Recently I discovered that Proform has just come out with a new fitness bike that they have added to their Tour de France category on the Proform website. This got my attention right away since I know how popular the Proform Tour de France (TDF) bike has been and since it is in a unique fitness bike category.

New Proform GT

The new fitness bike, the Proform GT Training Bike, has some (but not all) of the features of the Proform TDF but sells for less than 1/2 the price. This is great news for anyone who has been interested in the Proform TDF but did not want to fork out the $2,000 that this year’s TDF model sells for. It has taken some time to research this product but I have found quite a bit of information on the Proform GT and have completed the review for this website. Our review also includes quite a few comparisons to the Proform TDF models since Proform has placed this bike in the TDF category.

One thing that I wanted to mention before I post the link to our new review on this bike is that I have used a few different “exercise bike” terms when describing this bike. Most exercise bikes fall into the categories of Upright, Recumbent, Indoor Cycle (or less accurately as SPIN® bikes although SPIN® is a registered trademark of Mad Dogg Athletics and should only be used when referring to their indoor cycling products) and Fan Bikes.

The Proform GT (like the Proform TDF) falls best into the Indoor Cycle category although traditional Indoor Cycling bikes are mostly mechanical and have a friction based resistance where the Proform GT has a magnetic resistance. This is why I also refer to this bike as a Fitness Bike (general term), Indoor Cycle or Training Bike. It is really in a fairly unique category so take your pick…
