What owners single out
In their words
“We bought this bike at the beginning of the pandemic and have been very happy with it. It's quiet and a smooth ride and the ability to set exact resistance is so helpful. The gym at my work had the IC7s and the IC5 has been great for home use and less expensive than the IC7.”
