The Slim Cycle from High Street TV is built for people who want a bike that disappears when it is not in use. It folds flat rather than just narrowing, and it combines cycling with built-in resistance bands for the upper body. It suits light, regular cardio and toning sessions in a home without a spare room.

In its favour
- A flat-fold design that the listing says stores easily out of the way.
- Built-in resistance bands and a choice of upright or sit-back riding.
- The maker states a 136 kg (21 st 6 lb) user limit and a weight of 18 kg.
Good to know
- Only eight magnetic levels, the fewest in this guide.
- The app tracks heart rate only if you add your own Bluetooth monitor.
Our take
Two positions and built-in bands
The two-in-one name refers to riding positions. You can sit upright, which the listing says adds core work, or sit back for a steadier, lower-impact ride. The sit-back position is a partial recline rather than a full recumbent seat, so expect something between an upright and a recumbent.
Resistance bands are built into the frame, so you can work the arms, shoulders and core while you pedal. That is the main thing separating the Slim Cycle from a basic folding upright.
Resistance, capacity and size
There are eight levels of magnetic resistance, described as quiet. The maximum user weight is 136 kg, which the listing also gives in stones as 21 st 6 lb. Set up, the bike measures 109 by 50 by 95 cm and weighs 18 kg, light enough to carry to a cupboard or slide under a bed once folded. Some assembly is required.
App and extras
A tablet or phone stand lets you play music or watch a show. The free New Image Fitness app on Google Play and the App Store holds Slim Cycle workouts and progress tracking. If you pair your own Bluetooth heart rate monitor, the app can show heart rate and calorie burn in real time. The listing does not mention pulse grips on the bike itself.
Compared with the convertible bikes
The YOSUDA 5-in-1 and BARWING 5-in-1 both offer a deeper recline, 16 magnetic levels and arm and leg bands, though neither folds flat in the same way. The Sunny SF-B223011 is a simpler upright X-bike with 14 levels and pulse grips but no bands. The Slim Cycle wins on storage and gives up resistance range and recline depth in return.
Verdict
Pick the Slim Cycle if flat storage and simple band work matter more than a wide resistance range, and if your sessions are light to moderate. For more levels and a proper recumbent position, look at the YOSUDA 5-in-1 or the BARWING 5-in-1. If you only need an upright folding bike with pulse sensors, the Sunny SF-B223011 is the cleaner choice.
