Cycleops bikes are ideal for those looking for a real road bike feel and for those looking to improve their performance training.
Pros

If you’re a hardcore cyclist, you will appreciate how Virtual Training not only provides you with a beautiful digital background, but it also gives you a full tracking service for each of your workouts. You can even install Virtual Training to your tablet and take it outdoors with you on your road bike.
PowerTap Technology – Any stationary bike currently on the market can measure your speed, distance, and heart rate, but CycleOps took measuring things to a new level when they measured how much power can go to one pedal. This is extremely helpful in pinpointing and determining peak performance for athletes.

Cons
Clunky sounds – Some users have been known to complain about clunky sounds coming from the pedals and the seats. It can be quite annoying knowing how expensive one unit is.
