Thanks so much and be sure to subscribe and check out my IC4 videos playlist. Also, it’s time for me to post a new IC4 review for 2024. IC4 is awesome!!!!
Great review 👍🏽 Female runner/gym goer who has been riding IC4 since summer 2020. IC4 is my 1st indoor bike and chose after comparing with numerous bikes, all price ranges. Totally agree with your review. IC4 definitely one of my best fitness investments. Added Garmin Vector 3 pedals to pair with my Garmin running watch, works flawlessly. Awesome build quality and a quiet ride.
@@IrixGuy ; After posting that, it motivated me to come up with a solution😂. How everything is setup in the room, a TV wouldn’t work well. I just cut a 1/2X2X12” piece of wood to act as a platform for the monitor. Drilled two holes underneath the wood, so it sits on those “hooks” on the original device holder. So far steady as a rock. Painted it black so it kinda blends in. Thanks for your reply!
Hi there, great videos they have helped me buy my bike. I brought Schwinn 700IC and it doesn’t connect to Bluetooth like yours so I can’t use it with any apps but I know you mentioned it’s great for apple fitness + which is what I wanted to use it with. I just wanted to ask is it as easy as putting my Apple TV on and selecting the Apple Fitness + app choosing a trainer then get on the bike and it will connect with my Apple Watch?
So Apple Fitness+ simply connects between Apple Watch & Apple TV. It doesn’t talk to the bike. Just select a cycling workout on Apple TV+ and ride! It’s great!

@IrixGuy Thanks for your videos! I am close to a purchase. I have a question for you. After owning the bike for almost 2 years now, have you noticed any creeks, wobbles, grinding in the peddles or any other kind of wear and tear you may expect over time? Your bike looks brand new to me, but I'm wondering if there have been any issues with the frame, pedals or other areas that may have some wear and tear. thanks so much! :)
That’s the great part…..no issues so far! Magnetic resistance with belt drive is a game-changer. I wipe it and the mat down with a wet towel after every ride. I’d buy it again without hesitation but I hope that it lasts forever so I never have to buy a new one. Link to bike, mat and more is in this video’s description, should you decide to order one. Thanks in advance and best of luck with your fitness goals in 2022 and beyond!

i am curious about the mat you used :) watching both videos of last year and this, it is link to the bike itself. This bike is i $749.99 in BestBuy as of todate! almost hitting the add to cart icon now!
Mat is the second link. If you don’t see it, please message IrixGuy on Facebook and I’ll happily reply with the direct link. You can find both the bike and mat within the link.
It's manual with the knob. Please subscribe to my channel and check out my IC4 videos playlist. Should you have any other questions, just ask and I'll try to post a video response.

I’ve had two bikes since 2020. IC3 and IC4. Bowflex tried fixing with no luck. The replacement they sent me is now squeaking. Hence why I’m on UA-cam trying to see if I can fix it😫😫
I linked it within this video’s description. Thanks in advance if you decide to order. Just some food for thought….what’s better…buying multiple exercise bikes for a lesser price that will likely fail prematurely and provide a lesser experience or this? Also, there is no need for a monthly gym membership fee or gas+time to and from the gym :) #IC4
Extremely quiet! Subscribe and check out my "IC4 Videos" playlist to try to hear it in action. It uses magnetic resistance (i.e. no friction pad touching the spinning wheel). #IC4
Had the IC3 and Bowflex replace it with the IC4 because the tech could not figure out the squeaking noise. Now the same noise is back in the new bike. I regret buying this bike !!
Wow, that is strange! I’m still enjoying my IC4 today and no pops, creaks, rattles or any other noises. It’s as close to whisper-quiet as a magnetic resistance exercise bike can be.
@@IrixGuy I absolutely love it when it works!!! I’m not sure if it’s just wear and tear on the bike. I do put a LOT of mileage on it, but if their tech could not figure it out, how am I? I’ve searched the the internet on what could be the problem and I can’t really find anything.😫 some say to replace the pedal
Thanks for making this video. Follow up like these are the most valuable reviews out there. I appreciate it.

Great to hear! IC4 is tough to Trump! #IC4
Thanks for the video!!! You’ve helped me choose this bike!
If you order and IC4, please check the link within this video’s description for it and accessories. Thank you in advance for your support :)
I love mine. I only wish they made the device holder a bit wider depth wise. Wanting to put a computer monitor on it, but mine are too thick to fit
Slap a SmartTV on the wall :). #Gamechanger

Is the resistance automatically adjusted when using zwift ? Or you have to adjust manually ? I want ir to a realistic experience
It's manual with the knob. Please subscribe to my channel and check out my IC4 videos playlist. Should you have any other questions, just ask and I'll try to post a video response.

Thank you for the review, I have read many reviews with people having issues with the pedal making noise or getting lose. Have you experienced that?
My pleasure and no. My IC4 is as smooth and quiet today as it was when I bought it and assembled it.
Lisa,
It will help if you put blue lock tight on the paddle threads and then re-tighten the paddles.
I’ve had two bikes since 2020. IC3 and IC4. Bowflex tried fixing with no luck. The replacement they sent me is now squeaking. Hence why I’m on UA-cam trying to see if I can fix it😫😫
Cool bike!
It's the best indoor exercise bike on the market today and it's quiet too!
I’m inch away from ordering this. Watching videos for 3 weeks now. Not cheap. But it’s pretty good

How quiet is it?
Extremely quiet! Subscribe and check out my "IC4 Videos" playlist to try to hear it in action. It uses magnetic resistance (i.e. no friction pad touching the spinning wheel). #IC4
Is it worth Bestbuy's current price of $499?
Check the link within this video’s description. I linked the IC4, mat and accessories there. Thanks in advance!
Ride that bike every day. 15 minutes with resistance
Had the IC3 and Bowflex replace it with the IC4 because the tech could not figure out the squeaking noise. Now the same noise is back in the new bike. I regret buying this bike !!
