Yes, the frame has a 1 year warranty on it, but customers have complained that it is hard to avail the warranty from Ironman.

It has all the basics for it to be called an exercise bike, it has a space saving design, it is easy to transport and needs some batteries to operate the console. It has 8 resistance levels, but they are not that great to really lift a challenge to intermediate riders.

It is better to save a few dollars and buy a better bike than this one, even if more expensive. This bike has a one year warranty on the frame, but it is a bit awkward since the price is low and the maximum user weight on the bike is only 250 pounds. To buy this bike is a bit of a risk since there aren’t many positive reviews on it and Ironman isn’t that famous of a brand for indoor bikes.
