From improved cardiovascular health and cognitive function to a refreshing boost of endorphins, biking has a ton of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. The best at-home exercise bikes offer a convenient way to reap these benefits without ever leaving your home—no fitness studio required. 

At-home workout equipment is typically not cheap, so we’ve found the best exercise bikes to fit many different budgets, which means there are a wide variety of features, add-ons, and accessories to consider. Some bikes come equipped with dumbbells, exercise mats, water bottle holders, and mounts, and ports for your tablet or phone. Many have companion apps with access to live or on-demand classes, and a few even have the ability to connect with additional fitness and health apps via Bluetooth.

Here are the best indoor exercise bikes to help you achieve all the benefits of cycling without having to leave your home.

“If you are someone who loves to see numbers and track your performance, you will want to look for a bike with a performance monitor,” says Stevie Vladic, cycling instructor with CycleBar XPRO for Xponential+. “Different bikes track different stats, like mileage, output of power, how much resistance you have on, etc.”

Another consideration, according to NASM-CPT, cycling instructor, and certified group fitness instructor Susane Pata, is the space you will dedicate to your bike. “It doesn’t even have to be an expensive renovation of space—just a mental acknowledgement that this sacred space is where the work and fitness gains happen,” she explains. “If you have a space dedicated to this mentality where there is a certain activity that is going to happen, you are less likely to skimp out and more likely to be consistent with workouts that really count.”

How we picked:

Reviews

Positive customer feedback helped us determine which bikes were worth considering and which ones weren’t.

Price

At-home bikes are notoriously expensive, which is why this list ranges from affordable to splurge-worthy picks.

Resistance settings

Resistance is what makes indoor cycling so hard. How you add or remove the resistance  can make or break whether  you like a bike. Some bikes even adjust the resistance on their own without you having to touch a thing.

Tech capabilities

When purchasing an exercise bike, tracking and tech capabilities are among the most important features to consider (if you’re prepared to spend a little more). We considered the type of stats that each of these bike tracks, such as heart rate, resistance, distance, output, etc.
