Echelon's Flagship Connected Cycling Experience
Bring an immersive studio cycling experience home with the Echelon EX-8s Smart Connect Bike, Echelon's premium connected exercise bike built around a striking 24-inch curved HD touchscreen, electronically controlled magnetic resistance, and a highly adjustable riding position.
The EX-8s offers 32 levels of magnetic resistance, app-controlled auto-resistance, a patent-pending Bluetooth resistance controller, and a distinctive flywheel lighting system with 15 LED color zones that can respond to your workout.
The 24-inch touchscreen flips 180° for off-bike workouts, while Bluetooth connectivity, integrated speakers, dual-sided pedals, device charging, and adjustable seating and handlebars create a complete connected fitness platform.
Key Features
24-Inch Curved HD Touchscreen
The EX-8s features an oversized 24-inch curved HD touchscreen designed to create a more immersive view of classes, workout metrics, scenic rides, and other supported content.
180° Flipping Display
Rotate the touchscreen up to 180° for supported off-bike workouts, allowing the display to remain visible when transitioning from cycling to strength, stretching, mobility, and other floor-based training.
32 Levels of Magnetic Resistance
Choose from 32 resistance levels to customize ride intensity for everything from lighter recovery sessions to demanding climbs and interval workouts.
App-Controlled Auto-Resistance
The EX-8s supports automatic resistance adjustments through compatible Echelon workouts, allowing resistance to change with supported training content.
Bluetooth Resistance Controller
A patent-pending Bluetooth resistance controller provides convenient access to resistance adjustments while riding.
15-Zone LED Flywheel Lighting
The EX-8s features Echelon's distinctive illuminated flywheel with 15 LED color zones that can respond to your performance zone or provide customizable visual effects.
Dual-Sided Pedals
Ride with SPD-compatible cycling shoes on one side of the pedals or use the adjustable toe cages on the other, giving multiple riders greater flexibility in footwear.
Fully Adjustable Riding Position
Both the seat and handlebars adjust vertically and fore/aft, allowing the bike to accommodate different rider heights and preferred cycling positions.
Vented Competition-Style Seat
A vented competition-style saddle provides a performance-oriented riding position while helping improve airflow during demanding workouts.
Ergonomic Bullhorn Handlebars
Multi-position bullhorn handlebars provide multiple hand positions for different riding styles and workout intensities.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Bluetooth connectivity links the EX-8s with the Echelon Fit app and compatible devices for connected workouts and performance tracking.
Integrated Audio
Built-in speakers provide audio directly from the bike for supported classes, entertainment, and workout content.
USB Device Charging
An integrated USB charging port allows compatible devices to be powered or charged while you train.
Dual Water Bottle Holders
Two integrated bottle holders keep hydration conveniently accessible throughout your workout.
Dumbbell Storage
Integrated dumbbell holders provide convenient storage for compatible lightweight dumbbells used during cycling and off-bike workouts.
300 lb Maximum User Weight
The EX-8s supports users weighing up to 300 lb.
Emergency Stop Braking System
An emergency stop braking system provides a quick way to stop flywheel movement when necessary.
Front Transport Wheels
Integrated front wheels make it easier to reposition the bike within your workout space when needed.
Immersive 24-Inch Curved Display
The centerpiece of the EX-8s is its 24-inch curved HD touchscreen.
The oversized curved design provides an expansive view of supported Echelon classes, training metrics, scenic content, and other compatible entertainment.
When you're ready to move beyond the bike, the screen can flip 180°, making it easier to follow supported strength, stretching, mobility, and other off-equipment workouts from the floor.
Smart Magnetic Resistance
The EX-8s uses electronically controlled magnetic resistance with 32 available levels.
Magnetic resistance provides smooth adjustment without relying on traditional friction pads pressing against the flywheel.
For supported Echelon workouts, auto-resistance can automatically adjust the bike's resistance based on the training session, while the Bluetooth resistance controller provides another convenient way to make manual changes while riding.
Performance-Responsive LED Flywheel
The EX-8s stands apart visually with its illuminated flywheel design.
A dual-ring lighting system incorporates 15 LED color zones that can respond to your performance zone or complement your workout environment.
The lighting adds a distinctive visual element to the bike without changing its core cycling functionality.
Adjustable Riding Position
Both the seat and handlebars can be adjusted up and down as well as forward and backward.
This provides considerably more fitting flexibility than bikes limited to vertical adjustment alone and allows different household members to configure the EX-8s around their preferred riding position.
The bike also incorporates a vented competition-style saddle and ergonomic bullhorn handlebars for a performance-oriented cycling setup.
SPD Clips or Toe Cages
The EX-8s uses dual-sided pedals to accommodate different riding preferences.
One side supports SPD-compatible cycling shoes, providing a secure clip-in connection for riders who prefer cycling footwear.
The opposite side incorporates adjustable toe cages for use with compatible conventional athletic shoes.
This makes the bike easier to share between riders who prefer different footwear systems.
Connected Echelon Training
Bluetooth connectivity allows the EX-8s to integrate with the Echelon Fit app and supported connected fitness features.
Depending on the applicable Echelon membership and software offering, available content may include live and on-demand cycling classes, scenic rides, performance tracking, off-bike workouts, entertainment features, and other connected training experiences.
Memberships, subscriptions, and available digital features can change over time and should not be assumed to be included with the bike unless specifically stated with the purchased configuration.
Designed for On- and Off-Bike Training
The rotating display expands the EX-8s beyond indoor cycling alone.
After completing a ride, the touchscreen can be repositioned for supported floor-based training such as strength, stretching, mobility, and other workouts available through compatible Echelon content.
Integrated dumbbell holders also provide convenient storage for compatible lightweight weights used during supported workouts.
Home Fitness Design
Despite its large 24-inch display, the EX-8s maintains a footprint of approximately 59" L × 23" W.
Front transport wheels make it easier to reposition the bike when necessary, although its approximately 124 lb assembled weight means an appropriate workout location should be selected before setup.
Allow adequate clearance around the bike for mounting, dismounting, riding, screen rotation, ventilation, and safe movement.
