Best spin bike made
VERIFIED PURCHASE
I have included spin workouts as part of my Ironman training for past 10 years. Keiser bikes are the most solid spin bikes that I have even ridden. If you are looking for a spin bike that is challenging and will last a lifetime, the M3i is a very good option.

Solid Machine
VERIFIED PURCHASE
We purchased our Keiser M3i about 4 months ago and have logged ~1100 miles so far. Overall I would say this is a very solid piece of workout equipment. Neither of us are very large but I would fully believe the weight rating and it seems like it should last a long time. There is plenty of range on the resistance.
I had never used a spin bike prior to this purchase. My wife had and she likes it as much as the bikes she used to use in class. Personally I was surprised/happy with the comfort. I didn't use to cycle much; just limited use of traditional exercise bikes and some mild use of my commuter bike - I was prepared for the worst. From day one however I was able to get a good position and never have had an issue.
We purchased the bike to use along...

We purchased the bike to use along with the Peloton app and love the combo so far. We debated quite a bit to go with the Keiser or the Peloton bike but in the end decided the higher monthly subscription cost and potential replacement cost/obsolescence of the built-in display outweighed the feature of competing in class. The computer on the Keiser makes it easy to follow along with cadence and importantly resistance instructions. While it obviously doesn't match 1:1 with the Peloton it's a huge advantage to have a digital number to track yourself against instead of just a knob as available on most other bikes.
Why 4 stars? I have a few nitpicks:
* "Feel" - There are some swaths of resistance/cadence where when seated I think you feel the magnet applying resistance or some other grit every few strokes. There is no grinding or anything like that, just something noticeable. Doesn't impact the workout/resistance feeling but I didn't notice this on LeMans Revmaster I had to use for PT. I wonder if it is a product of the lighter flywheel (which is great for the knees).
* Noise level - Make no mistake, the bike is not loud at all - we don't hear it elsewhere in our house or over the classes we're listening to. It's just that Keiser advertises it as near-silent. Of course this is a subjective statement but I wouldn't call it that. I think most of it is due to air from the flywheel reflecting off the plastic housing. The LeMans Revmaster had an open flywheel which "seemed" quieter, but tough to make a direct comparison in their respective environments.
* Minor cosmetic defects - none of these impact use but the computer housing has a scratch on the inside, the water bottle holder had a chip and there were scratches on the flywheel. None of them are a big deal, just not expected for a $2000 bike.
* Tools - Would have been nice to have the required tools included.
Overall I'd definitely recommend the bike and hope to use it for many years.

Perfect!
VERIFIED PURCHASE
I got the bike as a gift from my spouse. Bike is great! Very smooth. Gives you the gym feel at home. Love the adjustments for the seat, handle bars. I am a large person and this bike accommodates my body and weight. Don't know why I waited so long to make the purchase.

Love it!
VERIFIED PURCHASE
We received our M3i about a month ago and have been loving it! My wife and I both exercise everyday. We had seen the commercials for another stationary bike company. We did extensive research. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best there is!! With a little help from the tech guys at Keiser we were able to get the apps we wanted linked up with our bike. They sent us great directions to make everything work! We love it!!

Quality design, workmanship, and performance
VERIFIED PURCHASE
I’ve ridden the M3i many times at my local club, so I knew what to expect in terms of design and performance. But assembling one at home, I got to see just how well-built each and every component is. Impressive.
