Other premium features include two-sided pedals with shoe-to-pedal clip-ins and a gas shock lift to help you raise and lower the handlebars.Įxercise and spin bikes have existed for a very long time-Peloton didn’t invent them. The bike is built on an inertia-enhanced flywheel with a very quiet ride, thanks in part to the bike’s Silent Magnetic Resistance system-and the 20 degree incline to 10 degree decline is all automatically adjustable by the workout program you’re using on the big screen. While the S27i is not inexpensive, you get a lot for the price tag. iFit also includes a wealth of workout options that get you off the bike as well. Because this is a NordicTrack product, it works with the iFit streaming workout software, which includes trainer-led rides through gorgeous vistas around the world, as well as live and on-demand workout classes. The 27-inch HD touchscreen doesn’t just tilt and pivot-which makes it easy to use for non-spinning workouts, like weight training, Pilates or yoga-but the screen is about 3 inches bigger than Peloton’s as well. NordicTrack’s new S27i is clearly the brand’s attempt to counter Peloton's Bike+, and it succeeds in almost every way-if you're looking for a spin-class-style exercise bike for home with a large screen to display classes and workouts, this is your bike.
