Although I am very much enjoying the bike 5 months, in the criticisms of the bike are valid.
It’s not cheap, and after a hefty purchase you have another expensive subscription that you have to pay for, otherwise the bike is sort of (?) useless. Other much cheaper options with more usability and portability.
I don’t have experience with too many other stationary bikes, especially at this level but the bike feels solid and well put together. For me, it could look great in any room which is a plus, the setup is relatively easy and for my particular preference this was the perfect bike. I tried cheaper options like the wahoos, iOS apps, zwift, and if you’re already a hardcore cyclist or are looking to be one…I don’t think this bike is for you. Especially if you care about accuracy in terms of wattage, output, or already know your FTP. These are things that aren’t too accurate here. If you enjoy guided workouts with classes that are very motivating or like feeling like you’re working out in a group without the actual stress of being around people…I think this purchase is a no brainer. There’s a tremendous amount of courses, helpful trainers, statistics to keep track of, multi week programs to keep you motivated…I enjoy the bike and what it offers, even with all its downsides as in my cursory research there was nothing that did what the peloton did. Your mileage will vary. Always do your research and set your expectations accordingly or you’ll end up with a 1500 clothes hanger.
