Pros: It seems reasonably well made but not up to Tunturi or Matrix standards. The seat is comfortable and half-hour sessions are a breeze, aided especially by the reclining seat back. The flywheel is a good weight making for a smooth peddle action. The built-in speakers are surprisingly good and are used regularly which I didn't expect.

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.
