BEST SMART HOME GYM MACHINE
PELOTON BIKE+
$2,495.00 EDITORS’ CHOICE Llllh
With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, there’s never been a better time to invest in a smart
home fitness device. The Peloton Bike+ is one of the best you can buy. It builds on the original
model with a new Auto Follow feature for automatic resistance adjustments, an upgraded
sound system, a rotating touch screen that allows for a better viewing angle when doing floor-
based workouts, and support for one-tap Apple Watch pairing. With these upgrades, plus a
vast and varied on-demand workout library and a regular schedule of live classes, it leaves
other indoor cycling bikes in the dust.
