My wife and I have had the Nordic Track S22i and completly in love with it. I use the outdoor trails, while she likes the studio classes. We've owned it for a year.... Thank god we ordered it right before the pandemic and were able to get a great workout while the gyms were closed. I'd def recommend the S22i to anyone, who wants a great product.

Your review helped me pull the trigger on a NordicTrack S22i to help lose weight, 3rd day so far and I’ve already put 22 miles on it. Thank you!!

FYI: the family plan for the nordictrack is $40/month. This includes 5 riders total (I think, might be 4). But the individual plan is $180/year. They put you on the family plan automatically and you have to call them to change it to the individual plan.

BEST BIKE COMPARISON YET!!!! I’ve been trying to figure out which bike is best for me and you’ve done a really great job at explaining and DEMONSTRATING each bikes offerings. Now I plan to watch your other videos to compare a few other options I’m looking at. Thanks for this!!! Much appreciated

I have 2 S22is and love them. One has almost 4500 miles in three years. I've replaced the bottom brackets on both but would have done so on my real bikes much sooner. Very easy to work on. The coaches and trails are incredible. Pitting your times against literally thousands of folks around the world is the best motivator.. and you can ride in your VANS!!!

I went with the Nordic due to the outdoor experience and the incline/decline options.

We have a Nordic Track and love it. We’re avid mountain bikers, and this is great for us for the long dark snowy northwest winter.

All your videos of the Nordic Track S22i studio and its comparison with the Peloton Bike Plus are great. Very useful to make a decision as to which bike I am going to get. Despite the negative associated with the Nordic Track, I am leaning towards that option as what appeals most to me is riding outdoor trails. Thanks Great job!

Thankyou!!! I’ve just cancelled my peloton order and ordered the Nordic as I really wanted the google maps features. I can’t wait try use it!! Great comparison just what I needed before it was too late!!

Thanks man, appreciate the unbiased real review. I went with the S22i, and used the link to support the channel. Cheers

Your summary at 28:30 makes the decision so much easy to choose the right bike. Outdoor feeling = S22i Vs Studio class = Peloton. The dilemma for me was finding out an authorised opinion about the nearest-real-ride vs spin-static-bike… I love riding uphill so u just helped me in feeling comfortable with my decision. Thank you! 🙏🏼

I have the nordictrack s22i, the only thing I wish it had is adjustable handlebars so you could slide it forward and back,and also rotate the bars more toward you. Other than that I've had great performance from my bike for the first full year!

I’ve been waiting weeks for this. I love your videos and I’ve been watching that NordicTrack box in your apartment for ages. I’ve got the s22i and love it. There’s no peloton in Australia and I just bought 3 years of iFit in Black Friday for $59 on Amazon. Also, just today iFit have sorted out their music law suit and all the popular modern music is back!!! No more elevator music

Ive heard and seen reviews where people say the iFit app is terrible and music so outdated with classes. Also to be clear,I have heard that this Nordic Bike does NOT have bluetooth connectivity, so you have to find a hack workaround. Other than that, like he said depends what you are into, outdoor ride experience and incline decline gimmick, or Peloton with the Better App navigation and experience plus superior indoor spin classes. the regular Peloton Bike is now discounted to under $1600.

I love this unbiased review! Each bike seems to have excellent features that would appeal to certain users. This helped me decide to cancel my nordictrack order (which was not easy or cheap) and go with the Peloton instead. I’m really happy with my decision. Thank you for doing such in depth reviews so we can make informed decisions. :)

Great review, both bikes are awesome. I went with the S22I because it has 35 on board programs so your not forced to pay for IFIT. I've also seen a video of how to add Netflix, not saying I will but pretty cool. The auto adjust incline and decline feature is really cool, plus I like the simulation of outdoor riding. They even installed a fan.... I've heard the Peloton instructors are awesome as well as the community so it was tough but went with the S22I. Its being shipped as I type, cant wait! Thanks for your review.

Exactly what I needed. Much better than other comparison videos. THANKYOU

S22i now does have bluetooth to connect airpods, etc. That upgrade/enhancement happened about mid-December. Pretty nice upgrade. I never use the built-in speakers. Also, people say the incline/decline is a marketing gimic, but I really enjoy it, especially on some of the Tour de France, etc... rides ... feels real to me.

The Nordictrack bikes have been suffering badly with reliability issues. Mine broke after 3 rides. Terrible customer service when I tried to get a repair.

