Well we had a little touch of warmer weather for a few days here in Chicagoland but it didn’t last so I guess it is still Indoor Bike Riding Season and my latest fitness bike review is still pretty timely.
NordicTrack FX2.7 Upright
I have not had a chance to do many fitness bike reviews on this website lately ~ due to the work that I have been doing on my new treadmill website (more on that in a later post) ~ and I have been concerned that I need to get more than just the latest sales and prices updated.
Well, I received an email this week with a really detailed and valuable Customer Review on one of the newer NordicTrack Exercise Bikes, the NordicTrack GX2.7 Upright which motivated me to do my review of the GX2.7 so I could also post the customer review of this bike.
The reason that I found the customer review of this fitness bike so valuable and helpful is because:
- It is very detailed (over 700 words ~ OK, so I use MS Word to track things like that 🙂 )
- It was written 2 1/2 months after the bike was purchased so the bike has had a fair amount of use and it wouldn’t be one of those “it’s brand new and I just love it because it’s new” reviews.
- The author has owned a similar upright exercise bike from another brand ~ Schwinn ~ so he has ridden and had pretty good experience with the 2 brands and could make a good comparison.
- It was unbiased and included both the negative and positive aspects of both exercise bikes.
- It is difficult to find good, unbiased customer reviews of NordicTrack exercise bikes ~ especially the newer models ~ since they are only sold online directly by NordicTrack and at Sears stores.
The NordicTrack GX2.7 is this year’s upgrade to the GX2.5 which has been a very popular low cost Upright Exercise Bike. I know this because I have seen the volume of sales that the GX2.5 (and more recently the GX2.7) has generated from the referrals from this website to NordicTrack.
Rather than getting into any of the details of the GX2.7 here in this blog post, I’ll refer you to my latest fitness bike review of the NordicTrack GX2.7 Upright here. I have included part of the customer review and a link to the full review on our review page and you can also go directly to the Full Customer Review here.
