16:16 summary
The ProForm Costco bike has become very popular as it has begun to show up in stores for just $385 along with a free year of iFit app. The Peloton bike plus is also very popular, but it's also extremely expensive up front at $2495 along with a monthly $39 cost for the peloton membership. To put the icing on the cake Peloton bike orders are really backed up for some locations, taking longer than 2 -3 months for delivery of a Peloton bike, so many people are looking for cheaper peloton alternative bikes, and also options that are less expensive. If you want a indoor cycling bike with magnetic resistance and an app to follow along instructor leads, the Proform tour de france cbc from costco may be a good option for you. The bike does have a few weaknesses. The handlebars don't rise up very high, so if you are a tall rider you may find yourself in an digressing indoor cycling riding position which may cause strain on your up back and neck if you ride for extended periods of time. The peloton bike does not suffer from this lack of handlebar adjustment. The peloton bike is much more comfortable for me personally because the handlebars can raise much higher.

I couldn't agree more! I've been sitting here for weeks trying to figure out which indoor spin bike to buy. I need one that has live classes because I'll get sidetracked and probably won't be as motivated. I use to go to an awesome spin class every week but in Feb 2019 I was suddenly diagnosed with End-Stage-Cirrhosis and was bed ridden for a year. Of course when I finally start to be mobile the darn pandemic hit us all! Well that's another year of not doing anything really. I was 119 lbs when I left the hospital which isn't my ideal weight being 5'9". My ideal weight would be around 125-130 lbs. I've always been that weight until I fell ill. I got up to 206 lbs. ! I'm at 197 lbs. now. My body is limited to what I can psychically do but my mind thinks I can do everything I use to do but I can't. That's when I thought having a "spin class" at home (where people can't watch me either) and doing something that I also enjoyed an indoor spin bike would be awesome. Like I said I've been searching and trying to gather up some money and figure out what to buy. I've ALWAYS wanted a Peloton bike but with that price, yikes! Any way my whole point of my little rant is THANK YOU for sharing even though nobody asked for it, LOL. I ASKED for it ~ so I greatly appreciate you sharing your comparison!! I'm a Costco member so woohoo! Hopefully they're not sold out!! eek! IF your curious: gf.me/u/zcyu7h

I have seen videos where you can adjust the max resistance. The default adjustment leaves the magnet a little far from the flywheel. I'm too intimidated to do it, but it looks doable.
I have the Pro-Form and cannot be happier, especially at that price point. Bought another one to give as a X-mas gift to my oldest daughter since we were so impressed with the first one. Another daughter has her Peloton Plus coming sometime in 2021, as it was on backorder, so will be able to do own comparison when it arrives.
Great video !!! Thanks for taking the time. I was contemplating on a peleton, sounds like the Proform would get the job done.

Thanks so much for your straightforward comparison of the Proform CBC vs Peloton Bike+. I love to bike outdoors and have considered a stationary bike for quite a while. I have used indoor resistance devices for my bikes, but it just doesn't feel like a spin class bike. I have been comparing stationary bikes for purchase this year, and was impressed with the features of the Costco bike for the money. The Peloton seems to be the gold standard, although NordicTrac looks good also. When I learned I could get the same classes on the CBC, and with the iFit control of the resistance, I thought this was an absolute bargain for the money spent. Your video corroborated my thoughts. Although I just viewed your video (trying to convince myself that this bike is a good choice), I purchased one yesterday at Costco. I am still preparing the space and have not yet set it up. I will be glad to contribute my thoughts when I have them. BTW, last year Costco did a BF deal on a similar model for $299. I will watch and see if I can get a price adjustment. I will look at your other related videos. Thanks for doing this video.

I have been using a SPINNER brand stationary bike that i bought from second wind years ago. It was a gym bike. I pull it up in front of my computer and use the one peloton app/site and it works well. I have only been paying 12.00 a month for the Peloton app. That having been said, having done this for almost a year, I just bought a peloton bike+. I love the classes and so many of my friends are connected while they are in class that I have been longing to join them and look forward to the community peloton offers. I have been using the App about 9 months at least 4 times a week. Lots of things work but nothing has motivated me like these teachers do
I asked for this review yessss! So excited
Excellent Video.I just purchased the Pro-Form at Costco and so far so good.
Love my pro form !! Love the iFit classes! Best bang for your buck in my opinion! No recurring fee is awesome ! 2k+ for a peloton plus the monthly fee that’s more than most gyms? Does not fit the fit mamas budget! I’d rather spend that money on great nutrition 🙂
Thanks for the review!!

