Schwinn Fitness IC Indoor Cycling Bike Series

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.

The bike is solid and smooth. Assembly was simple. Great range of resistance that is easily fine tuned. Very satisfied.

When my more expensive brand name bike crapped out on me, I decided to halve the replacement budget and bought this instead. What do you know: This does just about everything I need a home exercise bike to do as long as I put a tablet on the front and just watch tv. Works good, lots of resistance settings, easy to set up and cheaper than some competition. I did have to swap the seat though.

The bright side: I love the sturdiness of this bike and the smooth, dead-silent ride. It’s a heavy piece of hardware, but it went together easily (by myself). The less-than-bright side: The electronics that come with this bike don’t integrate with anything, not even with the software Schwinn offers (JRNY or Explore the World). A few notes: — The Schwinn IC4 computer unit won’t power or charge my iPad (the bike is connected to power and the screen is “lit”) — Cannot get the pulse to show any data. Ever. No matter what extra devices or services I have tried. — If I press Bluetooth to sync with a heart-rate device, the JRNY app ends my workout. In fact, the Bluetooth option (on screen) seems to appear only at random times — Cannot use any Apple HomeKit speakers (HomePods or EarPods) with JRNY or Explore the World apps, even though these are playing via a compatible iOS device — There is no correlation between the data shown on the screen and what’s shown in JRNY or Explore the World. These are wildly different. — Unable to sync AppleWatch heart rate anywhere - even with (expensive) add-on devices or services claiming to do this. — The JRNY app appears to be the only way I can get (very limited) data from the bike into AppleHealth. I assume this will mean I won’t be able to synchronize anything at all once the JRNY trial ends - unless I want to pay for this privilege — It’s extremely hard to use the JRNY app if/when I just want to ride at my own pace, vs doing a guided routine. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s a pain to locate and initiate. I’ve tried everything and am generally pretty adept at coming up with technology workarounds. I had expected at least some basic integration with Apple fitness, GymKit and/or AppleWatch. If I had it to do over again, I’d probably opt for a less expensive bike for now…and wait for someone to come out with a “smarter” bike that still allows me to use my own iOS screen.

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.

Entrega a tiempo, no es ruidosa, fácil de armar, para iniciar en esto del spinning la súper recomiendo, si les aviso que no traer ajuste para tennis especiales de clip

Eu havia pesquisado bastante uma bike de Spinning . E essa marca foi eleita a melhor no quesito qualidade, ergonomia etc. Eu queria comprar a IC4 pela conectividade. Mas pensei melhor e resolvi investir na IC3 que é tão boa quanto e tem poucas diferenças que pra mim, valeu mais a pena pegar a ic3. Estava muito ansiosa e chegou antes do prazo. Faço questão de deixar meu depoimento aqui, estou muito satisfeita. Meu marido montou no mesmo dia em menos de uma hora e já usamos, nossaaa perfeita. Até o banco achei confortável em comparação a tantas bikes que já pedalei. Mas comprei uma capa acolchoada. Realmente a melhor bike ergonometrica. Eu sou alta 1,73 e amei. O preço é alto mas considere um investimento. Bem melhor que pagar barato em uma bike sem qualidade … E ficar frustrado depois. O que me ajudou bastante foi os comentários positivos dessa bike. E foi realmente a melhor escolha!

Es una bicicleta profesional. muy cómoda , con mucha estabilidad, suave al pedaleo., muy fácil de armar., estoy empezando a hacer spinnig y por lo pronto estoy de feliz con ella . Es lo mejor que he tenido en casa

Excelente bicicleta! Muito fácil de montar (recomendo assistir a um vídeo oficial no YouTube).
