So I’m looking for a stationary bike that I can race other people on. My budget is only about 2k. Not even sure if that’s enough to get this accomplished but wanted to ask. I know the swift app is popular but not sure what stationary bike is compatible with it.

I have a S22i Norditrac that I can purchase locally but that’s about it. Other than that I will have to order which is fine. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Do you mean Zwift? If so, you might be in luck. They're selling a Stages SB20 for $1999 Here's a link of indoor bikes compatible with zwift: LINK.

Of course, it may be better value to buy a smart trainer and a road bike but you didn't ask for that. Just a suggestion though.

You can also use a regular bike on a Smart Trainer such as Tacx. You can get a Tacx Flow trainer for as little as $350 which is what I have. I only use it during bad weather though. If you're using it several times a week, the Wahoo Kickr for about $1200 is very popular.

Chain Reaction is actually selling the Elite Direto for 40% off right now. I have it and like it. For $500 for that and $1500 on a road bike could get you a really nice setup. Again, I don't know if OP is looking for that but if he's ever going to want to ride outside it's a hell of a deal.

AS others said: just get a beater bike and a Wahoo Kickr or something, and you can be well within budget with a baller trainer.

You can swap your actual riding bike off/on the trainer, but a lot of people like to have a dedicated frame for the trainer instead of having to take their actual bike they ride on/off.