Great video dude
Buyer beware. As they say, you get what you paid for. I bought this ProForm after viewing this video. The concept on the ProForm is great if it worked reliably. The bike worked fine initially, the resistance adjusted to the trainer’s instructions. Unfortunately, after the third time it stopped working at all. I keep getting CH-0 and CH-1 error message and the resistance adjustment will not work at all. Then the pedal started making squeaking noice which got worse and worse to a point I could not tolerate it. Called customer support and they told me a few parts need to be replaced but they are back ordered so they were supposed to be delivered in a month. Got part of the order (the bearing) in about three weeks. The rest, well, I waited for three months now then finally gave up and returned the bike to Costco. By the way, even if the parts were received, they expect you to replace and fix a it yourself if you don’t want to wait another unknown time after the parts are all received. I would not recommend this bike. Not worth the hassle.
I bought my pro form Tour de France yesterday 🎉 this video helped me!

Three years ago I bought a heavy duty Spin style bike from Sears and started using the Peloton app which I run through a TV. I’m 5’2”, and no stationary bike fits me well, so I can’t justify the money for the Peloton bike to be able to compete with the people in a live class. With my Apple Watch on I can see my heart rate on the screen. I think the classes on the Peloton app are great.
Thanks for reviewing this. Big price difference.

I agree with your analysis that the Pro-Form max resistance is not high enough out of the box. There is a pretty simple tweak that can be done to move the resistance magnets closer to the flywheel, which increases the max resistance. I found the instructional video on how to do that here on KZread. Should be pretty easy to find. Along with the Pro-Form bike we also got the Pro-Form rower from Costco as well as a NordicTrack (same parent company as Pro-Form and iFit) treadmill. Just as pleased with them as well.

This is an informative review of the bike hardware. However, I think it missed the point of why most Peloton owners love their bikes. The classes are fun and motivate riders to work harder than they otherwise would. I've lost count of the number of times I've been tired, but hopped on the bike for an easy ride and to get the blood flowing, but at the end of the ride winding up setting a "personal record" and having a puddle of sweat on the mat below. I am an avid outdoor rider and hated indoor riding until I bought my Pelton.

good point Andrew, I need to focus on the peloton experience more in the future. that being said, as an outdoor rider do you know much about ifit outdoor instructor led destination based rides? they are pretty neat and if you enjoy outdoor rides you may like them, i ended up liking them more than i was expecting when testing out the s22i nordictrack, ifit studio classes are no match for peloton in my opinion though. thanks for your thoughts and comments.

@@TailHappyTV I have never used iFit, so I can't comment on the experience. I'd tried other outdoor ride apps, but never used them for an extended period of time or for many weeks, so I don't know if it would get boring. I suppose if it was done well, it could be quite compelling, especially if the instructors mixed telling you about the area into the training. I looked at other "smart trainer" bike setups before I bought the Peloton, but opted for the Peloton because of it convenience, size, quality and the instructor led experience.

My only complaint with the ProForm is that the resistance doesn't really change until level 10 and then the max resistance is still pretty low (still okay for me, though). It could be the way I have the drive train adjusted. Also, I MacGuyvered an iPad holder that sits ABOVE the Proform control buttons and little screen, so I can adjust the resistance and see the bike display without moving the tablet. It took quite a bit of thought and searching for the correct book holder, mounting tape, and strap to do this, but the end result is really sturdy and works really well. I really like my Proform! Now I need to change my seat and put clip pedals on it to make it perfect. The ride is super smooth, and the bike doesn't make any noise at all, unlike my previous clackety Reebok Studio Spin Bike. And ... I bought it from a guy for 200 bucks (so I didn't get the iFit membership). I don't have $2500 bucks to pay for a spin bike, and I definitely don't want to pay 40 dollars a month for any type of membership to anything, lol. I bought the cheap 12.99 a month Peloton subscription and it is totally working for me. Thank you so much for this great review! I feel much better about my purchase now, and I actually learned a lot about my new bike!
I would love to see a review of a bike that sort of splits the difference- something superior to the Costco bike but less of an investment that the peloton
I was thinking about getting the pro form. Now my mind is made up. Heading over to Cosco now. Thanks!!!!
I finally received my Tread+ and Bike+ two days ago. The delivery guys were good. I configured the Tread first and only took a minute or two. HOWEVER, the Bike is DOA! It will not calibrate and I spent all day with brain dead support and my own googling. I did factory resets, upgraded software, etc. The sensor hardware are bad...the bike will not move past the calibration screen. Finally acknowledging this, Peloton support "approved a replacement FRAME only".... This is where, while still trying to be patient, I had to put my foot down. This damn bike hasn't been able to even get SETUP and they're treating it like a warranty issue? Hell no. I insisted on a replacement bike. After a long delay, they agreed to replace the bike and had me pick a F'ing delivery date in MARCH...They put me in a queue like I'm starting over. They won't budge. Meanwhile, my girlfriend and I bought the Tread AND Bike so we could workout concurrently...this has me so pissed I want to just send it back. I'm pretty disgusted. My Review of the Bike+ experience so far: F-
Thx, I asked for it
Bought a proform tour de France last week from Costco. It came with 2 weights and holders, just like the peleton.
The IFit Classes are no where comparable to Peloton! I just purchased a NordicTrack rower and received the iFit for 1 year, however I was so disappointed that there is no music in the classes!

