Schwinn Indoor Cycling Bike Series Large Black

Solid cycling experience. Quiet. My wife really likes the handlebar adjustment forward and back. Our old bike handlebar was too far away from her. Assembly was pretty easy, especially when I discovered and watched a Youtube video. The owners manual is not great. Drawings are unclear. Two negatives: 1. The console readings for mph and calories burned seem out of whack. I know about how fast I ride a road bike. The speed is too high. The calories are 30% higher than what my Garmin watch estimates from my heart rate and body weight. 2. When I wrote to the vendor (JHT -Johnson Health Tech?) to inquire about this, I received a legalistic bunch of mumbo jumbo about “out of warranty” service. The bike is brand new. I sent the requested info - serial number, etc., etc., but still did not receive an adequate explanation.

I am so happy I chose this over the the more expensive peloton or the less expensive echelon. Although I don't have the echelon (ex 15) their price doubled over the holiday and is now almost the same price as the ic4. So why would we even consider the ex 15 anymore. The ic4 have been great. Assembly was simple. I did it all by myself and it was easy breezy. The quality is great and it is truly silent. I read people complained about the handlebars not moving towards you enough and I agree. I wish I could pull it towards me a bit more since I'm really short but I know other bikes dont even have 4 way adjustment. The bike looks great and feels sturdy. I've ridden off the saddle and and clipped in and I feel good about it. The saddle is fine and I know people complain how it's not soft enough. Spin bike saddle is not supposed to be squishy. It should be supportive which it is and when you're doing spin classes you'd be leaning forward a little anyways. It's not supposed to be like a cruiser saddle. There are a few things I wish were different but I think these are more so preference rather than an issue. I wish the tablet holder was more upright or adjustable. I find my tablet sits on funny angle and if it was more upright there would be less glare. I wish the strap on the hr monitor was less scratchy. I'm only complaining becasue I have a better hr monitor to compare to. If I didn't I probably wouldn't think much about it. Lastly I actually think it better to have the weights behind the saddle rather than under the handlebars. I feel it's more natural to sit up and then pick up the weights rather than grab the weights then sit up. Love it so far and look forward to enjoying this for years.

Me encantó, súper pro! Tiene todo para hacer el mejor indoor cycling desde casa! Lo mejor de todo es que no hace ningún ruido al ser de resistencia magnética! Vale la pena la inversión, la súper recomiendo!

I ordered "used" so the packaging was awful. But that was part of the bargain so I wasn't upset about it. Single mom budget so saving a few hundred and getting the bike I really wanted was a HUGE plus. The bike seemed brand new and all of the pieces were present. I am guessing the package was damaged at some point but the bike was still brand new. Not a speck of dust or a scratch anywhere. Original plastic packaging/bags were still in place. I watched a YouTube vid and followed along so assembly was a breeze. Honestly, if I can do it so can you. Save yourself the $150 and assemble yourself. The bike works beautifully. On the 2nd day I noticed some squeaking in the pedals but again I just you tubed and there was a helpful video that showed you how to grease the screws in the pedals. Make sure you pay close attention when screwing in the pedals, the left one goes the opposite direction that what you think and doing it wrong could cause damage. Use a pedal wrench if you have one, but the tool that comes in the box will suffice. Make sure you screw things in very tight, but don't overdo it. I have been riding for over a week and NO issues. Love it. Whisper quiet. A peloton would be better if you really need to have exact cadence, speed and HR on your app but there are work arounds for that. The screen on the IC4 gives you an estimate of cadence and the bike comes with a HR monitor but I just set my apple watch to indoor bike and that woks fine for me, for now. I might get a wahoo cadence monitor later. The resistance is NOT THE SAME as the peloton, so if you are using the peloton app make sure you learn the conversion scale, otherwise you might burn out too quickly. For example, resistance 25 on Peloton is about 5 on the Schwinn. It's beautiful and sturdy! Everything is easy to adjust. The seat is SUCH good quality for this type of bike. The pedals have cages but on the flip side there are clips if you prefer to clip in. Two water bottle holders and weights right up front. I hear if you are over 6ft your knees might hit the water bottle holders but I don't have that problem. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I guess if I had to say one thing about it that I don't absolutely love. It's that the tablet holder isn't adjustable, but it's really not that much of an issue. I rigged it with a hand towel so my iPad screen was at the angle I preferred. I wish I would have made this purchase years ago instead of wasting time stressing about finding the best deal. Having one of these at home is one of the best investments you can make.

This is my first indoor bike, which I bought because I am injured and can't run right now. I'm 6'3" 190lbs and the bike is very sturdy with me on it. I have put nearly 90km on it so far and the bike is almost perfect. It's very well built, it has bluetooth and connects very easily to my Garmin watch which can then upload to Strava. I don't even feel the need for a tablet or Zwift or anything like that. The resistance is super customizable and I find it very easy to get a killer workout in. I am definitely not feeling like I'm missing any cardio from not being able to run! Actually, I think my running will be even better if I keep using this thing once I return to regular run training. The bike is extremely quiet when pedaling. I live in a condo and I have it right up against my living room wall so I was concerned about noise. No issues at all. My only dislike is that it says it good for people up to 6'6" but I don't know about that. At 6'3" I have the seat at the highest setting and it's just not quite enough. Another quarter inch or so would be nice. Also, if I'm out of the saddle I cannot use water bottles as they stick out too much and even without water bottles I have to be careful not to hit my knees on the empty holders. However, the bike is still killer and I can work around the minor fit issues. It's that good!
