WHAT TO KNOW
The ProForm Studio Bike Pro 22 was made to support weights up to 250 lbs. and features Silent Magnetic Resistance that allows you to easily switch gears without interruption, providing up to 24 levels of resistance. The flywheel is designed to deliver a natural biking experience that is smooth, friction-less, and silent keeping up with you even on your longest sessions. The bike’s Frame comes with a 10-year warranty. The pedals can be swapped out for clip-in pedals that support just cycling shoes or one that support both cycling shoes and sneakers.
CAN I SWAP OUT PEDALS?
The Proform Studio Bike Pro 14 ships with dual-sided SPD cycling shoe pedals and also supports those who prefer to ride with just sneakers. The Proform Studio Bike 22 however does support clip-in cycling shoes out of the box. You can upgrade or switch out the pedals, for either model, for other clips-in pedals brands you prefer so you can ride with clipless bike shoes.
We recommend Shimano PD-ME700 pedals which are SPD clips-in. Easy to replace, the Proform Studio Bike Pro models, both use 9/16 standard pedal thread. To change to clip-in pedals just unscrew the ones on the bike and screw in the replacing clip-in ones. The Shimano PD-ME700 SPD pedal is one option, and they work well. You can Buy them at Amazon or shop there for other brands.
Some Shimano pedal models have a clip-on on one side and can have a toe cage type on the other side which is great if you are sharing your bike with riders who prefer the cage style or just want to use sneakers to ride. The Venzo Shimano SPD Pedals with Toe Clips & Straps are very popular for this. Also check out the Wellgo E229 Shimano SPD Compatible Pedals.
