They have a 21.5-inch (55 cm) swiveling touchscreen, pedals with clips and straps, and adjustable handlebars and seat. Myx is printed on the side of the bicycles.

Myx also sells the MYX II Plus indoor stationary exercise bike in Canada, which is the same bike as the MYX II but includes other unrelated fitness accessories such as workout mats, weights, and a resistance band.

Issue

Myx has received reports that the pedals of the MYX II indoor stationary exercise bike can become detached if not properly installed, posing a scrape, bruising, or fall hazard to consumers.
