    We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.

    Nice vid Travis. We had the original and then upgraded to the +. Both bikes felt exactly the same........we liked the "bells and whistles" of the + and am very happy with it. For those of you who just ordered a Peloton in general, be patient because it may take while to get it. It is definitely worth the wait.

    Just a thought. I went for standard bike. Arrived as scheduled here in the UK 5 weeks later. The screen is HD but for improvement 4 K would of been great. Bigger screen sounds good BUT this is also quite a big piece of equipment in your home so if you have a lot of space that's great but otherwise as a piece of art in one of your rooms it's more than big enough.
    I then use the app on my TV for other workouts so no need to swivel still syncs and on a 50 something inch screen with no need to cast and doesn't have to be alongside the bike.
    Outside of that changing the resistance is fun and is like changing the gears on your bike.
    Whichever one you get the eco system and experience is VERY good.
    Definitely a good life purchase! If you need a code let me know!
    For me I never use the speakers but hook up via blue tooth to my Bose headphones which have so far paired instantly. 👍🙂

    thanks for all your reviews; thought i'd follow up on my research -- in the past i had relied on long hiking [10 mi./day] and/or jogging/freestyle on a mini trampoline 20-90 mins./day to get in shape & maintain health. i ventured into the bike area due to weather constraints and a rambunctious dog who likes to playfight when i'm on the trampoline :) -- and after seeing how none of the real contenders for my $$$ had any sales on black friday, but rather seemed to price gouge as the holidays approached, then keep prices elevated, i revisited the cost-benefit analysis of all of the above plus treadmill options.
    conclusion: any of the bikes reviewed here plus a dedicated, non distracted workout session, assuming the prices were to fall at least a little, *would* be worthwhile, but not as profoundly effective as the benefit of exercising on a rebounder/trampoline for the same length of time at a teensy fraction of the cost. and so, i have become better at negotiating workout time with my dog. bikes are great, but i will have to wait to enjoy them. thanks again!

    Love my bike + but wish it wasn't so anti-garmin. I love my fenix 6 sapphire and would never replace that amazing watch with an apple watch. Garmin has a such a huge ego system for working out, running, biking and similar - its a shame Peloton has been so resistant to linking with Garmin.

      Can't argue with you there. While I know you wish the Garmin worked and I don't blame you, a workaround might be getting the new Scosche Rhythm+. It is not meant for constant wear so you could put it on while you work out. Get your Peloton stats but still wear the Garmin so you have those stats.

    Best damn review I've seen and because of it I went with the original as amazon has a $25 mount that allows the screen to swivel. I didn't think the extra $800 was worth having a feature to allow the instructor to adjust my resistance. And although, I have an apple watch the compatibility isn't that important. Regarding the sound I prefer to wear a headset when working out because it allows me to focus more and it also blocks out the noise.

    Travis, i think you missed two things 1) the plus is less stable because the monitor and monitor arm are much heavier on the plus so it rocks when riding... just slightly... and probably only noticeable to those that have ridden the bike but definitely a difference. And 2) on the plus the weight holder is plastic not steel like the original and it does not have the shoe holders like the original. These differences make me sad to have traded my original for the plus. These are definitely not improvements and are disappointing downgrades in the riders in my house opinions.

Love the software on the stryde being able to use multiple platforms of apps, but the monitor doesn't swivel. Like the peloton bike and can get a swivel for the original or cast, but I don't seem to get my money's worth like I would with the myx bike plus. What I want out of a bike is cycling and off the bike workouts. Meed a nudge towards one because I'm down the line on all 3

      So, I don't put the heavy usage into one bike like most because I bounce between so many bikes but... my MYX has never had a single issue and I have never questioned the build quality. I did have to talk to support a couple times (not bike problems) and they were super easy to work with. I don't want you to get a bike you think may be problematic, but everything you said makes me feel like the MYX is the bike for you. It has that balance you are looking for - quality screen, rotating screen, off the bike content, on bike content, scaled back in certain areas to provide a better price point.... It sure feels like that is the match for you! Good luck Thomas. I know these decisions are hard.

