THANK YOU for posting that audio clip of the actual flywheel. Great video 🙌🏼

Got my IC4 just over 2 months ago. Amazing paired with the Peloton app. Lost nearly 10 pounds already!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks brother, was really looking forward to this review!! Looked at a Peloton but out of my price range and don't like clip in pedals. Everyone is talking about this bike as a good alternative but there are not very many good reviews on KZfaq. Your unboxing and directions video was awesome.

Solid, structured review. Good job

thanks for your your review, excellent presentation, purchased the Ic4 very pleased with it.

Hey Guys! Check out my Long Term Review of this bike here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osWnhdeerdTPZ3k.html 😁

Excellent review! Finally, a review that provides needed information that did not sugar coat short comings and pointed out the multiple strengths of the equipment. Most so called reviews are uninformative written and directed by the manufacturers that are over dubbed with hype music. This review is much better than those videos.

Thanks for a high quality, helpful video. Subscribed.

Thanks for such a detailed review. I ordered this bike with assembly a couple days ago from the Schwin site because everyone else that could ship sooner was out of stock. I'm super excited! The price increased $100.00 the next morning after I purchased it. I hoping it doesn't take 60 days to ship though.

Great review! Straight forward and precise. I am considering adding a spin bike to my home gym and this was helpful.

This was a very precise review! Top to bottom, covering all angles. I was particularly impressed with the riding demonstration as it let me know how I would feel on the bike. One suggest, as I didn't recall you mentioning your height as this would have been helpful as it would have provided a range of how the bike would fit for others.

Very thorough review, thank you!

Great video! You sold me. im going to pick one up this week!

Great video. I ordered mine on April 22. Can’t wait to get it

Great review! Thank you!

Great review! I'm teetering between the Schwinn and Bowflex. Now to go find that review.

Just ordered mine!....Thanx!

Nice review, thank you!

Great video! I think you inspired me to buy one.

Excellent review

Great review. Thanks.

Thank you 😊

I'm really interested in the bike. I love the fact that I can choose what app I want to use and I'm not locked in. I hate the proprietary nature of higher end brands like Pelton and all the ridiculous overpriced add ons. I already have my own tablets, bike shoes, heart rate monitor, etc so the Schwinn is a great option

Waiting for mine!!

Great post! I’ve been waiting for someone to post a video of the IC4 bike in motion. I’m waiting for mine to arrive!!

Grrrrrrrrrreat review.

Great video. I just got mine. Mirrors my complaints with it too. I also really hate that heart monitor. Feel like just returning it and getting a sunny magnetic + apple/garmin smart watch and wahoo speed+cadence instead and I'll get better value for my money .

Thanks to your install video, I assembled mine last night and rode it this morning. As soon as I got on the bike, the resistance level showed 0 so I thought I'd start there. In a couple of minutes I was struggling LOL, and I realized the resistance level was turned up and was not at 0 like the display. When I turned the knob left, the resistance decreased, but the number stayed at 0. Then when turning clockwise, the number wouldn't change then after a turn or two would start to increase. There's something wrong here for sure. Is there a video somewhere explaining/fixing this? Thank you!

Great video. I have the Bowflex C6. I agree with you about the resistance. To solve that I read on a post to remove the cover of the magnet and there is a 13mm bolt that you can loosen. This will take some of the tension off of the magnet. It is definitely tough at zero. Also if anyone is military or veteran you get a 30% discount from Bowflex. Made mime $699 before tax.

thanks for the review! Mine's on order from a local fitness store (IC4), and they said "June" whereas Bowflex said expect to wait until July (for the C6) Hopefully the store wasn't exaggerating.

Thanks very much for this excellent and thorough review. I am trying to decide between this and the Concept2 Bikeerg--are you familiar with it and can you make a recommendation?

Awesome review, thank you! I have a question regarding the resistance. My wife is getting ready to rehab from knee surgery and I noticed in your video you said the lowest resistance feels like a 20 on the Peloton. Would that be too much strain on her knee in your opinion? I've never been on a Peloton so I don't know what a 20 would feel like. Also does it have an emergency stop like other bikes for the flywheel? Thanks!!!

I just got mine this week. Love it so far. Not sure if you can shed some light. So I’m using the peleton app via an iPad. No issues. However, I would like to sync the data with Strava. I don’t see a way to do this via the app. I’m also the owner of a Garmin watch. Would be nice to sync to Garmin to Strava. Any recommendations?

Is this bike the same as the bowflex c6?

Do you think it is waste to get a bike for people who already has elliptical?

I like to pedal against heavy resistance, as if I'm pedaling through mud or molasses, or up a big hill, where I have to struggle hard to peddle and have to stop after 30-45 seconds, rest and repeat over and over to blast my quads. I have strong legs(squat 315lbs. for reps) and stay seated while pedaling. Is the maximum resistance on this bike sufficient for me to accomplish what I describe?

Great post! I ordered a bike waiting 7-29, I have been reading a lot about issues with pedals cross treading and needing to replace the crank. Curious if you replaced your pedals or if you are using stock without issue.

I noticed there is some rocking on the bike when you pedal. Could you please tell us more about ? Is it only when you stand or even rocks when fast pedalling on the saddle? I'm surprised about the sound. Other magnetics are completely silent.

Can you measure what the q factor of the crankset is? I'm have trouble finding hard info and get conflicting reports from people.

I may look into this bike

Thank you for this review! Do you know the difference with the IC7, the one with no magnetic resistance ? I wonder if the difference is big or if it is comparable (a part for the Bluetooth connection)

Super helpful video! Would this bike be stable enough to use on carpet with a mat underneath? Thanks!

Is there a power output during/after each ride that would get logged in my peloton app? If I use the peloton app, I understand I won't have leadership participation but would I be able to tell where I would be on the leaderboard as it's a function of total power output?

