Picked up on warehouse deals – acceptable rating. Missing a bit of hardware (screws) and weights (not relevant for me) and one bit of plastic trim broken (not an issue) but otherwise mint. Purchased for less than a 3rd of the price or just a 3rd of the price after taxes. A steal.
Bearing that in mind, do I think this is worth a 3rd of the price or the full price. Yes in both cases. I have a sister company spin bike I picked up which has similar elevation functionality for a similar price and will retain both.
The ifit is worthwhile, fully immersive and a lot of fun to distract you from thinking you are home. I’m not a studio cycle guy but prefer the outside rides. The picture quality is amazing and the fully interactive aspects of the rides are a lot of fun.
Overall, a great warehouse deal and a great bike even at full price.

Solid product. Very heavy construction. Nicely designed. Appreciate the incline/decline feature-very leading edge. However the quality control is not optimal for such an expensive product, and assembly is a bit niggly. My pedal came off despite reefing on it with all my strength during assembly. The seat post slides down when you sit on it because the knob assembly is off-centre and needs replacement out of the box. Not impressive. Would be a great product if they could address the quality control. Still waiting to see if customer service is attentive as there are a number of reviews saying it is very poor as well….

I really needed to add some cardio equipment to my home gym and since I enjoy biking during good weather, I thought the S22i would be great to train on during the cold weather months.
I did my research and like most came down to the Peloton and NordicTrack as choices. I really thought I would buy the Peloton as they flood the television with so many ads, I didn’t even realize there WERE other bikes.
Once I found the NordicTrack S22i and compared the price along with the features, I was sold by, auto-resistance, auto-incline/auto-decline and the non-studio trainer led rides, all things Peloton doesn’t offer. I was further sold by the fact the bikes specifications were a max 350lb rider, which told me the bike was built well and the fact it took a standard saddle and standard pedals. It allowed to me have the same seat and pedals I use on my outside bikes.
I ordered the S22i back on 11/6/2019 and had it in a few days. I’m a DIY type of person so the install was easy and I liked the fact I would know all bolts were tight and everything was assembled correctly. The only mistake I made was not paying the extra $19.95 to Amazon to place it in any room, so ended up hauling that heavy #*#*#* up a flight of stairs, yes it’s build well with lots of steel 😀
I’ve been training on the S22i since November and as of yesterday 2/18/2020 I got back on my mountain bike and road 18 miles on a trail, fitness has been greatly improved and very happy with the results.
The trainer led workouts have inspired me so much that I’m actually taking a trip out to Moab, Utah to ride the mountain bike trails in March. Nothing like training virtually on the trails you will be riding in person!
I’ve seen some negative comments about the bike, many are due to folks that don’t understand their WiFi has to be stream ready and you need to put a high quality surge protector on the S22i just like you would any high priced electronic device. I also see reviews by novice riders about saddle adjustments, pedal replacement, etc. All that comes with experience, no need to be negative because your knees hurt because your seat is too low.
I also see iFit making a significant investment in their software, recently adding a leaderboard like Peloton and working on a more granular search function for their workout library. They have even been conducting polls about adding live studio classes, not really my cup of tea but would try them if offered.
I certainly have had a positive experience with iFit and the S22i, it’s my first connected fitness device and now I’m thinking about a Nordictrack/iFit treadmill to do more walking, running and hiking like climbing Mt. Fuji!

Just got it from amazon the price was good around $1636 with Tax and Delivery So far it is good very solid made and after five rides not any problems would definitely recommend it you can get it for a good price. Should make winter riding a lot more fun

Très impressionné par la qualité de fabrication, douceur de roulement et que dire des programmes qui font en sorte que le vélo s’ajuste en résistance et en inclinaison de façon automatisé. WOW très motivant un incontournable à avoir dans sa salle de gym. Je recommande à tous un sans faute! De plus surprise !!! Abonnement IFIT 1 an gratuit !! Le meilleur achat effectué jusqu’à maintenant!!

I did a lot of research and chose the Nordic Trac as I wanted the realistic experience of doing a road bike ride. I decided to order thru Amazon given the friendly return policy (vs. directly from Nordic Trac where you have to pay $$). I opted for the $20 delivery indoors to the room, which was worth it as its quite heavy/bulky.
The setup is straight forward- there is a video on the NT website to follow. All of the screw holes line up, but I did have a problem getting 1 screw to seat correctly to screw in- took me about an hour to resolve this. But other than that assembly was pretty straightforward.
The bike is as advertised. Takes a little bit to find the right seat/handlebar adjustments but once you do its great. I opted for the 15 inch screen which is plenty large for my needs. The automatic resistance/incline changes has worked great. The fan is also quite useful- I have the bike in my basement right next to a window I can open, however once I get going I turn the fan on low and it helps. The bike does not have a power switch, so I ordered a surge protector outlet where I can just press a button to turn the machine on. My only complaint – on the roads when you are going downhill you coast to catch your breath – on this bike you have to keep pedaling albeit its much easier when going downhill.
As for iFIT, its pretty good. I do a combination of instructor led road bike rides, along with google map rides that either they have created or I create myself. The instructor rides are true videos with narration, where they will tell you the target cadence you should be shooting for. This is quite helpful when they are doing intervals in the workout. I like the length of the workouts also – most are around 30-40 minutes, with some being longer. If I have an hour planned i’ll do 1 instructor ride followed by 1 google maps ride.
The google maps rides adjust incline according to the terrain, however its not always lined up perfectly with the image. Every 3 seconds or so you get a new image- a lot of them were taken pointing backwards from a car which is a little annoying as you are on the other side of the road. In addition occasionally you will get a random picture of something crazy inserted in for 1 of the shots. They do have interesting rides- i’m just finishing a 10 ride set of colleges in the US which is interesting.
They also have mountain bike instructor rides (which I’ve done and like for variety), and separately have spin classes which I have not tried yet. Overall though I give iFIT a thumbs up. You can map out your schedule ahead of time on the computer (choosing the rides you want to do), and once you finish the ride it moves it into the ‘complete’ zone and records your stats.
Overall i’m quite pleased with this purchase – its not cheap but I’ve used it more than I expected in my first month. Note I did also purchase the Amazon warranty for 3 years – I figure that for something with so many moving parts/electronics it would be worth doing this. This also comes with annual maintenance. The way I look at it i’m not going to the gym anymore as i’ll just do this, so after 2 years it will pay for itself.
The only thing I dread is one day moving this thing out of the house- it is quite heavy! But overall I highly recommend this!
