The Echelon EX-8s Connect is a brand new, high-end exercise bike designed to take your cardio-based workouts to the next level through Echelon's latest smart technology.

While Peloton is a name most people will be familiar with in the fitness space, Echelon seems to have its eye on the prize by unveiling direct competition to Peloton's highly popular spin bike. [3]

Figure 1. The Overview of Echelon EX-8S

Figure 1 shows The EX-8S Connect smart stationary bike from Echelon boasts two eye-catching features that set it apart from the competition: a curved screen and LED accent lighting. More than just aesthetically pleasing, the 24-inch curved 5K touch screen, which features front and rear speakers for surround sound, promises a more immersive audiovisual experience than its flat counterparts, virtually transporting you to the front row of one of Echelon's new Pitbull-themed classes. The dual LED flywheel light rings can sync with the music, or change colors based on your heart rate zone or output rating. Priced at $2,399.98 for the bike plus a one-year Echelon United membership, the EX-8S Connect is cheaper than the Peloton Bike+. [1]

Features:

Curved HD Touchscreen

The immersive 24-inch class HD touchscreen features an industry-first curved design that heightens the interactive element of Echelon classes and keeps you engaged through every workout.

Dual-Wheel Design

The front and back flywheels provide a stable, smooth ride while appealing to a modern aesthetic. The sleek look elevates any at-home fitness space while also providing power to every workout.

Illuminating Flywheels

The integrated LED flywheel lights rotate through 15 color variations that sync with Echelon workout metrics, like heart rate zone and output, to keep you motivated. You can also choose from a variety of light settings to match your mood.

Cross-Training Made Easy

The curved touchscreen features a 180-degree flip rotation for access to daily live classes and thousands of on-demand cross-training workouts like Cardio, Arms + Abs, Kickboxing, Strength Training, Yoga, Pilates, and more. [2]
