NordicTrack bike is a direct competitor to Peloton, one of the most popular at-home studio cycle bikes on the market. It offers an interactive experience with a smart HD touchscreen and iFit workouts that include scenic rides, strength, and aerobics classes.
It also features a power incline that can be controlled by the virtual trainer and a 22-inch screen that rotates. Its iFit app integration includes trainer-led virtual bike classes that are filmed all over the world.
Adjustable incline
The NordicTrack Commercial S22i is one of the most expensive exercise bikes on the market, but it comes with a free month of iFit membership and several warranties. It also has a 22-inch HD touchscreen console and a wide range of fit adjustments.
The bike is powered by a quiet magnetic resistance system with a 32-pound weighted flywheel. It has 24 levels of digital resistance and can adjust to incline and decline as part of trainer-led workouts. The bike’s screen can tilt and rotate to provide a more immersive studio feel for iFit classes.
It also has a pair of 3-pound dumbbells for arm and core training. It ships with dual-sided pedals that are compatible with cycling shoes and standard toe cages. The bike has a compact footprint of 61 by 22 inches, and it can be placed in a small space. It also has a narrow Q-factor that makes it easier to maneuver. It also has front-mounted wheels for easy transporting and a small base that lets it be easily adjusted to level on uneven floors.
One-touch resistance
Nordictrack bikes are built to withstand a lot of wear and tear. They are sturdy enough to withstand a lot of pedaling, but they can also be used for other workouts like yoga or weight training. Their resistance levels are digital and can be adjusted with a button. They also have a quiet magnetic resistance system, which is ideal for home exercise equipment. This is a major improvement over friction resistance, which can be noisy and wears out faster than magnetic resistance.
All NordicTrack bikes come with 30 days of iFIT, which gives you access to studio classes and workouts from all over the world. You can also customize your iFIT trainer to adjust your bike’s resistance and incline. The bike has a 22-inch touchscreen that can tilt and pivot 360 degrees. The screen is easy to read and has plenty of controls, including one-touch quick resistance keys. This feature is very useful for high-intensity workouts.
iFit app integration
The iFit app integration feature of the NordicTrack commercial S22i studio cycle gives you a quality fitness experience like no other. It features a 22-inch touchscreen, auto-adjust resistance and incline, and a unique cycling experience that simulates real-world riding. It also offers a large range of workouts, including trainer-led scenic rides in various locations around the world.
The app connects to iFit equipment via WiFi or Bluetooth and displays workout stats on the console. It can also sync with other devices, such as your smartphone or tablet. However, if your phone or tablet stops working during a workout, you will have to disconnect it and restart the app.
The app is available for both iOS and Android phones. To get started, download the QZ application to your device and follow the instructions for connecting it to Zwift. You will need a separate device to run the QZ app, as it is not compatible with Nordictrack or ProForm machines that have a built-in touch console (like the S22i). To avoid Bluetooth dropouts, you can use the Wahoo Direct Connect protocol.
Comfortable seat
The Nordictrack S22i is one of the most modern connected exercise bikes on the market. Its 22-inch HD screen showcases iFit’s trainer-led classes for an immersive studio-quality experience. It can also automatically adjust the incline and resistance of your bike to match the workout loaded into its screen. The screen can also tilt and rotate 360 degrees to allow you to watch your workout from different angles.
The seat on this bike is made with a combination of high-density foam and gel padding. It is also waterproof, which means it will not deteriorate quickly due to sweating during a ride. The seat is also wider than the average bike seat, making it more comfortable for riders who are used to riding in a less aggressive position.
This machine does not come with a set of pre-programmed workouts, but the console does include a free one-month iFit subscription. iFit is a fitness streaming service that includes live and on-demand classes led by personal trainers.
