Best Stationary Bike for Serious Riders
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: Craig S
from Ottawa, Canada
I want a stationary bike for hard workouts. At the same time, I don't care for instructors shouting encouragement in a simulated class. Everyone is different but group spin classes are demotivating for me.
I looked at several top end stationary bikes. Why top end? I have trouble finding bikes that generate enough resistance while remaining quiet. I am 61 years old, yet half the magnetic resistance bikes I have tried don't have high enough resistance.
Here are alternatives I looked at:
1. Bike trainers like a Wahoo stand ($CDN 2000 + bike). Not interested because they aren't very stable, take up a lot of space and are noisy.
2. High end stationary spin bikes ($CDN 3500 - 5000): Tacx, Stages and Wattbike - All have acceptable resistance but the price is too high for me. 60+ year olds buying top dollar bikes is just wrong IMHO.
3. Peloton ($CDN 3200): Manual mode is minimal - and surprise - top resistance level is too low for me.
4. NordicTrack S22i ($CDN 3200) - It is just like the S10i that I bought but with a bigger screen. The 22" screen is nice - but not worth an extra $1200. I won't be using iFit once my free subscription ends so a 10" screen is just fine.
I got my S10i for $CDN 2000 from Best Buy in early 2021. It was available for a better price in 2019 but exercise bikes are hard to come by one year into COVID-19. Don't get me wrong. The 10" screen is all I need. When and if you find a lower price, I think that would be an even better deal.

Manual mode let's me do intense 30 minute interval training. The NordicTrack incline feature is the best anywhere. I thought it was a gimmick but the change in incline with proportional increase is resistance is a real differentiator.
The NordicTrack has the best build quality, stiffness and smoothness of all the bikes I tried. If you want to ride hard and know how to create a structured workout program, you will be very happy with this bike. And- oh yeah - iFit is good, if that sort of thing appeals to you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product is discontinued so
I was not able to obtain information about it after purchase. It is a solid bike the problem is that it does not have Bluetooth which it seems odd for a 2500 dollar machine. Anyway, I am returning it and getting me the newer version directly from the manufacturer since bestbuy does not sell it S22i
