I never comment on RU-vid but thought its important to let you know that your review style is better than most here. Big RU-vidrs are nigh on useless when reviewing tech because don't give enough emphasis to real world usage, which is all that matters eventually! Once the shininess wears off, what matters is its utility and that's what you focus on. Thank you for improving our buying choices, hope you get big dude.
Love this honest straightforward unbiased review. I just bought one yesterday and as techy and handy as I am, I couldn’t justify buying the the bike plus. My brother owns the bike plus and he convinced me to buy one but he even said if he could buy again, he would just go with the basic version
I’ve watched a few comparison videos and this has got to be the best one. And the only one that actually helped me make my decision. Thank you this was so helpful!
I’m subscribing because you actually have your opinion at the beginning of the video. RU-vid is full of people trying to keep you hanging on. I watched yours to the end because you started with the result. Good work.
Thank you for this review! It is THE BEST review on this topic! I watched many before finding yours and I couldn’t decide until I watched your review. Excellent! Going with the regular bike.
I just purchased the Bike+ the auto follow mode is worth the extra money for me by itself. During a workout I don’t want to keep stopping and fiddling with the resistance knob that would annoy me to death.
This was super helpful!!! I had been trying to decide between the two and you explained it great since you have had both bikes! I’m definitely just going to get the OG version
Do you know if you can use the Peloton original bike with resistance manually without the monitor installed? I love the bike design but don't want to pay or use the monitor.

It's only $600 more because they've dropped the price on the old bike! If you're buying in 2021 you need the Bike+, they'll phase out the original bike at some point.
@@camsecore Yeah I'm just going with the feedback a lot of the original Bike owners have, kinda like iPhones or Teslas, at some point you don't get the latest features. I love the auto-follow, and the much more accurate power readings which are important to me!
@@camsecore Ah yes 100000% I watched 20 videos to decide on spending the extra money hehehe. DCRainMaker got me with the power accuracy. I love your video btw, very fact based and detailed, without the usual Peloton cheerleading !
I agree with everything that was said in this video. I have a regular Peloton Bike, not the bike +, and feel the extra bells and whistles that the Bike + provides is not worth the additional $600. Though some may disagree.
@@camsecore I went right for the plus. As I wanted the better speakers and the Apple Watch integration. The swivel is great for doing other exercises. Plus I wanted to figure proof it. For me it was worth the extra
This video was really helpful, and so was the code, thank you! I was undecided between the two, but ultimately went with the original. The Bike+ is taking 6-8 weeks to ship but I was able to schedule delivery for the original Bike within 1-3 weeks.
I didn't focus on this aspect nearly enough in this video. And if I had to redo it, two years later, I'd break this down further. Regular Bike easily becomes uncalibrated and it's tough to know what your true score is.
You know if you throw some Locktite on your screws you won't have to constantly tighten them? You're already spending $2,500 on a bike what's another $600 at that point for a bike that is future proofed for the next 2-5 years?
Thanks so much for this review.. so informative!! I'm still unsure which bike to get.. the sound on the Bike+ is a great feature though..... For $1800, the original bike should really have better sound!
Do you find the bike plus screen shakes while you r riding at a higher cadence and off the saddle? Some people say the older bike doesn't have that problem. I ordered the regular one because of that issue. Waiting for it to arrive.
Your video def helps. I am more clear on what I need to purchase now so thank you. There's promo for $400 off, going on. Would I be able to use your promo code as well to make the purchase or is your code strictly for accessories?
Unfortunately, my code hasn’t been valid for more than a year! You can search google for one though. It gives you $100 off when you buy the model with the shoes. So it’s basically free shoes.
Does anyone know if you can use the Peloton original bike with resistance manually without the monitor installed? I love the bike design but don't want to pay or use the monitor.
@@camsecore Thank you. The main reason is that I need the really high resistance everyone says the Peloton has. Do you know what other bikes have as strong of resistance as the Peloton but less than?
It’s so stupid to swivel the tv when you can cast it or just position it where you can see it lol. People truly love to spend Money on convenience when really they’re just lazy lol
Is there a difference in the size of each? I need to crate one but I don't know which model it is yet. I only need the height at the tube where the handlebar adjustment post goes into and the width and length of the base at it's furthest points. I can't measure the one I need to ship because I don't know who the customer is yet. I need to quote the job. Thank you.
@@camsecore - thanks but those aren't the specs I need. I'm not sure what "footprint" means exactly, but I need the exact width and length at the base and height at the top of the sleeve where the adjustable bar fits in.
