Excellent product and excellent service from Rogue!!! Concept 2 makes the best stuff in the game and the Bike Erg is no exception. Easy assembly and great features!!! The PM5 monitor along with the C2 app is awesome. If you are on the fence about buying this, just do it!!! I liked my Echo Bike but I love the Bike Erg, with an upcoming rotator cuff surgery in the near future this thing will definit John815 · Rogue Fitness

It's very hard to find these bikes. I use it at the gym and wanted the same item. They had to send this across the country to get to me but it came fully refurbished and crated/shipped incredibly. Absolutely no issues. Hopefully it continues to have no working/mechanical issues, but it's been great so far and I believe I have a one year service warranty too. Julie · fitnesssuperstore.com
