NordicTrack Exercise Bike Review

NordicTrack is the high end brand of fitness bikes manufactured by Icon Fitness (the largest fitness equipment manufacturer in the world) and is a popular brand sold by Sears and directly from NordicTrack online.  NordicTrack produces upper and mid-range recumbent and upright exercise bikes in addition to a line of indoor cycles (aka Sport Bikes at NordicTrack).

NordicTrack has an excellent selection of Fitness Bikes but  What really makes NordicTrack stand out from the crowd and gives them a big advantage is their interactive iFit technology. iFit has been around for years but it has really taken off in recent years. Although you will usually pay a little more for NordicTrack Fitness Bikes, they are very good quality and you can't beat the built-in iFit options for motivation.

NordicTrack has been sold at Sears stores for many years now which gives them the advantage of good brand name popularity and makes it easy to try out and compare them to other stationary bike brands. Anyone who has tried a NordicTrack Exercise Bike at Sears can tell you how comfortable and well built they are.

Although the majority of NordicTrack Stationary Bikes and Indoor Cycles are designed (and priced) for in home use, NT does sell the higher end Commercial Models which are actually more of a a light commercal quality.

NordicTrack Exercise Bike Models and Reviews

Comfort, Quality and iFit Technology

NordicTrack Fitness Bikes start with a good ergonomic design that is comfortable and easy to use, quality components that are manufactured well and then include a very good warranty to back them up.

Once the overall quality components are taken care of, NordicTrack (with the resources of Icon Fitness behind them) goes on to include the most innovative motivational features available iFit.

The original iFit Technology consisted of memory cards (purchased separately) that included a series of workouts that could be loaded on to your fitness products and control the resistance levels for additional workout variety and motivation.

The current iFit Technology just goes to a completely different level. The current iFit options still control the resistance of the fitness bike but also includes Virtual Classes with Trainers, Destination Workouts, Google Maps routes and workouts in addition to adjusting the incline of some bikes (Studio Cycle models).  How's that for a motivational upgrade!

There is just too much included with iFit Interactive technology to cover in this NordicTrack brand review. Please see the NordicTrack Fitness bike reviews on this site or our NordicTrack Price List for links to the NordicTrack site for plenty of iFit videos and detailed iFit information .

NordicTrack Studio Cycles.

For more serious workouts or Indoor Cycle training, NordicTrack also has a line of Indoor Cycles (which they call Studio Cycles). NordicTrack Studio Cycles have quite a variety of features depending on your preferences.

 

The current lineup of NordicTrack Studio Cycles come with iFit Interactive Technology Training, as you would expect and on large built-in touch screen consoles. No more boring workouts!

NordicTrack Studio Cycles include magnetic resistance systems and have highly adjustable seats and handlebars (traditional indoor cycle features). After that, to also get and adjustable incline, decline feature on some models.

About-Bicycles Brand Review - NordicTrack

NordicTrack excels in comfort, quality, value and innovation. Being part of the largest fitness equipment manufacturer in the world (Icon Fitness), NordicTrack can typically offer more features and options at a lower cost.

As mentioned above, NordicTrack is the high end brand of fitness bikes manufactured by Icon Fitness who also make Proform, Health Rider, Weslo and others.

Just as the major car corporations manufacture similar car models under different brand names (GM makes Chevy, Buick, Cadalliac, etc. Honda makes Honda, Accura, etc.), Icon Fitness manufactures some of the same (or very similar) model exercise bikes under other brand names.

Overall NordicTrack makes comfortable, high quality, innovative and dependable fitness bikes at very reasonable prices.
