The Wattbike Proton strikes a balance between functionality, practicality and price – the worthy challenger to Peloton just got even better with $300 off

When it comes to the best exercise bikes, it’s safe to say Peloton is the market leader. However, there are plenty of contenders with equally good performance and features, and the Wattbike range is without doubt a challenger to the Peloton dominance.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner, and Wattbike has dropped an early and significant $300 off the Wattbike Proton—which means you can get the Wattbike Proton for $1,895, 14% off the RRP of $2,195.

In his in-depth Wattbike Proton review, Cycling Weekly’s Features Editor, David Bradford, reckoned the Proton was an exercise bike that was, “A box-ticking exercise bike offering superb value without compromising on essential features.”

Even at full price, the Proton offers the majority of features to compete against rival brand offerings, including an impressive build quality, easy connectivity, and although we found it had some quirks with gear shifting and erg mode responsiveness, it was still an impressive smart bike, and David scored it with a worthy 4 out of 5 star review.

Daylight saving clock changing arrives in the US on the 2nd of November, meaning earlier darker nights are here for the foreseeable future. You may be considering an indoor option and turning to the best indoor training apps like Zwift to keep your summer legs and hard-earned fitness ticking over.

We think this Wattbike deal should be on your radar; however, you’ll have to move fast, as this deal ends on the 31st of October.
