Customers recognize the Carbon CX bike for its easy assembly, affordable price, and quiet operation. However, they express concerns about the uncomfortable seat and limited resistance levels.
The likes way out weigh the 2 not likes. The price is fair for what you get. It was easy to put together, feels sturdy and durable. The ergonomics of shape, size and how it operates is great. I did get an padded seat cover for more comfort. The 2 things that I do not like are the display controls for the speed, time, resistance. It is under where you out your table/Ipad so every time you want to adjust your resistance on a ride , which is frequently, you have to move your ipad. The resistance knob should be on the frame for ease of use. I nearly brought it back based on that issue, but the overall bike is worth keeping. The 2nd negative is there is a free 30 days IFIT membership. I signed in and was lucky enough to do 2 rides and then all the rides/workouts were locked. I could not even get into the 2 rides that I had done . Upgrade pop ups showed up. Would take me 15 min to even get into the app and then l couldn't use it. Uninstalled IFIT and went with Peloton app for rides.

This indoor cycle is great. Nice, quiet, and smooth. I bought this to use at my own pace. As for the ifit not really interested in using it. I just need it while I working from home. I have to agree the seat is not comfortable which leaves the last star off for me. I’ll have to get a cushion to get comfortable. Putting the cycle together was simple with the help of my daughter. It’s faster with 2 people. The cycle came out nice. I enjoy the product. Time to get back on it.

We bought this bike because we didn’t want to spend several thousand on a premium spinning bike plus monthly online ‘classes.’ We already have a Pro-Form treadmill with iFit membership, so this bike was a great option where I can use my own iPad. I’ve only done a few ‘classes’ and actually use it mainly while watching TV. We did buy a gel seat pad to make the ride more comfortable. I’m a big guy and am impressed with how sturdy the bike is. I was able to put it together by myself, but it would have gone smoother with a helper.
