Nautilus, Inc. received a CES 2021 Innovation Award* for its Bowflex VeloCore bike. The product was recognized for its innovative design and as the industry’s first dual-mode indoor cycling bike.
The Bowflex VeloCore bike is the first indoor cycling bike to feature both a stationary setting and leaning mode. In leaning mode, users can push and pull the bike from side-to-side to replicate the movement of outdoor cycling. A proprietary, patent-pending lock-out feature keeps the bike in the stationary mode so users can opt for a traditional cycling workout.
The bike received a CES Innovation Award out of thousands of products entered.
“Since its launch three months ago, the Bowflex VeloCore bike has been extremely popular and continues to receive favorable customer and media reviews — it’s exciting to see that translate into recognition as a fitness industry innovator,” said Jim Barr, CEO, Nautilus, Inc. “This award is also validation that we are empowering healthier living by providing our customers with extraordinary, personalized fitness experiences.”
The Bowflex VeloCore connected bike also integrates with the JRNY digital fitness platform which delivers engaging digital content on a 22-inch HD touch screen. The platform coaches members to achieve their fitness goals by offering curated workout and entertainment options that stream while being coached. JRNY members receive voice-coached individualized workouts, trainer-led video workouts, integration with third party cycling apps, and access to their entertainment subscriptions like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+.** Users can digitally connect to third-party cycling apps to cycle with their favorite trainers via streaming on-demand classes from Peloton or interact, train and compete against others on Zwift.***
