This Black Friday we are seeing a lot of firsts and closest — and right now we are adding one of our favorite exercise bikes from NordicTrack, down to its lowest price and one of the best Black Friday deals around.
While I am a Peloton fan and user, Select editorial director Gideon Grudo decided against it once the pandemic forced him to stay at home: Instead he went with NordicTrack's high-end S 22 i Studio Cycle, which offers a lot of the same things you would expect from an at-home exercise bike. It has one unique feature: the incline decline.
When the virtual rider I am following starts climbing a hill somewhere in Europe and my bike inclines to match them, I am fully immersed and focused, Grudo told me. It is like nothing I've ever experienced on an exercise bike. The deal cuts 25 percent off of that because of Grudo's S 22 i for $2,000. To evaluate the quality of this deal, and all other deals we recommend, we use price comparison tools like Honey and CamelCamelCamel to make sure shoppers are getting the lowest price over time and across retailers.
The lowest price is ever, according to CamelCamelCamelCamel.
In our guide to at-home exercise bikes, Eric Ridings, a Chicago-based certified personal trainer, said that if he had to choose his top choice, it would be the NordicTrack Bike. He said that it is a quality product at a good price, and the trainers and coaching involved are excellent. The bike has a 22 inch touchscreen and offers studio sessions on demand. The iFit trainers are able to control your bike's resistance, incline and decline in live interactive classes.
