What owners single out
Customer service failures align with video reviewers' concerns about long-term reliability and support quality.
In their words
“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 bought this bike Dec 2020. Before Nov 2021, the monitor stopped working. Spent 5 months dealing with customer service and my service warranty expired. Now they want me to pay $150 to send a tech out. Highly recommend other bikes with better customer service for the price you pay. All and all the bike only lasted 300 miles.”
