The Schwinn 130 MY20 Upright Exercise Bike now offers both Telemetry and Contact Pulse Grip Heart-Rate monitoring (the previous models only offered contact pulse grip), giving you a choice of heart-rate monitoring.  You do need to supply your own chest strap as it’s not included for Telemetry heart rate monitoring.  The Contact Pulse Sensors are integrated into the bike’s handlebars.


For user comfort, the Schwinn 130 MY20 Exercise Bike’s padded handlebars are angle adjustable and the padded contoured seat is adjustable up/down to suit different rider heights.

Comparing Schwinn 230 versus Schwinn 270 Recumbent Exercise Bikes, What's the Difference?

The Schwinn 230 and Schwinn 270 Recumbent Exercise Bikes offer an effective low-impact workout in the comfort of your own home, with plenty of options to keep your workouts varied, interesting and progressively challenging.

Both the Schwinn 230 and Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bikes are well-built and come highly rated, but what’s the difference between these 2 models and how do you decide which is best for you?

To begin comparing: the Schwinn 270 is the higher-end model over the Schwinn 230, with additional features such as extra programs (29 versus 22), more resistance levels (25 versus 20), additional user profiles (4 versus 2), and Bluetooth connectivity which the Schwinn 230 does not have.

Both the Schwinn 230 and Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bikes utilize a high-speed high-inertia perimeter weighted flywheel together with ECB (Eddy Current Brake) magnetic resistance system which gives a smooth and quiet workout.

The consoles on each of the Schwinn recumbent bikes differs slightly - both have a dual display, but the Schwinn 270's display is blue backlit and is also telemetry enabled for your own heart-rate monitor - features that the Schwinn 230 doesn't have.  Both bikes do however have contact-grip pulse heart-rate sensors in the handlebars.

Both the Schwinn 230 and Schwinn 270's consoles display motivating stats throughout your workout so you can see things like distance, speed, time, calories burned and pulse.  Both bikes also offer USB charging and data export, along with performance tracking with Goal Tracker.  The Schwinn 270 has the advantage of Bluetooth connectivity for seamless transition of workout data to online fitness tracking apps (the Schwinn 230 does not have Bluetooth but you can use the USB port to transfer data instead).

The seat on both the Schwinn 230 and Schwinn 270 is adjustable for different user heights and offers a comfortable workout with a backrest for support.  The backrest is vented to help with airflow and there's even a workout fan built into the console to help keep you cool.

Both the Schwinn 230 and Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bikes feature an acoustic chamber sound system so you can listen to your favorite music as you exercise or you can keep entertained with your mobile device or read a book using the built-in media tray.

Schwinn IC3 versus Schwinn IC2 Indoor Cycle Spin Bike, Comparison Review

Train in the comfort of your own home with the high-quality Schwinn IC3 and Schwinn IC2 Indoor Cycle Spin Bikes. Designed for serious cyclists looking to simulate the feel of a true road bike workout, the Schwinn IC3 and IC2 allow you to continue training no matter what the weather’s doing outside!

Both the Schwinn IC3 and IC2 Spin Bikes are sturdily built with durable components and ergonomically designed with lots of adjustability to give you a safe and comfortable workout.

At a glance, the Schwinn IC3 and IC2 Indoor Cycles look similar in overall design, but have several key differences including a different drive system with the IC3 utilizing a 40 lb flywheel and belt drive while the IC2 utilizes a 31 lb flywheel and chain drive system.

Generally speaking, the heavier the flywheel is the more smooth and consistent the momentum will be, so the Schwinn IC3 has a slight edge over the IC2 in that respect.  Belt drives tend to operate more quietly than chain drives but some people actually prefer the chain drive as they feel it gives a more authentic road bike feel, so this really comes down to personal choice.

Both the Schwinn IC3 and IC2 Indoor Cycles feature infinitive adjustable resistance and a push-down brake with felt-pad system that puts you in total control of your workout.  Sturdily built, you can sit or stand to cycle just as you would with a normal road bike to mimic flat or hill cycling.

Suitable for different user heights, both the Schwinn IC3 and IC2 Spin Bikes feature a racing style saddle that is fully adjustable (up, down, fore, aft).  In addition, the Schwinn IC2 and IC3’s multi-grip position handlebars are adjustable up/down but the IC3’s handlebars have the advantage of also being fore/aft adjustable for more of a custom fit.

The Schwinn IC3 and IC2 Spin Bikes both come with an easy-to-use LCD monitor (powered by 2x AA batteries) that tracks and displays your workout stats including time, speed, distance, RPM and calories.  The Schwinn IC3 has the added advantage of being compatible with a Polar non-coded chest strap for wireless heart-rate monitoring, a feature that the IC2 does not have.

Additional features on both the Schwinn IC3 and IC2 Indoor Cycles include dual pedals (toe cage / clip), water bottle holder, and front-mounted transport wheels for easy relocation.

Both the Schwinn IC3 and IC2 spin bikes feature adjustable stabilizers for leveling on uneven floors and are constructed with oversized corrosion-resistant steel tubing to ensure a safe and sturdy workout.  The Schwinn IC3 is the heavier of the two bikes and supports a slightly higher user weight capacity of up to 300 lbs compared to the IC2’s maximum user weight capacity of 250 lbs.





Fitness tip:  Cycling for just 30 minutes could burn between 207-345 calories for women, or 252-420 calories for men, depending on the intensity of the cycling.


Let’s take a closer look at the main differences and similarities in features and specifications between the Schwinn IC3 and Schwinn IC2 to help you decide on which is the best indoor cycle spin bike for you:

Both the Schwinn 130 and Schwinn 170 Upright Exercise Bikes look very similar to each other and offer you the same aerobic benefits that riding a bicycle outdoors offers, but in the comfort and safety of your own home!

Both the Schwinn Exercise Bikes are well-built and come highly rated, offering the user some great features.
