With live control, the iFit trainers can auto adjust the NordicTrack S15i and S22i’s decline, incline and resistance levels in real-time to match the program/terrain so you never have to worry about making the changes yourself.  There’s such a wide variety of programs to choose for people of all fitness levels – you’ll never get bored or feel under-challenged!

The iFit technology displays real-time workout tracking on the screen and the watts readout tracks your power output.

The main difference between the NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle S15i and S22i comes down to the size of the screen supplied with each spin bike – the S15i has a smaller screen size of 14” compared to the S22i’s screen size which is larger at 22”.

Both the NordicTrack S15i and S22i feature an adjustable mount for the display screen, allowing for 360 degree screen rotation as well as tiltable angle.  This allows for the best viewing angle of the screen whether you are working out on the spin bike or following other studio workouts off the bike.

In addition to the difference in screen size, there are just a couple of other differences between these two NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycles – the S22i has 2 more resistance levels than the S15i (24 levels on the S22i compared to 22 levels on the S15i) and the S22i also has an HDMI output port which the S15i does not have.

So apart from the differences outlined above, the NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle S15i and S22i offer the same build quality and high-end features including an inertia enhanced flywheel, SMR Silent Magnetic Resistance, 10 to 20 % LIVE incline matching technology (10 % live decline, 20% live incline control), one-touch controls, push-down brake, 4-way adjustable saddle, fully adjustable multi-grip position handlebars, and toe-cage pedals.  The saddle and pedals are standard fit and can easily be swapped out for ones of your own if preferred.

Both the NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle S15i and S22i also feature an Auto Breeze workout cooling fan, an auxiliary music port with two 2” digitally amplified speakers, dual water bottle holder, and two 3 lbs dumbbells for cross training purposes.

Both the NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle S15i and S22i are sturdily constructed, supporting a high user weight capacity of up to 350 lbs.

Both spin bikes are constructed with commercial grade steel and offer enhanced corrosion resistance for long-term durability.  Both cycles feature adjustable leveling feet for added stability on uneven floors and have front-mounted transport wheels for easy relocation.

The NordicTrack S15i and S22i spin bikes themselves each weigh around 192 lbs and have a footprint of around 55.75” long by 22” wide by 61” high.

For peace of mind, both the NordicTrack S15i and S22i Commercial Studio Cycles come with a manufacturer’s warranty of 10 years on frame, 2 years on parts and 1 year labor.





Fitness tip:  Cycling for just 30 minutes could burn approx. between 207-345 calories for women, or 252-420 calories for men, depending on the intensity of the cycling.


Let’s take a glance at the main differences and similarities in features between the NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle S15i versus S22i laid out in the easy-to-read tables below to help you decide on which is the best spin bike for you:

The DMASUN Exercise Bike is a great Indoor Cycling Bike for home use that won’t break the bank!  

The DMASUN Spin Bike’s drive system combines a heavy-weight 40 lbs flywheel with a belt drive for a super smooth and quiet ride.  Generally speaking, the heavier the flywheel weight, the more smooth and consistent the momentum will be and this indoor cycle takes full advantage of that!

To keep your workouts challenging, the DMASUN Spin bike allows for continuous infinite resistance adjustment which is easily adjusted via a simple-to-use twist knob.  There’s also an emergency brake for quick safe stopping.  You’re in total control of the intensity of your workout – adjust the resistance up/down to mimic real road-bike riding like tackling flats or hills.

The DMASUN Indoor Cycling Bike features multi-grip handlebars for different hand placements, effectively allowing you to simulate different riding postures such as upright, racing etc.  The handlebars are height adjustable to suit different riders (handlebar height: min 38” – max 48”).

The DMASUN’s large cushioned saddle is surprisingly comfortable and is 4-way adjustable (up, down, forwards, backwards) for a custom fit for different riders (seat height: min 30” – max 40”).  The saddle itself measures 10.86” long by 8.12” wide and is 2.56” thick.

To keep you motivated as you cycle, the DMASUN Spin Bike comes with an LCD monitor (battery operated) that tracks and displays your workout data such as time, speed, distance, calories burned and pulse.  Your pulse heart-rate is measured via the integrated pulse-grip sensors built into the bike’s handlebars.

There’s also a handy tablet holder located on the DMASUN’s handlebars beneath the monitor to place your own tablet or mobile phone so you can keep entertained as you cycle.

Additional features of the DMASUN Exercise Bike include a water bottle holder located on the frame, cage pedals, and front-mounted transport wheels.

Both the pedals and saddle on the DMASUN Spin Bike can easily be swapped out for ones of your own if you prefer different styles.

The DMASUN Indoor Cycling Bike is sturdily constructed with a heavy-duty steel frame and supports a high user weight capacity of up to 330 lbs.  The bike itself has a footprint of around 43.5” long and weighs around 97 lbs.

The SYRINX Indoor Cycling Bike’s drive system utilizes a 35 lb bidirectional flywheel with a belt drive for quiet and smooth motion.

The heavy flywheel weight ensures consistent momentum and the SYRINX’s adjustable resistance system allows you to challenge yourself as you can increase (or decrease!) the intensity of the workout.

For user comfort, the SYRINX Indoor Cycling Bike features a fully adjustable saddle, i.e. the seat adjusts both up/down and forwards/backwards.  The adjustability of this spin bike allows for an inseam height range from 28.5” up to 37.5”.

The saddle itself is large and padded and features a spring buffer for added comfort.  In addition, the saddle offers good air permeability and heat dissipation. Overall, the design of the saddle allows you to ride for longer in more comfort compared to the traditional hard narrow saddles that typically come with spin bikes.

The SYRINX Indoor Cycle features durable vinyl non-slip handlebars with multi-position grips for different hand placement to accommodate different riding postures such as upright, racing, standing etc.  The handlebars are also height adjustable to suit different rider sizes.

The SYRINX Spin Bike is equipped with anti-slip pedals with adjustable toe cages and straps.  If you prefer different pedals such as SPD, they are easy to swap out for ones of your own (standard 9/16 size).

Sturdily and durably constructed, the SYRINX Indoor Cycling Bike allows for a user weight capacity of up to 280 lbs.  This bike features adjustable stabilizers for leveling on uneven floors for additional stability.

The SYRINX is manually operated (just batteries required for the digital monitor) so there’s no need to worry about finding a space near a wall socket – you can place the bike anywhere in your home and it doesn’t take up much space with a footprint of around just 39” long x 18.2” wide x 43” high.

The bike itself weighs around 75 lbs and is easy to move around if needed with its front-mounted transport wheels.




Fitness tip:  Cycling for just 30 minutes could burn between 207-345 calories for women, or 252-420 calories for men, depending on the intensity of the cycling.
