This would have been a 5 star if the seat was at least somewhat comfortable. I'm not sure why the company doesn't replace the seat with all the negatives reviews on the seat. I love the bike, but I couldn't sit on that seat for more than 2 seconds it hurt so bad. I took the seat off of my outdoor bicycle and I'm using that. Other than the seat, the bike is great, easy enough to put together with 2 people and very easy to understand to use with IFit.

We are glad you like the bike, but we are sorry you are unhappy with the bike seat. Let us explain a little more about why we put this seat (saddle) on our bikes. The saddles are designed to hold the weight of your sit bones but not necessarily your whole body weight. The narrow design is there to help you have the room to get up and down and pedal faster. With all of that said, sadly, there is no “one size fits all” bike saddle. If there were, trust us, we would have that on all our bikes.
We market our products to a large demographic of people who want to work out at home, and we understand everyone is a different height, weight, and shape, which means your sit bones are also different. Some options that have helped members are wearing padded bike shorts, adding a gel seat cover to the existing seat, or replacing the seat entirely with one that fits their seat bones best. In addition, bike shops can help you select the proper size seat and lend advice on the appropriate form.
We hope you find the perfect seat and love your bike. However, if you need more help, please do not hesitate to email us at [email protected]. We are here to help.
Thanks! ProForm

The Proform Carbon CX Black is a pretty good bike for the price. after setup, I decided to give it a whirl. The resistance and pedaling feel is similar to more expensive bikes you see in the gym. The seat was a little narrow, but that is a preference thing. Bought a seat pad to help with that. It is stable even on carpet. Overall a great purchase and a good way to exercise in the winter.

Great space saving bike with all the bells and whistles.
Definitely a quality built bike with appropriate safety features, especially for homes with small kids. Comes with a free trial of the iFit company whose workouts go beyond cycling and is a fun way to pace yourself and track your fitness progress as the time goes by. The bike and iFit are both very user friendly. You control your speed and resistance so workouts are never arduous unless you want them to be. Bike is meant to be adjusted to fit your body so you can cycle in comfort too.
I accepted this bike nearly free of cost for my honest feedback.

Rides Very Nicely

I had researched indoor cycling bikes for quite a while before settling on the pro-form. A few of my friends had this one and were extremely pleased for the quality of the product compared with the price. And after having used it for almost a month I can verify that they were indeed correct. It is a solid piece of equipment that runs very well. It was easy to put together with clear instructions and I have not had one problem with it yet. The wheel turns quietly without catching and the petals stay secure on my feet. I am definitely enjoyed my workouts and look forward to continuing them on this bike.

Ive been riding this bike several times a week for about a month and I love it! there are many workouts to choose from with the IFIT app and it connects to my ipad easily. its way better than going to the gym. there are many different settings for resistance for a harder workout. I was given this product for a reduced price in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

For the price I paid it does the trick, I’m not tying to “ride” for miles and miles. Just want to get heart rate up at 4am so I can lift at home. It does just that. Easy to set up even with a 3 year old running around

Bought this particular product for its price and ratings. Thus far, it has proven to be a sound investment.
The only issue I have is the very uncomfortable seat included. I find myself constantly adjusting the seating position in search of relief. I do believe that it can be replaced with a normal bike seat.

I wasn't expecting much form this, just a simple bike I can Connected to my ifit an tablet and do some basic workouts. I already have ifit and a Nordic rower. It does just that, but with one minor issue
The resistance is next to non-existent. At maximum setting it feels like going up a slight incline. I currently have a call in with support and am waiting for a tech, but the parts sent look exactly like the part in there. I'm not sure this bike is capable of much more than what it already has. It's a simple magnetic design, so hopefully they can make some adjustments
Also annoyed that while waiting two weeks for parts, my return window has closed. This will likely wind up on offer up.

We are happy to read that you enjoy iFIT so much that you added a second piece of equipment to your home gym. However, we are sorry that the resistance of this unit is not what you expected and do not want your bike to end up on OfferUp.
Would you please allow us the opportunity to help further troubleshoot this unit so you can fully enjoy both pieces of equipment and your iFIT membership?
We hope you will contact us with your Case ID (1-R101632) at [email protected] soon.

Purchased this bike after doing some research. After reviewing peloton bike which in my opinion is way over priced. I also looked at NordicTrack. I decided to go with proform carbon. For what I needed for it works great for me it’s easy to set up. I will say you will definitely need a different seat but that makes usually the way all bikes are anyways. I like the Ifit app works very well an with the trainers controlling the resistance on the bike it’s great. This is a simple review I’m not a pro bike rider an for what I use it for which is cardio it’s great. I definitely didn’t want to pay for the screen I use a tablet which is good enough. Instead of paying up to 1000 just to have a screen my tablet works perfectly.

Easy to assemble, love ifit, but the bike was underwhelming. I’m average fitness and was able to do an intermediate class on the max resistance.. basically the resistance is veryyy low compared to other bikes. If that isn’t a problem for you then go for it

The resistance level on this bike should not be too easy. Have you looked into adjusting the drive belt? Instructions to do this are found on page 25 of your user manual or you can contact us for assistance.
Email us at [email protected] with your individualized case number, 1-R102187, and we will help you out.

I was exited when I purchased it, but had a couple of hiccups once I started putting it together, one big one was that there was 2 parts missing which happened to be the main one for it to work, had to wait about 1 week for it to come in. Then after finally having it complete and tried it out realized the seat cushion it comes with is horrible and not conferrable at all I ended up purchasing one my self....but its "Ok" got my husband motivated to work out specially now that the cold weather is coming to So. Cal...

Great bike, connects to Ifit and the work outs are both fun and motivating. In shipping the rubber grip around the handle bars was damaged but otherwise a good buy. Seat is very hard, easy fix by upgrading the seat.

This is a great bike. I use it with the IFIT app sometimes on an iPad and sometimes by casting from my phone to the tv. I did read reviews that some people had a problem with the resistance synching but that must have been fixed cause I have no issues. Some bike courses are too easy and have a resistance of 1-3 which feels like nothing, so look for other courses or manually adjust it.
