Comfort (seat & ergonomics)3.0
This is a great bike. Very smooth and quiet for riding. I found the subscription for iFit a little on the expensive side but the video content and rides across different locations are good. And there is plenty more content then just riding. Downside: The fan is a little noisy but not terrible. The screen has a little movement when peddling fast but again nothing terrible. I am a harsh judge but re rebelsport.com.au