I thought I would add to your very full review. Appreciate how thorough you are. However you are incorrect about the height / handle bar distance to the seat. You mention that you are not able to get the handles closer but you actually CAN as you can also with he Costco Bike. The design is such that if you need it closer you most likely need it higher as well- as the handlebar gets height it actually get closer because of the angle of the handle bars. HOWEVER, YOUR ARE INCORRECT WITH THE FOLLOW FEATURE ON THE BIKE PLUS: On the video you can actually see the lock but you failed to lock it so that the instructor could control and all you do is ride. I have tried both cycles and the quality is HUGE. The programming, software is SO MUCH superior to the on Peloton +. But thank you for your video on the two bikes.

But aren’t magnetic flywheels also used in many other pieces of equipment like rowers, elliptical, etc? I feel like other pieces we own also have this technology.
I don't really agree with adding a small to medium sized monitor directly to a piece of exercise equipment: it is much easier and better to simply position your bike in front your own big screen tv. What is needed on the bike is (1) an HDMI in and out port, (2) buttons to control display overlays. What I mean by display overlays is: you run your own content on your big screen, but the bike output places an informational overlay on that. No one really needs to pay for a cheap monitor when they already nearly always have a better one already in their home. Also when exercising, distinct discrete buttons are always better than touch screen activations IMO and far less distracting.

@@LMD2915 Outdoor glare would wash out most cheap lcd screens tho, the utility of doing it outdoors would probably depend on local temperatures and time of day. Rain would likely fry it also as they may not have designed it for outdoor use. Even if covered, condensation from morning dew could corrode the circuits. Actual outdoor lcds are a separate tech and are made especially for real bicycles and are properly weather proofed.

@@Zuckerpuppekopf all this is moot. I don’t have a TV outside, and I’m not going to put one there. My point is - not everyone has the luxury of having a big screen TV at hand. Yes, it’s preferable, but not always possible. And - I live in California, lol. Weather forecast for the foreseeable future is … sunny.

@@GrandmARKGamerLady But the vast majority of people do. World Bank stats show 2746 TVs per 1000 people in the US, and almost none of them are now CRT types...nearly all now are flat screen. In fact all commercial CRT TV sales ended by 2007. So it is indeed a moot point, as it is speculative fancy rather than reality to suggest someone may not have a flat screen TV already.
Can you use the Peloton App and be able to control the digital keypad on the ProForm? Or does it only work for IFIT App?

Do you know how much the I Fit program is after the year is over?
I went with the proform and can't imagine why anyone would do it differently. Peloton is simply just a ripoff in my opinion and a workout is what you put into it...

Hi there, great review and helpful to someone like me looking for a spinning bike that has all the little extras. I have one question: Does the Proform only link to an ipad or can it link to the Androids ( Like Kindle Fire). Let me know - Thanks.

The link is thru the iFit which is an app. Prob available in android too. You can use any device.
This is very informative. But honestly, I was never in the market for a Peloton. So how does the Costco bike compare to other bikes in its price range?

They definitely need to add are a sleep option.. you have to unplug and replug it everytime. It goes to some wallpaper screen but in the manual it says you have to unplug it to avoid electrical wear
Sooo if you’re like me and mainly use weights, elliptical, Running in place/hit the floor, and heavy bags for your normal workout and are looking for some versatility the Tour de France is fine
I ended up, buying a canyon Rd bike for over 1,500 and a wahoo smart trainer, so I get a bike for outdoors and indoors.

That’s the same thing I did a year ago. Unfortunately once I got out of the routine I haven’t been able to get back into it.
Thanks for comparing the two bikes. I was just at Costco last week and saw it there. Went online and you have the only true review of the CBC. Quick question- if you were about a foot and a half shorter do you think the profit would adjust well? I’m 5ft 1 on a good day. I’d go back to Costco to sit on it but just tested positive for covid sooo that’s not hiring to happen for a while and I’m afraid they will be sold out by then. It looks like the seat goes down quite a bit but it’s hard to say without seeing it in person. I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks again for the videos on this one!

Hi! I am 5’1 also and I wish I can adjust the saddle down one more notch bc it’s slightly too high. I came on here to see if there’s a solution to this since I’d hate to have to return it. Other than that prob, I love everything else about this bike!

It is strange not to have the resistance knob right in the middle where the other bikes put them. I guess if you don't want to shell out all that money for the Peloton this would be a decent alternative. I see Costco also sells a Pro Foam Tour de France CTC bike for $1000, currently sold out, Comes with a 10 inc screen and 2 3lb weights. That would be an interesting review, but you're running out of room.. and money :) .. thanks for doing these..keeps us up to date.
