Cross Training Bike Plus

The Cross Training Bike Plus is Peloton’s premium indoor cycling bike – the Bike+ hardware, sold by some retailers under this newer “Cross Training” branding – built around a 23.8” touchscreen that swivels a full 360 degrees so riders can pivot directly from a cycling class into floor-based strength, yoga, or mobility work. Auto-Follow automatically adjusts magnetic resistance to match instructor cues across 100 micro-adjustable levels, and independent power-meter testing has found its output accuracy essentially matches a dedicated PowerTap meter, putting it in the same class as purpose-built smart bikes. A built-in camera (Peloton IQ) offers basic form feedback on structured floor movements, and the bike pairs with Apple Watch via Apple GymKit for real-time heart rate. All of this content – live classes, a library of 2,000-plus on-demand workouts, and a well-regarded instructor roster – requires a separate All-Access membership (around $49.99/month), which is the biggest ongoing cost on top of the roughly $2,695 hardware price. The trade-offs are real: reviewers and owners both flag pedal failures and resistance-calibration drift as recurring hardware issues, the 5-year-frame/1-year-parts warranty is shorter than the roughly 10-year standard elsewhere in the category, and the clip-in pedals require separate cycling shoes (about $125/pair) that take some practice to use comfortably. It’s best suited to riders who will genuinely use the cross-training feature set – cycling plus strength plus mobility – rather than cyclists who only want a stationary trainer.
