Today we compare the $2000 flagship NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle to the budget friendly Proform bike from costco that can be purchased for under $400. Both of these indoor bikes have automatic adjusting, digital magnetic resistance, and both of these bikes come with 1 year of iFit classes for free. So why would you drop thousands of dollars on a NordicTrack s22i studio cycle if you can simply buy the proform bike at your local costco for about the price of a ifit membership?

The NordicTrack s22i costs almost 5 times as much as the costco proform bike, and it's definitely better, but how much better is it? Today I am going to show you around these two bikes and show you all the differences between this proform tour de france cbc bike and the similarities as well, and by the end of this video I hope you better understand which is the better bike for your particular circumstances.

The iFit platform really shines in terms of its instructor led outdoor rides. On either the NordicTrack s22i or the proform bike you can do the same exact classes and follow along with the same exact rides all around the work. The difference is on the NordicTrack s22i you get a massive rotating screen attached to the bike for you out of the box. The proform tour de franc cbc from costco requires you to bring your own tablet or put your indoor bike in front of a tv to follow the classes. The costco profrom bike is bluetooth enabled so you can automatically adjust your resistance on the proform bike with a tablet.

At the end of the day the NordicTrack s22i is the flagship model in the companies lineup of indoor bike models, and it costs 5x as much as the costco exercise bike. The proform bike is a great way to get started with indoor exercise bikes and see if you like it without spending thousands of dollars right away. If you like outdoor instructor led classes in real world environments all around the world each of these bikes can offer you that same experience with ifit. If you want a indoor bike to do peloton rides on neither one of these icon bikes are going to be your best bet in my opinion. It would take a lot of work arounds to get a subpar pairing.
