  • Time
  • Speed
  • Ave speed
  • Distance
  • Calories
  • RPM
  • Pulse
  • Watt

You can also connect this bike to an app. You can track and record to your mobile devices with the use of a heart rate band. The heart rate sensors are placed on either side of the secondary handlebars. A handy tablet holder above the LCD display can enable you to monitor extra info on your workout, or keep you entertained as you watch Netflix or stream a movie.

Electro-Magnetic Resistance

This bike features 3 front and 8 rear gears which are controlled using electro-magnetic resistance. This allows the rider to accurately increase your effort with more resistance increments than many similar models.

Feedback: What buyers of the JLL Velox 2 Road Training Bike Said?

Being a new model from JLL, there is little in the way of feedback. However, you can quickly see that feedback on other JLL models in a similar price range are excellent. The range of mid-range bikes from the company are a step up from the no-brand models, and less expensive than companies such as NordicTrack.

General feedback from the range states that the bikes are sturdy and solid, and the set-up time is lower than you might expect with some other bikes. Some find the racing seat from the range a little uncomfortable, although this is an easy fix with a gel cover. There is lots of praise for JLL customer services in the feedback, highlighting the prompt resolution of any issues from this respected UK brand.

Wrapping Up: Is the JLL Velox 2 Road Training Bike Right for You?

JLL Velox 2 The first thing to be said is that isn’t a simple exercise bike. If you’re a beginner and you want to simply burn calories, this isn’t the bike for you. There are simple upright bikes in the JLL exercise bikes range which will work better.

However, if you’re serious about biking and getting out on the road, you should sit up and take notice. It might seem strange to use the word ‘road’ in the name of an indoor bike, but this equipment sets you up perfectly for those road rides. If you eventually want to step up to road racing, even better. With those multiple resistance settings, the 8-function monitor, the belt driven flywheel and those SPD compatible pedals, this is a serious piece of equipment.
