And with the 14 levels of digital magnetic resistance as compared to the 8 levels found on other budget models. You’ll change the tension through the digital display panel rather than a tension knob like on the other models. The good size LCD display console angle can also be adjusted and includes a built-in tablet holder. You’ll find 14 preset workout apps with different levels of resistance and time.
As an iFit Ready Fitness Bike, you can use Google’s Street View on different terrains in different countries of the world or connect it with Bluetooth apps. You will find the On/Reset, Bluetooth, Display, 14 Apps, Digital Resistance – and + buttons around the display and indicators like time, calories, and RPM on the white LED display that helps you monitor your progress. It has a large cushioned seat that is comfortable to sit on over longer exercise sessions and that can be adjusted vertically for height. It is a steady and stable product when installed and will not wobble or shake when you’re working out.
ProForm X-Bike Duo has a space saving design when folded or unfolded. It has a user weight capacity of 250 pounds, which is quite all right for a relatively low priced foldable bike. It has a solid construction and should last you a long time with its sturdy steel frame. As a heavy duty product with a steel frame, it weighs 71 pounds and measures 49 x 18 x 9 inches. It is easy to put together on your own straight out of the box, with the easy to understand assembly instructions and a few simple tools you will need. It has a convenient folding design and transport wheels to be able to move it easily.
X-Bike Duo is quite a versatile unit in terms of the intensity levels you can choose and the positioning of the seat- vertical vs recumbent bike. In the recumbent position, you will be doing a less intense workout that will feel like a nice cooling down from your session, but you will still be burning calories if you choose to exercise in the recumbent set-up. It runs quietly and smoothly and appears to be a great bike at the price level, that gives you the feeling it will last you a long time. You can change it from upright to recumbent and vice versa in a matter of seconds. It comes with a 5-year warranty for the frame and 90-day warranty for the labor and parts.

Our Rating
Rating: 83/100. The ProForm X-Bike Duo is a unique two-in-one exercise bike with iFit Coach readiness. It works as an upright stationary bike, plus it converts for recumbent rides that are gentler on your body. For just $249 the Duo is a bargain… for some. The happiest riders are beginners who aren’t ready for stronger resistance systems.
For exercise guidance you get two choices:
- Fourteen workout routines are built into the console. Each program directs the bike’s speed and resistance to help you use time efficiently. Data are shown on an attached screen with adjustable angle.
- Unlimited iFit Coach workout programs are available by download with iFit Coach membership. The most exciting iFit Coach programs are interactive videos and Google Maps routes with street views: Seated on your X-Bike Duo, you can virtually experience Tour de France segments and infinite other routes worldwide. iFit Coach bike workouts are shown on your mobile device or computer, but they control the bike’s speed and resistance just like on-board programs.
Favorite features of the X-Bike Duo are iFit Coach readiness and a convertible design. We also like the bike’s compatibility with Bluetooth chest straps for wireless heart rate monitoring.
The majority of X-Bike Duo owners seem pleased with the machine. Still, despite the positive reviews be aware that any exercise bike under $500 will have some cheap components. The warranty for the Duo is very short to match the low sale price. We consider this a “starter exercise bike” and not a fitness machine for long-term use.
Pros:
- Two-in-one fitness machine (Upright bike + recumbent bike)
- Needs very little floor space
- Folds and has wheels to assist with storage
- 14 digital resistance levels
- 14 preset workout programs
- Ready for iFit Coach
- Wireless heart rate receiver
- Ledge for smartphone or tablet computer
- Padded seat with vertical adjustment
- Pedal straps for safety
Cons:
- Light resistance
- Not for long-legged people
- Weight limit is 250 pounds
- Short warranty on the frame, parts and labor
- Slow customer service from the manufacturer
