Judy, 17 April, 2022

After using a lot of other types of trainers, I switched to a smart bike. And no regrets, it is an investment, but then you really have a solid bike that is very decent for longer rides or more explosive short rides. The measurements are very accurate and stable, you can put power on it without worry, reacts quickly when needed. The only disadvantage I would perhaps find is that the bike does not 'move with you' like e.g. the Wahoo smart bike. Incidentally, opinions are also divided on whether that adds value, but just what you prefer. The bike is also heavy to move, but of course that is why it is so solid.

Pros & Cons

Accurate
Stable and solid
Somewhat heavy for any moves

Great, sturdy smartbike at a competitive price for a fitter and healthier life

- Amy, 13 February, 2022

As our family suffers a lot of injuries when running outdoors and we don't feel like or have time to go to the gym every time, we had our eye on the Stages smartbike. At first, we were a bit put off by the high price because of a gym membership. However, the huge kick you get from achieving your cycling performance with apps like Zwift and Rouvy and the very fun game element involved are really worth it. The bike can be used by all family members and easily adjusted to everyone's height. This also allows you to share the costs together, where otherwise you would have had to buy a bike for everyone separately. Note that there are still monthly fees for apps like Zwift and Rouvy. However, without these apps we would never have bought the bike, with Rouvy, for example, you cycle through beautiful landscapes of Brazil, Italy and even Vietnam. This is so stimulating that I want to jump on the Stages smartbike daily to complete new time trials and break my records. Besides the fun experience, you quickly burn calories and thus your excess weight. Without the injuries I previously suffered with running. There are no pedals included, but we got these for free from Mantel. Also delivered neatly and quickly (within one working day) free of charge at home. We assembled the bike together using a YouTube video. This is more convenient than using the manual that came with it. Make sure you first move the parts to the room where you are going to build the bike, otherwise you won't be able to lift it up the stairs. It is very heavy, which has the advantage that even people over 100 kilos can cycle standing up, without the bike falling over. However, you can't just put the bike in your garden in summer, which would be nice and cool, of course. I am afraid that in summer it is quite hot to cycle now that the bike is in the bedroom. So do make sure you have a good fan. We are very happy with it and I am convinced that we are going to enjoy the Stages smartbike a lot more and also become much fitter and healthier because of it!

Pros & Cons

Competitive price
Easy and quick to assemble
Many possibilities
Sturdy heavy duty smartbike
Cannot be moved from floor or room due to weight
No fan
No pedals included
They are still expensive bikes

Top purchase with perfect cycling feel

- Hans, 17 January, 2022

Cycles perfectly, even when you stand in the pedals the bike stays firm and nothing moves. Perfectly adjustable for everyone because you can customise everything. Would love to have someone from Mantel on site to set up the bike with the right apps and tablet/screen so it works completely. I am not a technical person and support is very welcome

Pros & Cons

Easy to assemble
Shifts perfectly
Super stable bike

top trainer.

- Patrick, 5 October, 2021

I bought this trainer on 11 September at Mantel in Rotterdam. The staff helped the trainer into the box and into the car - top service! I have now done quite a bit of cycling with the trainer and can only say that it is well worth the money. I had a tacx neo2t before this, but I noticed that I didn't use it very often because I had to put the bike on every time. This trainer is going to give our family a lot of pleasure in the coming years!

Pros & Cons

adjustable for the whole family
always ready to use
works perfectly with Zwift

More than excellent device!

- Martin, 18 August, 2020

Last month "out of the box" I bought a Stages B20 training bike in Den Bosch at Mantel Winkel. After looking at other brands and YouTube reviews, I came to the conclusion to go for the Stages B20. Decisive reasons for me were the stability of the bike, independent connection to almost all known online training programmes and the entry-level design (and thus design of bike as a whole). Well-known reviews on YouTube have been a good advisor. Excellent service in the shop and even though the test model had not yet been delivered to the shop, I did try other bikes from other brands. So Stages B20 as the absolute winner for me. So then unloaded and on to home. Assistance with loading and unloading is highly recommended if you are sparing your back. Assembly is really a breeze with the help of the YouTube video. The same goes for downloading the latest update and connecting it to your training programme. In my case, I train with Zwift. Because Stages has been making spinning bikes, among other things, for years, the company understands what such an intelligent indoor training bike must meet. Super stable and noiseless in drive. This they. Really unique points in me experience compared to the competition. In short: are you looking for a stable, noiseless and superior quality indoor training bike? Go for Stages' B20 I would say!

Pros & Cons

Connection training programmes
Practical and beautiful design
Silent
Switching works perfectly
Very stable
