Product Summary
NordicTrack’s Commercial VU 19 Exercise Bike is an upright stationary smart bike which comes equipped with a 7-inch HD color touchscreen, two 2-inch Bluetooth compatible speakers, automatic trainer controls, and a 30-day free iFIT trial for an interactive training experience. If you do not plan to maintain an iFIT membership, the VU 19 has 32 pre-programmed workout options from which you can choose.
The bike features a 19-pound inertia-enhanced flywheel with 24 levels of digital resistance driven by a SMR system. Experienced cyclists may find that this flywheel doesn’t provide enough resistance for them, however it still offers a solid range of resistance.

Users can monitor their heart rate with the EKG grip pulse sensor located on the handlebars or the included iFIT Bluetooth smart chest strap.