Really great review, I'm enjoying your content. I would add to the NordicTrack as someone who is a user and really loves the bike, they do have some quality control problems. I bought the bike earlier this year and I went for about 4 months where I was not able to use the bike due to the resistance not registering, and the inclined decline feature not working. They needed to order me a new circuit board which took about two months to receive. I then held to wait another three or four weeks for a service call. The only other issue I've had is about every 25 rides, I will have the monitor shut down and restart and I ride, which is upsetting. My understanding is that NordicTrack has some quality control issues more than other bikes. With that stated when the whole thing works, I really love the bike. I'm also likely going to be purchasing the Costco ProForm rower and my membership with NordicTrack will extend to that ProForm machine making the membership that much better of a deal.

I like the nordic track for the incline/decline and the outdoor experience

So glad I came across your channel. Great in depth comparison. Keep it up.

I bought the s22i using your link. So glad I found it too I was able to spand the cost in to 5 payments! I love the outdoor workouts, that and breaking it into 5 payments sold me. This is going to be perfect with my conqueror challenge events!

just got the Nordic track!!! Thank you for doing this review, I was leaning towards the Pelaton but the outdoor rides look way sick on the Nordic!!

The s22i has been update since the video and it has improvements. It doesn’t have a on/off button and the speakers don’t look like this

This is one of the best comparison videos you’ve done and definitely the best comparison video done on these two bikes anywhere. Thank you!!! Having said that, I went with the Bike+ and got it (finally) delivered on 12/7/20 after many ups and downs of their delivery commitments. I’m really enjoying the rides on the Bike+ and I believe I’m getting a better workout than in an actual gym spin class, but it’s been 9 months + since I’ve been there. One of the reasons why I went with the Bike+ over the Nordictrak S22i is the maintenance issues on the S22i. Perhaps you can address that topic in a future video to dispel the myths and facts? Again - thank you!

I have used both. I like the s22i a little better.

Excellent Review!! We went with the S22i and feel better about our purchase after seeing your unbiased review!

Thank you so much for commenting on your height! I am 6'5 too and have been putting off purchasing one of these because i was concerned they may be too small

I was sold on the Peloton until I saw this review. Definitely gonna go with the S22i now!! Thanks for the great review!!!

Peloton had $600 off for week of black friday. Grabbed the non plus model with all the accessories for 1225 plus tax. Can't wait to try it out. Obviously the bike plus is better, but didn't want to spend the extra 1k.

Nice review! Summary: The Nordic is a bit more silent until you use any of the features that make it unique (fan, hill simulation). Lol. Also it feels a bit like the Peloton is the iPhone and the Nordic the Android... Not only from the price perspective but also from the "how much they cared to do smooth out the details"... I mean the speakers at the Nordic do work but... well. They are just added there so they could make a tick at that checklist item.

Great video! I like the s22i for its outdoor training but it's getting hammered with quality issues. Not sure what to do.

Great head to head review. Can't wait to see the software head to head review.

Thanks, very helpful, I went with the Peloton Bike+.

I am considering buying/investing and really find your videos helpful. Thank you.

I really needed this comparison. I love that you are tall. I am 6 ft 1.5. This helps a lot.

Something else to consider, current NordicTrack S22i Studio cycle orders are also delayed. I am in week 8 waiting for my delivery. It's due to be delivered next week but those dates keep getting pushed out. I ordered the bike in late November. One big reason I chose NordicTrack was the significant shipment delays projected by Peloton.

Your review is so in depth, thank you! I’m struggling with deciding what bike I will eventually buy. Like you, I’m on the taller side at 6’4”. Now that I’ve had a second knee surgery I really need a bike but it seems that there isn’t a bike that has it all quite yet.

Thank you for your unbiased and really informative review. We decided on the NT S22i and used your link to throw back a little love!

Thanks for your review. I went with the Peloton bike+

Without doubt the best review ever . Honesty for me was the key very informative and amazing use of bad language

I am a avid studio spinner (at least before the pandemic) and recently purchased the S22i - unfortunately the power adapter did not work and I had to replace the bike - the S22i is poorly designed bike - it is an unstable bike when riding hard in 2nd and 3rd positions - the wobble is terrible which is due to the incline/decline design and being very top heavy - the wobble is so bad that u cannot watch the screen (yes it is assembled correctly and in fact I had their technician at my house to examine it and he took video to send to Nordictrack). Other comments, the screen is NOT very responsive to touch - the bars do not adjust horizontal (Soulcycle bike does BTW) - the S22i does NOT have a switch (Nordictrack wants u to unplug the bike after use - this is stupid) - I would NOT recommend the S22i - a few other things, Nordictrack’s customer service has been terrible - sound quality from the screen is poor, “studio” iFiT classes are not very good. I am returning the replacement S22i.

