Bowflex VeloCore Review (2024): Innovative Leaning Bike

Author: Caroline Lubinsky, CF-L1

About a month ago, I was watching TV and an advertisement for the new Bowflex VeloCore popped on screen. I was fascinated to see a bike trying to compete with Peloton but with an added layer of intrigue: it can lean while you’re riding. Right away, I knew I had to order it and try it out for all you fine folks in the Garage Gym Review community. I love the core engagement you get when using the lean mode on this bike. It’s such a unique and fun feature that separates the VeloCore from other exercise bikes for a home gym. In this Bowflex VeloCore review, you can expect to see my opinion on what really matters – durability, overall value, and the leaning feature. I put this bike through my standardized tests to help you decide if this is worth your money. Read the full review.

Pros & Cons

What We Like...

Leaning feature activates core muscles
Large monitor with lots of information
Durable with almost no shaking while in use
User-friendly and simple to get started

What Needs Improvement...

Difficult assembly with unclear instruction
Limited music options with JRNY membership
Uncomfortable seat
Sub-par warranty

Product Summary

Meet the indoor bike that’s thoughtfully engineered with leaning mode to create a wildly immersive riding experience. You’ll rock, sway, and bend to life down winding roads. Tilting gently from side to side as you sprint like a banshee toward the finish line. It’s a high-intensity escape that’ll help to ignite your arms, core, and your thrill for epic outdoor adventure…all from your living room.
