Inside, the Bike+ packs a 2.5GHz Qualcomm QCS605 processor, 4GB of RAM,
2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, ANT+ wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, and 100Mbps
Ethernet. It has a 3.5mm audio jack on the handlebar, so you can plug in wired
headphones, and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera (with a privacy slider) for
video chatting with friends during workouts. To video chat with someone, you
must both follow each other and be taking the same class at the same time.
Like its predecessor, the Bike+ features Delta-compatible aluminum pedals
meant for use with clip-in cycling shoes. You can use it with Peloton’s own
cycling shoes or any pair with Delta cleats.

EX5S, and the MYX Fitness, feature SPD-compatible pedals with adjustable toe
cages, so they can be used with clip-ins or regular athletic sneakers. It’s possible
to attach toe cages to your Bike+ pedals, but you have to buy them separately.
