Love My IC7 Cycle
Smooth, quiet and dependable. Great design, workmanship and personal comfort with all the ergonomic adjustments that are possible. Very happy with my purchase of this state-of-the-att cycle.
The award-winning IC7 is the most advanced indoor cycle ever designed. An innovative two-stage drivetrain demonstrates the pioneering technology. Constructed without the large center pulley seen in traditional bike design, the IC7 has a lower, sleeker profile.
MAGNETIC RESISTANCE
Get quick feedback and make fast adjustments with the 300-degree resistance dial located directly under the handlebar.
ERGO-FORMED HANDLEBAR
Wider than competitors, the soft PVC handlebar provides enough support and easy positioning.
POLY-V & TOOTH BELT 2-STAGE DRIVETRAIN
Smoothly transfers extreme levels of torque and fast flywheel speed with immense 1:11 gear ratio creating the ultimate connection with each pedal stroke.
COMFORT PERFORMANCE SADDLE
Crafted with an opening at the heart of the saddle, this design provides an increase in rider comfort and performance.
155MM Q-FACTOR
A 155mm Q-Factor makes your indoor cycle feel more like an outdoor bike. It also increases safety, comfort, and efficiency.
ADJUST TO YOUR FIT
Change saddle height, saddle fore/aft, handlebar height, and handlebar for/aft to find your most comfortable riding position.
The IC7 console features a bright, self-powered, fully integrated full color TFT screen and a front LED display. This patented feature displays your training intensity and view valuable training data such as watts, heart rate, RPMs, exercise duration and resistance level. The five touch sensor buttons ensure a fast and intuitive operation of the computer, even during workouts.

PROs
-This bike measures wattage much differently than most indoor cycles. Read up on the Watt Rate Power meter, it's a game changer in precision and accuracy of training.
-I've been riding and instructing on the 2018 model IC6 which are also great bikes, but now with the newer TFT 2.0 console and the two-stage drive train, it has brought my riding experience to a whole new level.
- The addition of AVG watts during power tests (and the new 20min test) Bluetooth 5.0 for enhanced 3rd party app connectivity (check out IntelligentCycling) as well as data push/receive.
Potential CON:
This bike is a little louder than its lesser siblings (IC4/5/6) and some of the other big players in this category or price point, however, I would attribute that to the additional moving parts (two-stage drivetrain, idler pulley) For me, however- accuracy and precision > noise.
- Side notes:
I use a polar h10 for HR monitoring and it pairs either ANT+ or Bluetooth excellent device
The optional app works great for profile management, to simplify data entry every time you ride, as well as workout tracking and storing all of your data to reflect on your previous self and create a targeted plan for your future self. I have subscribed to the premium features which are nice if you don't have your own training plan/profiles, but i would keep it just for the additional HR monitoring overlay function to store within one app so i don't have to use multiple apps.

It is the perfect balance of man and machine. It is bio and ergo-sapien centric. I really love this bike !! I know you will too !!!
