Meh. Yeah of course, most people don't need to buy exercise equipment but I feel that these newer products are filling a religious niche that were not filled prior with normal exercise equipment. I could not specifically compare the two but I think you are buying into the workouts not just the bike. But just on initial view the peloton looks better. Magnetic vs flywheel. The workouts on peloton are night and day difference with a much higher level of quality as their are live streaming daily. Is it an expensive bike? Yes Is it for everyone? No Do people need to buy exercise equipment? No. Disclosure, I don't own a Peloton but own bike trainers. A good bike trainer is going to cost $400-$1k and that does not count my road bike. When I see peloton I don't blink at $2k if it was something I was going to be using on a regular basis.
