Checked 30 Oct 2026. Manufacturer specifications are claims, not independent test results. Retailer listings can change. What the specification labels mean.

Before ordering
- Identity: the Fytique variant SKU GG-RB-002 equals the gymgear.com variant SKU; name and product images agree. Neither side publishes a separate barcode.
- Fytique's page handle says r97 and its title says R8; the SKU and photographs match Gym Gear's R8, so the R8 name is used.
- 30 October 2026: the exact Fytique variant (approved Awin merchant, recorded approval) showed available: true on the live merchant page (/products/<handle>.js). Checkout and postcode delivery not tested; availability can change.
- Listing image check, 30 October 2026: all 4 gallery images on the exact merchant page checked by eye (product renders and a seat-recline close-up only); the page has no description images. Pass.
- Spec sheet read: Download Spec PDF (R8 Recumbent Bike); Fytique's '25 levels' is retailer wording and not recorded.
- Photograph: the merchant's supplied Awin feed image for this exact listing (24 October 2026 export), byte-identical to gallery image 1 on the purchase page when both were fetched on 30 October 2026; see the batch 59 image ledger.
