Peloton may’ve had its moment in 2020 when working out from home became the new norm, but demand for a high-end spin bike isn’t slowing down. Many people are still in the market for one of the best exercise bikes, and you’ve got two Peloton models to choose from: the original Peloton Bike or the Peloton Bike Plus.

The newer, updated model is a dream for Peloton superfans. For those shopping for a Peloton on a tighter budget, you can now get the original Peloton for less than the newer model.
The Peloton Bike Plus is the latest Peloton Bike model that has all the bells and whistles an avid Peloton fan could ever want. Besides an upgraded, slightly bigger touchscreen that rotates (so you can do other Peloton workouts, like strength training, off the bike) one of the more notable features is an option on the resistance knob that allows the instructor to automatically adjust your bike resistance based on their recommendation.
The bike features access to live and on-demand classes with a leaderboard that lets you see which other members are in class with you. You also get access to metrics like power, cadence, resistance and heart rate during your rides. The Peloton Bike Plus is also compatible with the Apple GymKit and Apple Watch, which pairs your Peloton with your Apple Watch for heart-rate monitoring integration.
