The name is practically synonymous with “bike” the way Kleenex is with “tissue”.

First, we noticed that the speed and distance readings on the bike’s own display seemed too high; in fact, they were way off. We like to think we are fast, but we also know that we average mph on an actual road ride, not even close to the 27 mph the IC4 recorded. If you base your indoor training rides on speed, distance, or calories burned, this bike will not be giving you accurate readings. Likewise, with Zwift, it has an exceptionally high power output reading that makes you seem superhuman. According to forums we found online, this problem is quite common.
