Sole B94 Upright Exercise Bike Review
with Heart Rate Control
The Sole B94 Upright Exercise Bike starts off with comfort, quality and the best warranty in the industry (as does all Sole fitness equipment) but what stands out  with
this exercise bike is that it comes with 2 Heart Rate Control (HRC) programs along with telemetry enabled and integrated contact grip heart rate monitors with the heart rate chest strap included.
Sole does not call the B94 Upright a commercial grade exercise bike but this bike has the same quality, durability and features that you see on many commercial grade models but for a much more reasonable price.
In addition to the Heart Rate Control programs (which are not offered on most in-home exercise bikes) you also get a large, 9 inch, easy-to-use and easy-to-read backlit LCD console (see the console photo below).

The Sole Exercise Bike Warranty
Sole is totally committed to building quality fitness products that are extremely durable which is why they offer the industry leading warranty on their exercise bikes - Lifetime on the frame, 3 years on parts and electronics, 1 year on labor with in-home service!
Responsive Customer Service
One of my good friends, who is an expert in fitness equipment and former V.P. of a major fitness corporation has noted the following regarding Sole treadmills and elliptical trainers:
"What is equally important is Sole has an excellent reputation for customer service. Since I have been reviewing their ellipticals and treadmills, I have received no complaints about their customer service. That is rare. In addition, I have only gotten one email regarding a minor technical problem. This is what I would consider a strong endorsement on the products and the company."
I believe that this applies equally to their exercise bikes.
About-Bicycles Review:
The Sole B94 Upright Exercise Bike is your best buy for an upright exercise bike with Heart Rate Control (HRC) for under $1,000. This bike will last for many years to come (and if you don't think that it will, there is the warranty to back this up) and is capable of handling heavier use or heavier users due to its solid construction. 
The warranty on the B94 can not be beat so even if you have not had a chance to review this Upright Exercise Bike in the b&m stores (they are sold at Sears and Dick's but are not always on display or in stock), you can still be assured of getting a quality product.
Customer Reviews:
There only a few customer reviews of the product at the time of this review since they are still very new (as of August, 2011).
The Sole SB700 Review at Amazon was  (4 of 5 stars, from Jason Stokes on 11/30/2011). Here are a few excerpts that sum up this review pretty well:
"Received this last week, and after two small issues, got it assembled and tried it out over the past few days. First impressions are overall good. The 4 star rating comes from the issues encountered in putting the bike together..."
"It feels very sturdy. As referenced earlier, the metal is very heavy gauge and difficult to bend/damage. The handlebars are solid and well put together. The seat is ample, well cushioned, and does not feel flimsy..."
"More on the seat - it is cushioned with springs, and rather high quality. It moves both up and down AND front and back, to optimize the position for my 6' self as well as my wife at 5'5". It adjusts with the turn of a knob, simply and easily..."
