Key Features

24" Curved HD Touchscreen

The EX-8s features an oversized 24-inch curved HD touchscreen designed to create an immersive studio-style connected cycling experience.

180° Flipping Display

The touchscreen flips 180°, allowing you to reposition the display when transitioning from cycling to compatible off-equipment workouts.

32 Levels of Digital Magnetic Resistance

Choose from 32 levels of digital magnetic resistance to customize workout intensity for warm-ups, endurance rides, climbs, intervals, and high-intensity cycling.

App-Controlled Auto-Resistance

Supported Echelon workouts can take advantage of app-controlled auto-resistance, allowing the bike's resistance system to respond automatically during compatible training experiences.

Bluetooth Resistance Controller

The EX-8s incorporates Echelon's patent-pending Bluetooth resistance controller for convenient control over workout intensity.

15-Zone LED Flywheel

The distinctive dual-ring flywheel design incorporates 15 LED color zones that can respond to workout performance or create a customized visual atmosphere.

Smooth Magnetic Resistance

Magnetic e-Drive resistance provides smooth, controlled adjustment throughout your ride without relying on traditional friction resistance pads.

Fully Adjustable Seat

The seat adjusts both vertically and forward/backward, helping riders establish an appropriate cycling position.

Fully Adjustable Handlebars

The handlebars also adjust up/down and fore/aft, providing additional fitting flexibility for different riders.

Vented Competition-Style Seat

A vented competition-style saddle provides a performance-oriented riding position designed for indoor cycling.

Ergonomic Bullhorn Handlebars

Ergonomic bullhorn-style handlebars provide multiple hand positions throughout different portions of your workout.

Dual-Sided SPD-Compatible Pedals

The dual-sided pedals provide SPD-compatible clips on one side and adjustable toe cages on the other, allowing riders to use compatible cycling shoes or conventional athletic footwear.

Bluetooth Audio

Bluetooth audio connectivity allows supported wireless audio devices to integrate with the EX-8s connected training experience.

Dual 5-Watt Speakers

Two integrated 5-watt speakers provide built-in audio directly from the bike.

3.5 mm Audio Connection

A standard 3.5 mm audio jack provides an additional wired audio option.

USB Device Charging

An integrated USB charging port provides convenient power for compatible personal devices during your workout.

Dual Water Bottle Holders

Two integrated water bottle holders keep hydration conveniently accessible while you ride.

Dumbbell Storage

Integrated holders provide convenient storage for compatible lightweight dumbbells used during supported cycling and strength workouts.

Bluetooth Connectivity

Bluetooth connectivity allows the EX-8s to communicate with the Echelon Fit app and supported connected devices.

300 lb Maximum User Weight

The Echelon EX-8s supports riders weighing up to 300 lb.

Immersive 24" Curved Display

The defining feature of the EX-8s is its oversized 24" curved HD touchscreen.

The curved display creates a more immersive viewing experience than a conventional flat tablet or smaller integrated screen, helping bring instructor-led and connected workouts directly into your home training environment.

Because the display is integrated into the bike, you don't need to supply a separate tablet for screen-based Echelon Fit workouts.

Train Beyond the Bike

The touchscreen isn't limited to cycling.

The entire display flips 180°, allowing you to position it toward the surrounding workout area when you're exercising beside the bike.

Use the adjustable screen for compatible strength, stretching, mobility, yoga, HIIT, and other off-equipment workouts available through the Echelon fitness platform.

32 Levels of Digital Resistance

The EX-8s uses 32 levels of magnetic e-Drive resistance to provide a broad range of workout intensities.

Lower resistance levels are suitable for warm-ups, recovery, and endurance riding, while progressively higher settings provide the challenge needed for climbs, intervals, and high-intensity training.

Because resistance is digitally controlled, the system also supports compatible connected training features such as app-controlled auto-resistance.

Performance-Responsive LED Flywheel

The EX-8s stands apart visually with its distinctive dual-ring LED flywheel.

The system incorporates 15 LED color zones that can respond to your workout performance or create a customized visual environment.

This adds a unique visual element to the connected cycling experience while maintaining the smooth operation of the bike's magnetic resistance system.

Connected Training with Echelon Fit

The EX-8s connects directly with the Echelon Fit platform.

Depending on Echelon's current software and membership offerings, supported features may include live and on-demand cycling classes, AI-personalized workouts, performance tracking, challenges, entertainment, and off-equipment fitness content.

The integrated touchscreen serves as the central display for supported connected training.

Adjust the Bike to Your Riding Position

Both the seat and handlebars adjust vertically and fore/aft, allowing riders to customize the bike around their height and preferred cycling position.

This four-way adjustability is particularly useful when multiple members of a household share the same bike.

Before each workout, confirm that the seat and handlebars are properly positioned and that all adjustment mechanisms are securely locked.

Clip In or Use Athletic Shoes

The EX-8s accommodates different footwear preferences with dual-sided pedals.

One side incorporates SPD-compatible clips for riders using compatible cycling shoes and cleats.

The opposite side provides adjustable toe cages for riders using compatible conventional athletic shoes.

This allows different users to choose their preferred riding setup without replacing the pedals.

Bluetooth audio provides support for compatible wireless devices, while a standard 3.5 mm audio connection offers an additional wired option.
