The Keiser M3i is a solid, proven, and reliable indoor cycling bike with phenomenal build quality, and great reviews. Solid steel construction and adjustable Shimano™ Pedals. Its flywheel is mounted on the rear, while the NordicTrack S22i has a front mounted flywheel. The rear mounting of the M3i keeps sweat from dripping on the flywheel on the Keiser.

The NordicTrack S22i has a 22-inch HD Touchscreen (same size as a Pelaton bike) to view live and recorded workouts.
