NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle vs Echelon EX5-S
If you are looking for a high-tech smart Studio Cycle then both the NordicTrack S22i and Echelon EX5-S are perfect choices. Both bikes come with premium features and large rotating screens to bring your workout to another level. The design, maintenance-free magnetic resistance system, wireless heart rate monitoring, and large screens supported by on-demand workouts make the S22i and EX5-S two of the best studio cycles on the market.
One major advantage of the NordicTrack S22i is its incline/decline system, which the EX5-S does not have. NordicTrack comes with a 1-year membership of iFit while Echelon has its own app called “Echelon Fit” for live classes that you must pay monthly after first month.
We conclude that the NordicTrack S22i is a better choice with its incline/decline system and 1-year free membership, however, we think the Echelon EX5-S is also a great value if don’t want live classes and do not need extra challenging workouts with incline/decline feature.
