Quieter and no maintenance, but these bikes are more $$$. For $300, I'll give it a shot. Costco has a good return policy.

So I don't get this:
>We made sure your workout stats are right in front of you as you work out. That means you can watch your mileage, speed, >calorie burn, and time add up.

But it doesn't say anywhere that the bike has speed or cadence sensors. So, does it track and report your speed, or does it just assume based on what you're inputting manually to ifit?

per review on costco website:

The Pros: the flywheel is super quiet for a bike that uses friction resistance instead of magnetic resistance. If you want something silent, go for magnetic, but they tend to be slightly more expensive. The seat moves both forward/backward and up and down to get the perfect positioning for your rides. The ride is super smooth and the bike stays put. I weigh about 200 lbs, 30 lbs under the max weight, and I haven't jostled the bike at all from its spot.
Cons: The seat is the worst. It's TINY and hard and miserable. I knew this would be the case and bought a wider, cushier saddle before my bike arrived, so I wouldn't have to use that torture device even once. My next con is the biggest and it's partially my fault for not figuring this out sooner, but it's extremely difficult to find any information about this bike on the internet, even the Pro-Form website doesn't have this bike listed. Anyway, the con is that the bike comes with iFit, but isn't Bluetooth enabled, so you can't connect your bike to the app. This doesn't seem like a big deal, but all of the cycling classes, especially the studio classes, require the bike to perform automatic resistance adjustments. This means that when you are doing the class with a bike that is Bluetooth enabled, the bike is automatically adjusted to higher or lower resistance with the instructor. If you don't have an enabled bike, your resistance isn't changed, so you aren't doing the same workout with the instructor. It would be fine if you could gauge resistance on the bike independently, but that isn't a feature, so you're left in the dark. I don't really understand why iFit was offered with this bike if it isn't compatible with the equipment or why Pro-Form, who is a partner of iFit, would make a bike that you couldn't connect to iFit.
In conclusion, the bike itself is high quality for the price, but you lose out on functionality with fitness app connections. It's definitely not a dupe for the Peleton in terms of integration with fitness apps, but if you want a bike to put in front of your TV, and you're not looking to do classes with remote instructors, this is a GREAT bike for the price.
