Peloton Cross Training Bike
Connected cycling bike with swivel screen · Reviewed by Drew · amazon.com live, Sept 28 2026
Why it scored a 78
At $1,695.00 the Peloton Cross Training Bike is the 2025 refresh of the original Peloton, adding a 21.5-inch swivel screen so the same hardware serves strength, yoga and floor classes off the bike. Quality scores 86 and Features 84 on class production and instructor depth, and Warranty holds at 88. Value drops to 60 because the $49.99-a-month All-Access membership is required for nearly everything, adding roughly $600 a year, while resistance stays on a manual knob and the Delta pedals need cycling shoes. Only 48 Amazon reviews exist so far on this new listing. It is for buyers committed to Peloton's class ecosystem who do not need auto resistance.

Should you buy the Peloton Cross Training Bike?
The Peloton Cross Training Bike is the 2025 refresh of the original Peloton, and it is aimed at riders who want the class ecosystem and the swivel screen but do not need Auto Resistance. You turn the knob yourself while the instructor calls numbers, which is how the original worked for years. At $1,695 it sits $1,000 under the Bike+ and $900 over the Schwinn IC4, so it is the pick when you want a real Peloton without the flagship price. Riders who care about following resistance cues automatically should pay for the Bike+.
Where it earns its score
- The screen swivels and tilts. The 21.5 inch Full HD touchscreen rotates 360 degrees for off-bike workouts, a feature the original bike lacked.
- Wide rider fit. Riders from 4 feet 11 to 6 feet 5 and up to 297 lb fit on a 4 by 2 foot footprint.
- Modern connectivity. Bluetooth 5.2, USB-C and Wi-Fi with front-facing speakers, scoring 84 on Features.
- Five-year frame warranty. Twelve months on the screen and parts, matching the Bike+ at 88 on Warranty.
What to know first
- Value is the lowest factor at 60. The bike is $1,695, the All-Access membership adds about $600 a year, and clip-in shoes are extra.
- No Auto Resistance. The 100 magnetic levels are set by a manual knob. That is the main thing your extra $1,000 buys on the Bike+.
- Reliability trails at 78. This is the lowest Reliability score among the connected bikes here, and lower than the Schwinn IC4's 88.
- Delta pedals only. Cycling shoes are required from day one.
Our verdict
The Peloton Cross Training Bike scores 78, Fair Buy. It is the right buy when you want Peloton's classes on Peloton's screen and can live with manual resistance. The Bike+ (80, $2,695) is better if Auto Resistance matters; the Schwinn IC4 (84, $795) is better if you mainly want the app and can supply your own tablet.
