I'm tasked to get a spin/exercise bike for the office

Any recommendations ?

(It's for multiple people so we don't want a turbo trainer)

cheers for the options

yes i should have mentioned budget,max £1000

We already have a set of Bepro power meter pedals so we don't need a power meter bike.

the boss has come up with this ...

Body max B2 £179

Wattbike isn't really a spin bike IME - you don't really get a flywheel effect and maintaining higher rpms isn't really it's forte. Wattbike good as an ergo trainer where you can work to a given workload. Some spin bikes don't have the ability to vary bar rearch which means you end up with an odd position which doesn't help in terms of training adaptation. I would want a test-ride - get it up to high rpms and make sure it still feels solid and smooth with no clunky bearings.
