TDF PRO BIKE REVIEW
Named after its namesake, the Tour de France, the TDF PRO by ProForm is a definite buy for those looking to add the experience of real road races and studio class training to their home workout schedule. The 22-inch HD Screen on top of a performance driven Bike is great – it swivels 180° and tilts up and down, which we really enjoyed! – an especially handy feature for cross-training components of a class where you can be required to get off the bike. But that's up to you and driven by the classes you select. Conveniently work out at home on your own schedule and avoid having to stress over getting a spot at your local gym or spin studio.
Follow elite professional trainers as they lead you through cycling and cross-training exercises. They keep you motivated on and off the bike. Now you can have your own space in an energetic studio right from your home gym.
The TDF Pro kicks your ride up a notch with its unique 20% incline to 20% decline capability, a popular feature that gives a realistic, real-road feeling and helps cardio and strength building with some resistance training. You always burn way more calories by cycling at an incline by the way. The TDF Pro Bike can automatically incline or decline to match the gradient of the terrain of your iFit Google maps workout or manually make your own adjustments to suit.
You can top off your training by adding upper-body strength moves.
Two 3-pound dumbbells are included with the bike. The streamed classes incorporate full body cross fit exercises so you get an overall body workout.
THE PROFORM TDF PRO BIKE HAS A 22-INCH HD TOUCHSCREEN. ALSO GREAT FOR CROSS TRAINING. SHIPS WITH 2 THREE POUND DUMBBELLS INCLUDED
WHAT WE LOVE
Studio Classes • 10” HD touchscreen • 20% Incline • Cross-fit

If you are looking to get fit or lose weight you want an iFit Coach on your side. Studies have shown that spinning as your only workout is great cardio but can lead to weight gain. iFit workouts add resistance and strength building to your routine to help burn those calories while adding muscle and bone density.
With the TDF Pro its +20% incline and -10% decline capability enable you to 3 burn 3 times the calories in the same time. It changes up your work-out and we found makes it is a lot more challenging. The bike can automatically adjust to sync with the iFit studio class and destination workouts. ─ Very Cool if you like that kind of thing - if not make your own adjustments.
Overall, this exercise bike is well built and operates quietly with its Silent Magnetic Resistance technology SMR™
