Design, build and function

Built for Quiet, Adaptive Rides

Magnetic SMR® resistance keeps the flywheel smooth and near-silent, while the 25 lb flywheel and 350 lb user capacity give the frame a steady, stable feel from warm-up through cooldown.

Training That Adapts to How You Ride

Every ride adjusts to how you train, not the other way around. SmartAdjust™ tunes resistance from your history and performance, and the supportive seat keeps longer sessions comfortable and steady.

Who this bike suits

Where the R35 Fits Your Routine

Low-Impact Cardio Starters

Recumbent seating reduces joint strain, so steady cardio works for beginners or anyone easing back into training.

Endurance Ride Sessions

A supportive backrest and cushioned seat keep hour-long scenic rides comfortable instead of punishing.

Multi-User Households

26 resistance levels let riders of different fitness levels share one machine without reconfiguring anything.

Recovery-Day Training

Low-resistance recovery rides help you stay moving on off days without loading the legs hard.

Busy-Week Short Workouts

Short sessions fit a lunch break, and SmartAdjust™ scales the effort to the time you actually have.

Scenic Virtual Travel

Ride roads and trails across the globe from your room when weather or travel is not an option.

Get Set Up and Ride With Confidence

A short setup routine gets you riding faster. Adjust the seat first, connect the bike, then let iFIT or manual mode handle the rest — and wipe it down so it is ready next time.

First-hand owner experiences

What Owners Say About the R35

Owners consistently praise the comfortable seat, smooth quiet ride and fast delivery. The recurring caution: the bike’s best features lean heavily on an iFIT subscription, and some report seat or setup issues.
I wanted quick interval workouts without a subscription, and the flywheel felt too light for the smooth ride I expected. Only one routine ran without a membership, and it did not fit a 20-minute session before work, so the bike went back.

Dana M.Returned it after the short basic routines fell short
The bike feels solid and the fan genuinely helps on longer rides, and I like the mechanics overall. My frustration is the interface: reaching manual mode takes several taps, and I could not build my own varied resistance program.

Priya S.Comfortable ride, but manual mode is buried in menus
Delivery and assembly were polite, professional and quick, which I genuinely appreciated. On the bike itself, the seat rocks forward and back with a clanking sound, and tightening the mounting bolts did not stop the noise.

Tom R.Fast delivery, but the seat rattles while pedaling
I have been happy with the bike after a quick professional assembly. Two notes: the manual says to unplug it to protect the screen, so a reboot takes a few minutes, and the handle controls were reversed, so I use the touchscreen.

Ellen K.Happy overall, with two small setup notes
The seat adjusts easily, the machine is smooth and fairly quiet, and the fan is a nice touch on warm days. I would only recommend it if you plan to stay subscribed to iFIT, since manual use is limited and other bikes cover the basics for less.

Marcus L.Smooth and quiet, but built for iFIT subscribers

Questions Before You Buy

You can ride the bike without a subscription by selecting manual mode from the screen, though most guided classes, scenic routes and SmartAdjust™ routines require an iFIT plan to run.
The bike offers 26 digital resistance levels controlled by magnetic SMR® technology. SmartAdjust™ moves between them automatically during iFIT workouts, and you can step up or down manually at any time.
The step-through frame and supportive cushioned seat suit home exercisers who want low-impact cardio, back support on longer rides, or an easier entry point than an upright or foldaway bike.
The R35 weighs 191 lb and supports a maximum user weight of 350 lb. Allow room around the frame for mounting and for the seat to slide back along its rail during setup.
The bike is Wi-Fi enabled with Bluetooth for headphones or accessories, and the 14-inch touchscreen displays live workout stats, iFIT routes and resistance feedback as you ride.
Availability is listed as online only, priced at $1,199.99 with a 30-day iFIT trial included. Owners rate it 3.5 out of 5 across 38 reviews, so weigh both the praise and the cautions.