    Another great review video Travis! Thought I would update you. Have had my bike about a month. I am about 40 rides in. I am addicted! Very fun yet tough! Today I placed 20 out of 116 people in the class. So definitely improving! My only struggle which you may be able to give advice on is getting my cadence up when peddling standing. When standing (no matter what level of resistance) I can not get my cadence above 60-65. I am also still using cages. Would getting spd peddles and cycling shoes help or is this just something that improves with time?

    • @Learnwithtravis
      @Learnwithtravis  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you so much Mallie and so happy to hear you are loving it! Getting SPD pedals could help a little bit because you feel more connected and can comfortably push yourself harder. But my guess is technique is probably the more important piece. Do you pull up with your opposite leg when the other is pushing down? It is easy to think of this like riding a bike (right foot push down, left foot push down, right foot push down) but you are leaving a lot on the table when you do this. It feels weird at first but learning to pull up with the opposite foot helps support the cycling motion and more easily reach higher cadences. Also, when standing I sometimes finding myself leaning side to side too much and trying to push the pedal to the floor. This makes it harder to be fluid and keep your cadence up. I have found that keeping my core engaged, keeping my body centered, and almost trying to keep my feet floating instead of pushing down real hard helps. Not sure if that makes sense but focus more on the rotation instead of pushing down hard only. Last, try to dial in your resistance. Too light and it is hard to be fluid because you need more feedback. Too much and you obviously can't reach high speeds. Hope that helps! Also.... time... you get stronger and dial in your technique. 😀

    Nice vid! Noticed a good bit of wobble on the plus when you switched back and forth. Could be worth mentioning stability challenges or differences between the two. I noticed on your pan out that OG has 3 feet in front and + only has two. Could this be the wobble issue with the weight of the larger screen and extension so it can swivel? Or do you think things just need tightened down a bit?
    As always thanks for the informative comparison

    • @Learnwithtravis
      @Learnwithtravis  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you so much Julian! Honestly, I was putting a lot of my weight into the front for that shot so it looked like it has a lot of wobble. Of all the bikes I have tested, both of these have 0 stability issues for me. They are well grounded, feel very sturdy, and work with your body movement very well. Personally, I would not let the wobble factor into the decision because it is not bad in the slightest. 😀

I have had the bike since 2016 with no issues and thinking about upgrading but have heard the + seat slips down while riding and Peloton is “ out of stock” with replacement fix parts.

Then I saw your Bowflex VeloCore video and was considering them, so right now I'm at information overload. LOL.

    Curious for your opinion since you said both monitors are really great. I have only tried a peloton (original) in a peloton store, but the screen looked....old, like a 2012 LCD screen. Nothing like the color/motion/smoothness of like an ipad screen or something more modern. Did I just get a bad impression or does it differ for different generation of bikes? (Sound was also pretty disappointing but you mentioned that in the video!)

    • @Learnwithtravis
      @Learnwithtravis  3 роки тому

      Hmmm. I wish I still had my Peloton to go take a look. I was always impressed with it. The only time the quality seemed off is if it was still buffering for some reason. Maybe I didn't hold it to a crazy high standard though. I didn't treat it like a high end TV where I want the best viewing experience. I always thought it was more than enough for a very nice exercise experience. When I bounced between these two bikes, I never felt like their was a massive quality improvement from one or the other. Although, the Bike+ is newer and nicer so I am sure you are getting more.

    Hi Travis
    Got the bike+ and quite enjoying it but my question is, we are looking to purchase a strength workout machine. Wondering why you choose the tonal instead of the tempo studio?.
    If you would be able to make a video comparing the 2 . It would be wonderful 😊.

    • @Learnwithtravis
      @Learnwithtravis  3 роки тому

      For me, I had enough lifting experience that I was not worried about form feedback. I also wanted more resistance. I liked that the Tonal was more compact and easier to switch between exercises. I was ready to have a break from switching between free weight options. Nothing against free weights, they are great but sometimes moving your weights around between every workout can get old. I can see scenarios where each option would make more sense. To be honest, I am thinking about getting the Tempo but it will be a little while out as I have to wrap up some current videos.
