The flat-screen problem

A flat touchscreen never quite feels like you're actually there

Most connected bikes bolt on a flat HD display and call it immersive, but a flat panel is still just a screen on a stick. Scenic rides and studio classes lose some of their depth when the picture stays perfectly rectangular no matter how hard the workout gets.

The Echelon EX-8s Connect Bike solves that with an industry-first curved 24 inch HD touchscreen designed to wrap the ride around the rider instead of just sitting in front of them. The screen still flips a full 180 degrees for off-bike training, so strength, yoga, boxing, and Pilates classes are one motion away without leaving the bike. A Bluetooth resistance controller built into the handlebars lets riders shift through all 32 magnetic resistance levels without ever touching the knob.

Echelon's e-Shock frame system flexes with the rider's movement, easing knee and joint strain during out-of-saddle efforts, while a scratch-resistant powder-coated frame is built to hold up under daily home use.

EX-8s vs EX-7s

Two different priorities, not a simple upgrade

Feature EX-7s EX-8s
Screen Flat 24" HD, 180° pivot Curved 24" HD, 180° pivot
Flywheel Single flywheel Dual-ring, 15-color LED
Handlebars Multi-grip with forearm rests Ergonomic racing bullhorn
Build Focus Commercial-grade cranks & bearings e-Shock joint-friendly frame

Despite the lower model number, the EX-7s is actually positioned as the heavier-duty, light commercial option with competition-level cranks and bearings, while the EX-8s leans into immersive tech and ride comfort for premium home use. The two aren't a strict upgrade path, they're built for different priorities.

What independent testers found

A stable ride, even at the highest resistance

"The frame of the bike itself didn't shake when you started against higher resistance."

Independent Testing Team

A generic spin bike will undercut the EX-8s on price, but it typically skips the motorized Bluetooth resistance, curved touchscreen, and e-Shock frame flex entirely. Within Echelon's own lineup, the entry-level Connect Upright Pro Bike covers casual riding with a basic LED display and toe cage pedals, while the EX-8s steps up to a full connected training system for riders who want the most immersive experience Echelon builds.

FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is the Echelon EX-8s Connect Bike worth the investment?

The EX-8s is ideal for serious fitness enthusiasts who want a premium all-in-one experience. With a 24" HD curved touchscreen, 180° rotating display for off-bike workouts, and access to thousands of live and on-demand classes, it delivers exceptional value. If you're committed to consistent training across cycling, strength, yoga, and more, the EX-8s offers a gym-quality experience from home.

What is the warranty and return policy for the Echelon EX-8s?

The Echelon EX-8s typically includes a limited manufacturer warranty covering the frame, parts, and labor. Specific warranty terms and return windows may vary by retailer. We recommend reviewing the product warranty documentation included with your purchase and contacting customer support directly for return eligibility details before buying.

What makes the Echelon EX-8s screen different from other connected bikes?

The EX-8s features the industry's first curved 24" HD touchscreen, designed to create a more immersive, theater-like experience during workouts. The screen also rotates 180°, allowing you to flip it away from the bike for off-bike training sessions like strength, yoga, boxing, and Pilates.

Do I need a subscription to use the Echelon EX-8s Connect Bike?

Yes, to access Echelon's full library of live and on-demand classes, an Echelon Premier Membership subscription is required. Without a subscription, basic manual riding is still possible, but you won't have access to guided classes or performance tracking features that make the EX-8s experience complete.

What types of workouts can I do with the Echelon EX-8s?

Beyond cycling, the EX-8s supports a wide range of workouts thanks to its rotating screen. Users can access classes in strength training, yoga, boxing, Pilates, stretching, and more — all led by world-class Echelon instructors. This makes it a versatile fitness hub rather than just a stationary bike.

How difficult is it to assemble the Echelon EX-8s Connect Bike?

The Echelon EX-8s is designed for relatively straightforward home assembly and comes with the necessary hardware and instructions. Most users can complete setup in under an hour. Professional assembly services are also available through select retailers if you prefer a hassle-free setup experience.