Watching the video, you seem to struggle more on the Peloton at maximum resistance. It looks harder for you to do. So, just by watching I’d say the Peloton is harder. I like the incline/decline feature on the S22i, but I’m worried about it breaking. Worried a lot. Plus, I’m not a fan of the noise. It’s such a hard decision.

Excellent review. Just had my first experience with a Peloton at a Hilton I was staying and love, love, loved it! However, I also have a NordicTrack treadmill that's about 15 years old and runs like a champ. The mediocre sound system is easily remedied by the great stand alone bluetooth speakers I already have that would blow away any internal speaker system anyway - so that advantage in my mind is a wash. Adjustable incline, better outdoor biking experience and a $750 Facebook Marketplace price? It's NordicTrack for me.

Love the review and it diffidently helped sway my purchase. But one important side note; I love my Shimano pedals too. But Peloton voids your warranty with any pedals except there own.

I’m a repair tech and I can tell you I get SO many more calls for NordicTrack. That goes for all of their stuff. And their tech support is bloody awful. I do think peloton is overpriced junk too, but at least it works most of the time.

You should do another peloton vid. They just updated their outdoor ride selections.

Can you please review the bowflex velocore? Thank you and stay safe.

Thanks for the great video! On NordicTrack, can you do scenery riding without instructor ? Like having a nice quiet ride with no instructions ...

One thing that stood out for me with the instructor led studio classes just from your video, the background with the iFit classes (to me) is horrible. That crazy looking rave background would give me a serious headache and be very distracting. The Peloton class, it's the instructor in a studio. All your focus is brought to the instructor. Great video though comparing the two.

Have you ever tried a maximum sprint effort on both bikes? What watts do they register up to? How stable do they feel? Thanks! Keep up the helpful content.

Thanks! Helped me decide. Nordic track for me.

It was my understanding that the Peloton Plus now supports iFit. So, you have the best of both worlds with the Plus, in terms of the instructor lead trainings and studio classes. Is this correct?

nordic track is a better product overall....however i am concerned about my knees........incline/ decline usage overtime will have a toll on my knees......also for a spin bike, .......you get maximum traction when you wear cleats....nordic track has only clips...In addition, i have a road bike.....i can hop on local bicycle trail when it is nice outside......the only thing that is a major drawback with peloton is the price tag...however the features i am getting(better resolution, wider screen, latest technological updates, sleek , chic styling of bike) makes it worth it

NordicTrack: better bike and better real-world biking videos Peloton: better "spin class" videos because of the gimmick with LIVE classes and live leader-board. I personally like the gimmick of the Peloton the most.. just wish it was built like the NordicTrack probably won't ever commit to buying it because of this reason.

Wow I’m leaning towards the Nordic but they both seem great so I still can’t decide lol… so does Nordic have an actual internet browser to use like the peloton does? If so then then I’d go with the Nordic because I love the auto incline feature

I bought my bike directly from Nordic Track. Shp/hndlg got it down from $100, to $50 Also, got free financing for 2 yrs and 4 or 5 yrs of Ifit membership for $400 had the bike for 5 months and love it. Better than Peloton IMO

Great review, one thing i would like to know is how the seats compare in comfortability.

Do you have a video comparing the ifit to peloton app?

Great summary of the two bikes. thanks!

S22i all the way! Peloton feels just like a standard bike in my opinion. For its price range without the incline/decline and not to mention the fan and the scenic view following the trainer outdoor is superb. It feels so real just like the Hydrow Rowing. definitely the S22i for me. It’s super smooth and extremely quiet. I just can’t see myself spending $2000.00+ for a bike that doesn’t have more features and looks like Schwinn IC3. Just my opinion. At this time, the S22i and Hydrow are the only machines out there worth spending money. They mimic realistic feel outdoor and unique features. If you gonna spend $2000.00+ might as well get the features you won’t get from other competitors and more. Good review tho.

Thanks for your review can you do a video on what shoes and pedals you recommend thank you!!! 👍

Nice comparison video! Just ordered Peloton bike +. Question! What cleat are you using? I never saw that kind of cleat pedal and shoes. Link for it??

