Echelon Connect EX-5 Smart Bike

Connected Indoor Cycling with Your Own Smart Device

Bring studio-style cycling into your home with the Echelon Connect EX-5 Smart Bike, a connected exercise bike designed for riders who want advanced training features without paying for a permanently integrated touchscreen.

The EX-5 features 32 levels of magnetic resistance, automatic resistance control through supported Echelon Fit workouts, and Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with the Echelon Fit app.

A built-in device holder securely accommodates compatible smart devices from 5.5" to 12.5" and flips 180° for off-bike workouts. Four-way adjustable handlebars and seating, dual-sided SPD-compatible pedals, a vented competition-style saddle, dumbbell holders, and dual water bottle holders complete the versatile home cycling setup.

Key Features

32 Levels of Magnetic Resistance
Choose from 32 resistance levels to customize workout intensity for warm-ups, endurance rides, climbs, intervals, and higher-intensity training.

Automatic Resistance Control
During supported Echelon Fit workouts, the EX-5 can automatically adjust resistance to provide a more seamless connected training experience.

Bluetooth Connectivity
Connect the bike with the Echelon Fit app on a compatible phone or tablet for supported workouts, performance tracking, and connected fitness features.

Bring Your Own Screen
Rather than incorporating a permanently attached touchscreen, the EX-5 lets you use a compatible phone or tablet as your workout display.

5.5"–12.5" Device Compatibility
The integrated holder securely accommodates compatible smart devices measuring approximately 5.5 to 12.5 inches.

180° Flipping Device Holder
Rotate the device holder up to 180° when transitioning from cycling to compatible off-equipment workouts.

Four-Way Adjustable Seat
The seat adjusts both vertically and fore/aft, helping riders customize the bike around their preferred cycling position.

Four-Way Adjustable Handlebars
The handlebars also adjust up/down and forward/backward, providing additional fitting flexibility for different riders.

Vented Competition-Style Seat
A vented saddle provides a performance-oriented seating position for indoor cycling workouts.

Elevated Bullhorn Handlebars
Bullhorn-style handlebars with elbow rests provide multiple hand and upper-body positions throughout your ride.

Dual-Sided Pedals
Ride with SPD-compatible cycling shoes using the clip-in side or use conventional athletic shoes with the adjustable toe cages.

Rear-Mounted Dumbbell Holders
Integrated rear storage accommodates compatible lightweight dumbbells weighing up to 2 lb.

Dual Water Bottle Holders
Two large bottle holders beneath the handlebars keep hydration conveniently accessible throughout your workout.

Emergency Stop Braking System
An integrated emergency braking system provides a quick way to stop the flywheel when necessary.

Front Transport Wheels
Built-in wheels make it easier to reposition the bike within your workout space.

300 lb Maximum User Weight
The EX-5 supports riders weighing up to 300 lb.

32-Level Magnetic Resistance

The Echelon Connect EX-5 uses magnetic resistance with 32 available levels, allowing you to progressively adjust the challenge of your workout.

Magnetic resistance provides smooth adjustment without relying on conventional friction pads pressing against the flywheel.

Choose lower resistance for warm-ups and recovery periods or increase resistance for climbs, intervals, and more demanding cycling sessions.

Automatic Resistance with Echelon Fit

The EX-5 supports automatic resistance control through the Echelon Fit app during compatible workouts.

This allows resistance to adjust automatically based on supported workout programming, reducing the need to make every resistance change manually.

Manual resistance adjustment remains available when you want direct control over workout intensity.

Use Your Own Phone or Tablet

Unlike Echelon models with permanently integrated HD touchscreens, the EX-5 uses your own compatible smart device as its display.

The integrated holder accommodates devices from approximately 5.5" to 12.5", giving you flexibility to use a compatible smartphone or tablet you already own.

The smart device itself is not included with the bike.

180° Device Holder for Off-Bike Workouts

The integrated device holder can flip 180°, allowing your screen to remain visible when you transition away from the bike.

This makes it easier to follow compatible strength, stretching, yoga, HIIT, and other off-equipment workouts available through the Echelon fitness ecosystem.

Four-Way Rider Adjustment

Both the seat and handlebars adjust vertically and fore/aft.

This four-way adjustment provides greater fitting flexibility than bikes that limit one or both components to vertical movement alone.

Configure the bike for your body and preferred riding position before beginning a workout, particularly when multiple people share the same EX-5.

SPD Clips or Athletic Shoes

Dual-sided pedals allow riders to choose between two footwear setups.

Use the SPD-compatible clip-in side with appropriate cycling shoes and cleats for a secure cycling connection.

Alternatively, use the adjustable toe cages with compatible conventional athletic shoes.

This makes the EX-5 particularly convenient for households where different riders prefer different cycling footwear.

Connected Echelon Training

Bluetooth connectivity allows the EX-5 to communicate with the Echelon Fit app on a compatible smart device.

Depending on Echelon's current software and membership offerings, available features may include live and on-demand workouts, performance tracking, scenic rides, off-bike training, challenges, and other connected fitness experiences.

Membership plans, pricing, and available digital features can change over time.

The EX-5 measures approximately 58" L × 20" W × 55" H and weighs approximately 106 lb.

Despite its substantial construction, front transport wheels make it easier to reposition the bike within your workout space when necessary.

The EX-5 supports riders weighing up to 300 lb.
