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.

See what some customers who have bought either the NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle S15i or S22i Spin Bike have to say about them:

M.C.:
“Having compared the Peloton cycle with the NordicTrack S15i we decided this studio cycle was really a no brainer with its iFit, warranty, customer service, and price!  The iFit classes are outstanding with classes for all skill levels. The classes aren’t live but this isn’t an issue for us as we have busy schedules anyway.  I would recommend seriously considering NordicTrack as it has longevity as a fitness product manufacturer.  We have no reservations.”

H.B.:
“The NordicTrack Commercial Studio Cycle is working great.  No issues so far and I love the screen and workout videos.”

A.C.:
“My partner and I decided to purchase the NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle after much discussion about which bike to get.  We found the S22i to be most comparable to the Peloton.  The 1 year free iFit membership is a big bonus!  I found the saddle a little uncomfortable to start with but have bought some padded biking shorts to solve that.  I like how the screen rotates 360 degrees so you can do other workouts beside the bike.  We’re using this bike daily and are loving it.”

L.A.:
“The NordicTrack S22i Studio Spin Bike gives a great workout.  I love all the workout options available – I love spinning but there are lots of other options too, I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface!  I assembled this bike myself but it really needs 2 people as it’s super heavy.  I would recommend you swap out the saddle as I found the one it comes with to be very uncomfortable.  Overall, I would definitely recommend this spin bike.”
