Assembly is simpler than some bikes but still takes time.
Console doesn’t show advanced metrics like power output used in Peloton classes.
Not as quiet as higher-end belt systems, though still very smooth.
These factors represent the most critical aspects that will impact your satisfaction with this product.
I am an outdoor cyclist and figure this bike has now seen the equivalent of around 800 miles on a road bike. I have been reading reviews and it seems that there is some quality inconsistency -- mine is great; other folk have problems.
First, the bike was delivered on time and in good condition. Unfortunately, a couple parts were not correct. I contacted customer service and they sent out the correct parts right away.
