Really good review, thank you for such an in depth and professional overview. Also really appreciated your in depth iFit review and screen walk through, I haven't seen any other reviewer do that.
A couple of questions: 1) Reviewing your workouts: For a given pre-programmed ride, does it show you a comparison of the goals vs what you achieved? I like to see whether I've achieved the goals of the workout, see where I missed. During the ride does it tell you when you're hitting the goals as you go? 2) Does it have ANT+ connectivity? I like to save all my workouts into one data store (regardless if there's a separate one from NordicTrack/iFit).
Looks like iFit Family Plan costs $39/mo, Are there any free options for having the screen display routes and for the unit to go up and down as you hit hills? Another question is - does Zwift work with it? Oh - can you coast? Or is this like a spinning bike and does it feel like a regular bike or a spinning bike?
No more live rides coming very soon due to lawsuit settlement with Peleton. Not an issue for me, just information purposes only. I love the outdoor rides. Learn so much
Can you share where you are seeing news about the live workouts going away? From all the articles we have read about the lawsuit, it doesn't say anything about live rides. Let us know, thanks!
When it wants to know your experience level is that just for the S27i or does it want to know my road bike experience or both? So when I buy the bike my experience level on it would be beginner but I have used a road racing bike for 4 or 5 years.
Thanks for watching! Yes, this bike is very adjustable so you should get a good fit on it. Our 6'5" reviewer is able to adjust the bike to fit him, too.
Thanks for the awesome review. Just one question if you don't mind, is the new saddle comfortable? If not do you have a favorite saddle that you would recommend to swap out that would be compatablie with this bike?
You can replace it with nearly any GEL bike seat from amazon. If you search for Steve Julien in his s27i review around 2:18, he talks about it. ruclips.net/video/uLB32a1cJtA/видео.html
To access iFIT which is the programming on the screen you have to pay for their subscription. You can still use the bike and the screen without a subscription. There's manual mode and a free iFIT workout without the subscription.
I have this bike and the seat is just so damn uncomfortable it's about impossible to ride any longer than 10 minutes. I'm trying to find an oversized seat that will fit this bike just so I can use it. When you pay over 3K for a bike you would think they would design a seat that covers more than just the crack of your ass!
I have the S27i. I like the bike but have some disappointment. The fan is crazy loud, like it is rubbing internally. Also the screen won’t turn left or right. It appears they tightened the nut that holds the screen mount too tight. They included a big wrench that fits that nut to adjust tightness of rotating screen but the nut is too tight too move. I contacted support about the fan and they said they will mail me a new screen because the internal fan cannot be replaced. Replacing the screen will no doubt fix the internal fan problem. However when I told support about not being able to pivot screen left or right they said that is normal. They are wrong. However I will address that problem after I get a new screen. The problem that bothers me the most however is the video. It pauses about every 5 seconds. The pauses are about 1/4 of a second or less. It is crazy annoying. I went online to research the problem and there are thousands of people with the same problem. There are even videos on the subject, even hacking videos to try to help with the video stuttering. I have crazy fast internet also, 850 Mb. So I know it is not my internet speed. I have tried 2.4 and 5 GHZ, nothing helps. As a side note my router is 5 foot from the bike. I will address this issue after I get the new screen. I hope it can be fixed since so many people have the same problem. Does your video pause every 5 seconds or so also?
Just one thing. Please go back to what you used to do when it came to things like the pricing. He used to speak such information aloud. Please continue to do so for the benefit of blind listeners. Also, try to keep your microphone at a fixed distance away from you. I have noticed that throughout the video you went further away and then closer. This causes your volume to fluctuate slightly. And finally, please be more descriptive about what you’re pointing at. Some of us can’t see the screen. Remember, blind people do listen to RUclips. I also would suggest taking out the music entirely. It’s annoying.

Thanks for watching!
What an excellent video! You sound like a normal human and not that over produced garbage and “RUclips voice” and editing. Bravo 👏🏻
Thanks for watching!
I could watch Kristen videos all day. Love the review! Might have to upgrade from my S22i!!
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you! Mine arrives on Tuesday - I'm so so so excited!
Thanks for watching and enjoy your new bike!

Very nice review. I thought the screen might be too big so I bought the S22i model.
Yes, another bike review! Thanks, TRG!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Great review; I’ve been waiting for this one!
Awesome, thanks for watching and we hope this was helpful!

Im 6'2" and 220lbs. Is this in the adjustable size range for this bike?

@@bonespro Thanks so much
To use the screen I should pay a subscription or monthly fee ? Thanks

The reflection on the screen seems like it would be very annoying
Great review, thank you!

If you’re riding position is correct it should l not be so bad. Positioning is everything in cycling
