The Best Exercise Bike In 2025 - Aviron Fit Bike

---

I do think the Aviron Fit Bike is the best exercise bike on the market, and I will get to that. But first, here is a little bit about the bike.

It is a connected fitness exercise bike, meaning it has a screen in front of you enhancing the experience and tying the work you put into what you see on the screen. This generally has meant instructor led content (think Peloton) in the past. Not the case with Aviron. This means so many different ways to enjoy working out, and we will get to that. But think variety, fun, motivation, and excitement to actually exercise because of what they put on that screen.

As mentioned above, you can adjust this bike via 10 methods to get it dialed in just right for you. Additionally, pay attention at checkout as you have options such as pedal and seat type to build the perfect bike for you. In my testing, at 6'3", I felt very comfortable. I enjoyed the position I was in and enjoyed the exercise from start to end. Bike seats always take a little while to get used to, but once you get there it is great. I really enjoyed the style and fit of the handlebars. They allow you to move your hands and get in different positions and find what is best for you, but also switch it up as you feel a need to move or change positions. The monitor is positioned well allowing you to easily interact with it and see everything with comfort as you ride. Very happy with the comfort and fit for a big guy. Side note, my 10 year old was able to test ride this and enjoy the fitment. So, if you are in the shorter side, I think this could work equally well.

It drives me nuts when these bikes offer only basic pedals. The Aviron Fit Bike comes with cage pedals which may be more than enough for you. I would like to take a second to suggest the SPD\Cage upgrade. If you are going to use this bike on the regular, it is really nice to be truly connected to the bike. You can push down with one foot while pulling up with the other. This engages more muscles, helps you be more fluid and maintain a higher cadence, and burn more calories. Cages are great, but if you getting this bike to use frequently, cycling shoes are better.

The instructions said to place the cross-bar with the wheels in the rear. This makes for an awkard move when you want to roll the bike around. The monitor sticks way up and has a fair amount of weight up there. This makes it less than ideal to roll the bike around. Luckily, Aviron told me the bar with wheels can just as easily be placed in the front. This means the monitor will go down making it much easier to move around. In short, this is a tip... put the cross-bar with wheels at the front!

I don't care how great everything else is on an exercise bike, if the resistance is poor, throw it out. The main areas I generally focus on when it comes to resistance is control, range, and top end resistance.

Control - Cheaper or poorly designed models feel choppy. The pedals don't want to carry you through when your feet are at the 6 and 12 positions. This can make the overall experience rough but absolutely kill out of saddle pedaling. You want this to feel fluid and controlled, not jerky. And it was perfect.

Range - You never want to feel limited or unable to dial in the experience you require overall or in that specific moment. This means you need to be able to make the resistance very easy, to difficult, with plenty of steps in-between. Aviron fit bike does a great job here. It is also controlled from the screen instead of a deal which is a nice bonus!

Top End Resistance - Not everyone goes here, but some love that grind where the resistance is so tough you can barely pedal. Not all bikes can produce this. Aviron can.

Additional Considerations - I love the resistance and experience this bike offers. One thing to be aware of if this uses a chain mechanism over belt which has pros and cons depending on what you want. Belt bikes are very very smooth, which can be nice. Chain offers more texture coming through the pedals making it feel more realistic, which I personally really enjoy. The downside is that it produces some noise. If you are going to need the bike to be silent when you use it, this might not be the option for you. Otherwise, a great bike. 

Here is where Aviron on all platforms completely shines. Most connnected fitness options have one claim to fame. Instructor led content, scenic content, music inspired content, and they stick to that. They may have other modes, but the mainly stick to one category. 

Aviron does not.

And this is so important. These bikes are expensive. They are a big purchase and a commitment to your health. The last thing you want is to get burnt out, tired of the same format day after day. Aviron offers so many completely diffferent ways to use, experience, and enjoy this bike that you don't get burnt out. It is more of a "What Am I Going To Do Today!" type of feeling and this is a wonderful feeling.

But what types of content do they have? Well....

I am really glad they have this. It would be easy to say "we do so much else, we don't need that", but they didn't. People love instructor led content because you feel a connection with the instructor. There is a level of accountability and additional motivation and sometimes.... we need that. Aviron does a good job with this content and has a nice library. 

So, if you are torn between a Peloton and Aviron because you know you will enjoy instructors pushing you and teaching you... you have that here as well.

This is my favorite part of the Aviron Fit Bike. So many games to choose from. These games have levels and high scores you can climb through your effort. When loading a game you can select duration and challenge level to set it up to match your current abilities. You interact with games through effort such as resistance and cadence. As an example, my favorite game is called Breezy Flight. You drive a flying car and have ring of different point values in the sky. You need to work to drive through these rings. This means pedaling harder at times, slowing down but not missing the ring, and working hard to hit multiple rings in a row for bonuses. It is fun. More importantly, it is motivational and gets you working out longer and harder. Exactly what you want.

This one is huge for me. Exercise formats like the categories just covered are awesome. They motivate you, get more out of you, and keep you coming back. But. Sometimes you want to go a different route. Maybe instead of an intense 20 to 30 minutes, you want to a more chill 60 minutes. Having the ability to put your favorite show on and workout longer is a great way to change things up and match what you are feeling that day. 

Options include YouTube TV, YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, TikTok, and more! 

Feel like a challenge? Want to push yourself... maybe against yourself? This category has all sorts of modes to see what you got and push your limits. Racing, personal best challenges (beat yourself), challenge others.

We are all motivated in different ways, and sometimes you need to see if you beat that mark you or someone else has set. You will have no shortage of ways to do that here.

So many other modes to enjoy. They include:

• Scenic Destination - Simple, but beautiful. Enjoy amazing scenary from all over the world and explore from the comfort of your own home.
• Pros VS Joes - Think you have reached peak conditioning? Why no challenge a pro and see where you are really at.
• Guided Programs - Sort of an AI feel. Metrics and goals while keeping it simple.
• Power Play - Lane style games that use interval training to keep those options coming.
