BODYPOWER SP.IC20 Indoor Studio Cycle

Product Information

It’s a (slightly) less expensive connected exercise bike, but the build quality is similar to that of Peloton.

Our yellow jersey definitely goes to the Schwinn IC8 because even though it’s not officially a connected bike, its excellent connectivity and compatibility makes it very easy to train with a third-party app, while the bike itself is an absolute dream ride in terms of smooth resistance and excellent bike geometry to suit all shapes and sizes of riders.Pitched as ‘budget friendly equipment’, Roger Black Fitness has a few exercise bikes to choose from but this premium option sticks to a decent budget.

We really liked the well curated online content and outdoor scenic rides when we originally tested echelon’s EX-5s and they also work well with the brand’s entry level offering.When it came to the connected bikes, we also made sure we scheduled plenty of live classes with the bike’s online instructors, as well as sampling a selection of any other available on-demand content, so we could assess the quality for beginners, intermediates and advanced cyclists.