Thank you so much for such a thorough review. I just subscribed to your page. Do you notice the screen wobbling a lot when out of the saddle? I'm deciding between the S22i or S15i and was wondering if the screen wobbles too much on the S22i since it's so big. Thank you!

just wanna say peloton finally added outdoor instructors for bikes and treds

Thank you for your thorough review! Decided to go with the Peloton bike (not plus), since I'm new to bike riding as an exercise and it does EVERYTHING I would need! Went into a Peloton store to get further info on the bike. With the deal, paid $1,800 including 2 shoes, mat with a $100 coupon towards the purchase of 1 shoe😎

I have the Nordic track. Broke after 6 months. Customer service is terrible. Wish I would have went peloton

I am going with the Peloton. Gracias.

The max incline with max resistance on the Nordictrack looks more awkward than the Peloton. At the gym, I kind of lean down on the bike with my arms as resistance increases. Is that not possible on the Nordictrack?

There is absolutely no comparison between the two companies behind the two bikes. I have had a peloton bike and NordicTrack treadmill for a couple of years now. Peloton...very few issues all resolved promptly by Peloton. NordicTrac treadmill has had nothing but major issues the entire time making it unusable most of the time. Dealing with customer service is beyond a nightmare. I am not some ass that just looks for a reason to complain. Do a tiny bit of research and you will see NordicTrack has a definite reputation for poor quality and even worse customer service.

could you tell me about why fly wheel weight doesnt matter?? I was told the higher the better - thanks

@tailhappytv thank you for the GREAT video review. I have one question. At 5:19, what is the specific model shoes you got because the ones in the link in comment do not look the same and the ones in the video are sweet. Thank you again as I was on the fence w this decision and I went with the S22i and am thrilled w it. The 1yr iFit gives my wife and I a chance to see if we “need” or even like classes, but we wanted a top feature bike that will ride without and your review sealed it for us.

Great breakdown. Very thorough. Thank you.

Great Video! Keep up the content. Quick question: If I just wanted a bike similiar to these but without the screens what would you recommend. I don't need a screen. (TV in the future gym) I would like to just subscribe monthly to different services instead of being stuck with either of these.

I want the iFit Scenic rides and the peloton studio classes!! I want to buy a NordicTrack or Pro form bike but I heard their customer service is HORRIBLE

Great comparison! I'm going to check to see if you compare any recumbent bikes. Thanks I've been told that iFit has levels 1- something. This past year I've had knee and hip replacements so need to start very basic with high hopes to get into the higher levels. How would you describe Level 1?

Can you post a link to the shoes and pedals you use?

Great review, I found this very helpful, thank you very much!

Would love to hear your thoughts on zwift. Here in Canada a high end wahoo kickr setup that you attach your own bike to is about 2500. The peloton is 3500 here. Having said that I’m looking for a indoor zwift bike and wondered which bike you would recommend for that purpose. Thx.

Flywheel only has a great impact when it comes to cadence

NordicTrack S22i , it is worth for you to have. It is a very great Bike for you to do exercise.

S22i is a can’t miss! *from exp. if that helps 👍

Amazing comparison thank you for this 👍🏽

If I can stick with it I might have to get the Nortic track bike after I’ve used my sams club proform bike for awhile. I want the incline part lol.

The outdoor rides are so me damn why can't Peloton add this , really holding me up from buying a bike.

What are those cool black camo shoes?

Folks are primarily purchasing these bikes for the software and support imho. I think this is where peleton reigns Supreme. Similar to the iPhone effect.

THE BEST REVIEW!!! No need to look elsewhere

Amazing video!!! Thank you!! 🙌🏼 I’m sold!

I need to check my S22i. I didn't think I could raise the handle bar height. 👀

The peloton bike just looks so much better…

So, here's my questions: does Peloton update their different workouts? I've got a different Nordictrack and I'm finding that the variety of workouts has declined year over year. I'm also wondering if both of these have connectivity to download metrics (ANT+) so as to store all exercise data in a single repository? Are there any actual "live" workout sessions and do you get to compete against other people to help encourage your workouts? Thanks for the advice.

Best review I’ve seen on these bikes

Great review, thanks!

10:36 - Please update. Peloton has just cut the Scenic Rides as you see here in your video.

Compare with Proxima Fitness bike

I love the destination rides on my proform with the IFIT program. Need recommendations for pedals and shoes. I think I should switch out my pedals on my proform bike to help with my foot position.

Very nice! I would like to ask how comfortable are the seats? I cracked my tailbone a few years ago and I still have pain every now and again so I didn't know if this was comfortable or not.
