The bike is perfect for indoor rides and spin classes. This bike is commercial quality and feels very solid. It is easy to move around with the rear handle and wheels. I use it for spin classes with Apple fitness. I connected a Garmin heart rate monitor to my Apple Watch and phone and use the ICG app to display the zones and the apple fitness app for the instructor. The ICG classes are OK but I haven’t tried the premium features since I already pay for apple fitness+ to use with my concept2 rower.

The resistance setting is easy to use and I like the color by coach. I’m still dialing in my FTP to get the zones displayed properly. It’s nice to have the color code targets to go with the spin class. All out = red.

I bought this about a year ago so I could avoid the gym and I still love it! This bike is the same brand but a cheaper option than the model in the spin classes my gym offered and I am so thankful I decided to go with this version. My husband assembled the bike and said it was super easy to put together. The options to customize the seat and handlebars makes for a perfect fit for riding and the tablet holder is a great feature to sign into any virtual spin class from the platform of your choice. I also like that you can either clip into the pedals or wear regular shoes, so anyone can jump on and get in a good workout regardless of the type of shoe. Oh, and the levels of resistance go from 0-100, so you have the ability to fine tune your levels throughout your workout.

The only thing I don’t like is the placement of the dial to adjust the resistance. I’m pretty short, and since my seat sits lower, my knees sometimes bump into the resistance dial and abruptly changes how much weight I’m pushing against, making the pedal strokes jarring when it happens. This is only a minor issue though as it’s easy to readjust.

Overall, this is one of the best fitness purchases I’ve made and love the smoothness of this machine. I highly recommend!

It just feels great and so glad I picked this up. I almost gave this a four because of the following weaknesses:

- Installation directions suck, find the video to help install

- Its German so tools need to be metric except seat where it's a 1/2-inch nut

- Blue Tooth connection not working yet

- The wheel is not dead quiet

But overal it is just solid!

I bought this bike because it was similar to the one I used at a local gym. Though the sizing and handlebars were a bit different, the ride is smooth. There's only two issues I have with the bike: 1. the adjustment slips. After the first few weeks, I noticed if I set the resistance to 40, it slips to 39, etc. It hasn't ruined my ride, but just noticed the slight change. 2. the bike squeaks a bit when riding (standing above 40+ resistance). The sounds mainly come from the handlebar and seat stems. I haven't thought about putting any lubricant in those areas (not sure if it would void the warranty). Otherwise, I believe this has been a great purchase and look forward to future rides. I'll still leave this at 5 stars as I don't see these issues as major items at this time.

The CX is an excellent bike it is a smooth ride feels like I’m at the gym and I am able to video my rides. Great for home office breaks.

Things that could be improved is the noise of the wheel and the color monitor doesn’t work unless you adjust the settings.
