The VirtuFit Stage 2.0i is aimed at riders who take indoor cycling seriously and want a bike that feels substantial under load. Its 22 kg flywheel is the heaviest stated figure among the screenless bikes we cover, and it pairs that with 24 resistance levels, 13 onboard programmes and support for Zwift, Kinomap and Fitshow. It is a training bike first and an entertainment device second.

Our take
Flywheel, frame and crank
A heavy flywheel carries momentum through the dead spots of the pedal stroke, which is why spin bikes use them. VirtuFit pairs its 22 kg flywheel with a three-piece crank and what it calls double layered fusion technology in the frame. The matt black bike is rated for riders up to 140 kg and weighs 22 kg itself.
One spec table oddity: the resistance mechanism is labelled as air, which does not match a flywheel indoor cycle. Ask the seller to confirm the brake type if it matters to you.
Programmes, profiles and heart rate
The 13 programmes include manual mode and heart rate controlled training, where the bike adjusts to keep you in a target zone. That requires a heart rate signal via 5 kHz wireless, so a compatible chest strap is needed. Up to four user profiles can be stored, useful for a household sharing one bike.
The LED display shows the usual training data, including calories, distance and speed.
Contact points
The saddle adjusts both horizontally and vertically in millimetre increments, which helps match a road bike position. The handlebars are coated multi-grip bars with adjustable elbow pads for a more aerodynamic posture. Pedals are toe clips, so if you ride with cleats you will need to swap them.
Stage 2.0i or Capital Sports Evo Race?
The Capital Sports Evo Race also lists a 22 kg flywheel and adds a Bluetooth pulse strap and Kinomap on a Smart TV, but it gives only 10 levels and no programmes. The Yesoul G1M Plus brings its own screen but no stated flywheel weight. For riders who want structured, heart-rate-led training on a heavy flywheel and plan to use Zwift, the VirtuFit is the more complete package.
Verdict
Choose the Stage 2.0i if you want a weighty, adjustable indoor cycle with built-in programmes and Zwift support. If you would rather follow classes on a screen built into the bike, the Yesoul G1M Plus fits better, and riders who want Kinomap on a TV with a strap included can look at the Capital Sports Evo Race.
