How long will the NordicTrack S10I Studio Cycle last?
The NordicTrack S10i Studio Cycle has a sturdy weight of 192 lbs. and designed to hold users up to a 350 lb. weight limit. It has a pleasing blend of metal and plastic that is built to last but it is no longer showcased on the NordicTrack website and different retailers offer little to no warranty options though Costco has a 90-day return policy that goes into effect upon purchase. It is tailored more towards moderate to heavy users and with proper care, should offer many years of biking pleasure.
Brief Overview
The NordicTrack S10i Studio Cycle is engineered with a 4.5’ length frame that will easily fit into any home gym. Though it is on the heftier side, it has transport wheels if the need to move arises though we suggest a dedicated workout space would work best to extend the life of the bike. The S10i comes with an iFit membership that offers the world at the literal fingertips of everyone along with entry to a constant growing library of workouts. It is the perfect indoor bike for anyone looking for a fair amount of technology mixed with a somewhat affordable price.
Overall Quality
The NordicTrack S10i Studio Cycle has an almost 30 lb. flywheel that offers smooth performance along with a more natural feel while 22 levels of resistance keep users riding hard towards their fitness goals. One added advantage of an iFit membership is the trainer’s ability to control the resistance of the bike during workout sessions. The S10i also offers higher intensity exercising with an incline of 20% and a decline of 10% which is not standard and makes this machine more valuable to those who are seriously training to reach their goals.
The NordicTrack S10i Studio Cycle has an easy to see 10” touchscreen that allows users to interact with either immersive iFit training or who just like to be able to actually see what is displayed. It also rotates 360 degrees which is imperative when the workout moves beyond the bike. The S10i offers vertical and horizontal adjustments on the padded seat offering optimal comfort along with the pedals that can be changed to regular road bike pedals to create a more realistic feeling indoor workout session.
