I’ve been riding a lifefitness IC6 at the gym with the peloton app. I’ve been looking at a ton of bikes, and I can’t afford the one at the gym, they’re really pricey lol. I considered the peloton itself, but also expensive. My biggest issue is not being able to try the bikes before buying. I’ve found a local fitness store that sells these, so I’m heading out Wednesday to check it out, and it’s now $599 US. Your review has gotten me really interested. I almost ordered the diamondback 1260 spin bike, but i really want to check this one out first. Thank you for your excellent review.

Fantastic Review, exactly what I was looking for!

As usual, TOP NOTCH review! I get the impression you enjoy a challenge, have you ever tried roller trainers? To be clear, the ones you ride you actual bike on, unsupported, you have to balance you bike on spinning rolling pins that you power. If not, check them out. I built some to ride my mtb on. If you can go 20 min your a beast! Totally changes your spin and balance, if you run your tires a little soft, it’s like riding on beach sand, constantly.

You are a great KZreadr! Great info and entertaining to boot. Great job! Hope you can review the Echelon Rowing Machine as well.

Nothing rattles. - Easy to move. Has wheels so you can roll it. - Small footprint . About 24"X48" - I contacted "service@inspirefitness.net" to purchase an extra pair of bearings just to have them. They sent them to me for free. - Having the choice of apps is really nice. I added the Wahoo RPM Speed and Cadence sensors and use Zwift. watch?v=rLTrbmgX4Xw - The official "Inspire Fitness" app connects to the bikes bluetooth no problem but I only used it for the trial month to see if it worked.

@@LauraTryUK I've done some Les Mills classes and they want you to change resistance from like a flat road to max resistance out of the saddle. These intervals are very short , like 10 seconds. This means, I would need multiple turns to get to really high resistance.this could be an inconvenience I think. I used a life fitness ic7 bike and that bike goes from 0 to 100% resistance in one knob turn. It's super easy to adjust and don't need to spin the knob multiple times. Thanks

@@matase Hey, now I see your reason for asking, thanks for explaining. The Echelon classes rarely (in fact, never) go from 0 to 32 - it is usually gradual, increasing perhaps 3-5 levels in any one time. if there is a max interval then the instructor says to increase cadence to a certain number as opposed to cranking the resistance. I hope that helps.
