Owner Reviews

Great value for a connected bikeMarcus T. · 2024-01-15
★★★★☆

Paired it with the Peloton app subscription and the experience is fantastic. Resistance adjustments are smooth and quiet, my family can't hear me working out from the next room.

Solid bike, seat needs upgradingDana R. · 2023-11-02
★★★★☆

The ride quality is excellent and assembly took about an hour. Only complaint is the stock seat, swapped it for a gel cover after the first week.

Better than my old spin studio bikeJulian P. · 2024-03-22
★★★★☆

The flywheel weight makes it feel just like the bikes at my studio. Bluetooth connection to Zwift worked instantly and heart rate syncing is accurate.

Good for the priceKatie B. · 2023-09-18
★★★★☆

Very sturdy frame and I love the micro-adjustable resistance. Wish it came with a screen but using my tablet on the holder works fine.
