An update after 1 month of use. I decided to return it. The list of things I could live with: 1. The stupid square/trapezoid shape of handles. 2. Very large edges of the tablet/smartphone holder that overlapped wattage and heartrate section in Zwift on my iPhone 14 pro. Thing I couldn't live with: Inability to adjust the seat correctly. I was struggling for ne month, damaged few bolts. But couldn't make it parallel to the ground. This was just killing me. And this is the main reason I'm returning it. If some of you are lucky enough to get a bike that doesn't have this problem, go ahead and use it. It's fantastic. But tunability to adjust the saddle to your needs is an absolute game stopper for me. @elie129 @juanjoseperea9354 @jeremy11tie
In your written russian review, you mentioned you wanted to try it with myWhoosh. Have you tried it? Does it work? What about non ERG mode? Could you change the gears with + and - ? Did Decathlon agree to change the bearing?
You can hear a little cracking noise when the right crank goes down. I think this is something with bearings or something. Other than that I’m quite happy. Wrote a review in Russian. You can google translate it. But I might make one in English later. telegra.ph/Decathlon-Domyos-Challenge-Bike-05-20
for the slight noise, I don't know if it's normal, maybe check with Decathlon and then that will allow them to correct for their future model if the noise is not normal. after the domyos challenge bike makes me want, I already have the classic 900 bike from domyos and I want to upgrade to something more efficient

That compatibility would be interesting, yeah 😊
I tried it with MyWhoosh in ERG mode. It was okay. Didn't try it in a freeride.
Any update after this time?
Update in a pinned comment.
Did the bike run with rouvy?
It worked with Zwift and MyWhoosh. I believe Rouvy shall also work.
Really quiet ! Do you like the "Challenge bike " ??
