In a post-Peloton world, there’s a glut of smart exercise bikes that are innovative in terms of features
and yet rather conservative in their styling. Fortunately, the limited edition EX-8s from Echelon
blows that convention apart. Even ignoring the light-cycle-esque wheel lighting – more on that
above – this is a slick-looking smart bike. It features a curved 24-inch HD touchscreen that can
easily be flipped 180-degrees for off-equipment workouts, while its bullhorn handlebars and
competition-style seat are ergonomically designed to recreate the feel of a road bike. Using the
digital resistance controller you can easily toggle between 32 levels of magnetic resistance, while
Echelon Membership offers a range of live and on-demand cycling classes and more than 3,
off-bike workouts. The catch? It’s only available in the US at the moment.
