Peloton Bike+ vs NordicTrack Commercial S22i

The verdict

The Peloton Bike+ vs NordicTrack S22i comparison used to be a genuine toss-up between classes and terrain. Discontinuation settled it: the S22i is gone from NordicTrack's lineup, so for anyone buying new, the Bike+ wins by forfeit, bringing the best instructor-led classes, Auto-Follow resistance that matches the instructor automatically, a 360-degree rotating screen, and Sonos-tuned audio for $2,695 new or about $1,395 refurbished, plus the $49.99 monthly All-Access membership. The S22i's case survives only secondhand: its motorized -10% to +20% incline and decline still has no Peloton equivalent, and used or clearance units can undercut even the refurbished Bike+. But a used S22i carries the model's documented touchscreen-failure pattern, $425+ console replacements, and uncertain parts support, with no active product line behind it. Choose the Bike+ unless simulated hills matter enough to accept an orphaned bike at a steep discount.
