The Peloton iOS app is great, so why would I buy the Peloton bike? Follow

With the app, you’ll have access to Peloton's ride library. However, the Peloton bike offers an integrated experience and a number of additional features not found on the app. To start:

• A cutting-edge bike: The Peloton bike includes a sweat resistant touchscreen, near-silent belt drive, smooth magnetic resistance with no wearing parts, and a strong carbon steel construction.

• Access to metrics: View live metrics such as your cadence, resistance, distance, output, and heart rate during your ride and track your progress over time. The Peloton iOS app does not track or record your ride metrics.

• Compete against other riders: The Peloton bike’s interactive leaderboard shows how your output compares to other Peloton riders in real-time. The leaderboard adds a fun, competitive element that brings the motivation and energy of a live class to your home.

• Ride with friends: Follow friends to see which rides they’ve taken, join rides together, and even video chat during your ride.

Note: With the purchase of a Peloton bike you will gain access to the app at no additional cost as long as you continue to have an active Peloton subscription.