Can you tell me if the pedals have a "neutral' position? What I mean is, if I stop pedaling to rest, do the pedals continue to spin with the flywheel? Hope that makes sense.

This may have been answered already, but with the ability to pair to any app does that mean you can participate in live classes like with Peloton and have your stats show up on their roster?

Great review! Would you happen to know the q factor on the IC4? If not then how does it feel? (Wide or narrow) I'm 5'6 like yourself so your feel would be a good

Great video. I’m 240 , 6’4 and I’m worried about this bike rocking when I pedal hard . I know this bike has a max weight capacity of 350 pounds but I see some wobbling in your video as you ride. The total weight of this bike is 105 while The peloton on the other hand is 135 , I’d hate to go with the peloton just for sturdiness if it’s really a none issue for this bike ?

how do you know where to put the resistance when following the Peloton videos?

Is there a spin bike where you don't have to lean forward like bikers do? Can I adjust handles so I can seat in a more upright position when biking? I have 2 buldging disk in my back so I would like to be able to adjust seat and hundles where I can keep back straight and with good posture while spinning. Looks uncomfortable to use bike leaning forward with head almost touching handles like I have seen people do and also arching back while placing hands on handles?? also does bottom gets very sore and painfully after spinning workout, specially doing it every day or every other day for 30-40 min?? I been trying to decide between this and echo rogue airdyne bike to use at home for hitt and maybe long biking workouts... Bike looks pretty cool and I know it will give me a good workout, however I don't know if Iam gonna a like just seating there pedaling for 30- 40 min.. I lift 3x a week and every other day 2x a week I do 30 min hitt workouts.. Battle rope, kettle bell, punching bag, ply box, airdyne etc, etc... I always do 40sec on 20 off with a variety of exercises for 30-35 min.. Don't know if the spinn bike will fit in my workouts or if I really need it? Maybe if I don't feel like doing hitt I can jump on the spin bike and do a peloton workout or something like that. Do you think spin bike is for people that don't like doing hit workouts or people that don't have any other equipment or maybe they just like biking?? Sorry for all the questions..just trying to decide between spinn bike and airdyne bike.. Thank u

Anyone been able to connect the IC4 to Rouvy? I've tried with my phone with no luck. :/

It looked like you had an Android tablet but I heard the peleton software is not as great on Android. Would you recommend someone just starting out pick up an iPad to get a better experience or we you happy with how the Android worked?

I just got mine but it squeaks a bit and I can’t figure out where it’s coming from

Has anyone used the Schwinn IC2? Are you able to do interval training with it where you get completely out of breath?

I’m really torn between a bike like this or the bowflex M6 trainer (elliptical/stepper)

My seat shaft is super squeaky and noisy. What do you recommend I do?

What kind of mat did you purchase and from where? I’m going to have mine on carpet...

Can you do interval training reaching maximum heart rate with any flywheel weight? I see flywheels ranging from 20lbs to 50lbs.

Does anyone know how much these usually go for? I'm thinking of getting the IC8. Thanks

I noticed the Speed is in KM, can it be changed to MPH?

My Bowflex the same bike I received and the flywheel was damaged. Schwinn core health and fitness set me a new flywheel. What a freaking nightmare to swap out the flywheel; 1. To remove the drive train shroud / plastic cover requires a non-standard bicycle crank extractor - You will have to purchase this crank extractor directly from Schwinn/core health and fitness. You can't buy this tool anywhere else. Took 6 weeks to get the tool. Brand new bike which I couldn't fix because I didn't have the crank extractor tool. 2. You cannot remove the flywheel without disassembling the resistance mechanism. Disassembling the resistance mechanism is an arduous and complicated process because there's so many parts including the watts measurement device sensor. 3. Once the flywheel is replaced they're so many different screws and parts it's almost impossible to remember which order is required to put everything back together - sadly there's a very specific order which everything needs to be reassembled - fucking pain in the ass and I'm a bike mechanic. 4. With the new Flywheel installed - there was an issue with the resistance mechanism rubbing on top of the flywheel - essentially when you turn the resistance mechanism up to increase the tension the resistance mechanism rubs on the flywheel - I was probably only at about 50% resistance for what I needed for my training. Fuck fuck fuck!! I got this bike did all this work wasted all this time and the resistance mechanism doesn't function properly. My suggestion steer clear of this model bike. Was not a pleasant experience. Lastly 5. The packaging of the replacement flywheel was mediocre and totally inadequate. The box was ripped open, The way they package this heavy flywheel was totally inadequate and it was scratches all over the flywheel. So lame and so disappointing. Some people may think I'm a troll for such a negative review; if you have this bike try using a standard bicycle crank extractor tool - You will see that the standard bicycle crank instructor tool will not work no way Jose. Total number of hours process the warranty orders, get the replacement tool, do all the work I didn't count but probably a total of two work days total. This is one reason not to buy an indoor cycling bike online but instead it's a good idea to purchase a new indoor cycling bike from a local retailer where you can actually get support in real life IRL.

Hiii, thanks for the good review! I just have two questions. Does it need electricity to function or is it manual? Also, how much is it?

Have you tried Zwift? some people report that it has some problem with the data sent to the app. It's extremely easy to win

Does this bike come with a mat?

How much it costs?

Great indoor bike... I have a collection of youtube videos, I follow...

Will the tablet holder fit any size of tablet? Like the iPad 12.9"? Also, with peloton digital, will your metrics be stored in the app? Or is this not possible?

I just ordered my bike! I’m planning to order shoes as well. What cycling shoes do you recommend for women? Also, do I need to purchase cleats?

So max resistance isn't as good as something as paleton?

No Wattage?

Cheap pedals and heavy Handles very uncomfortable Low noise is a plus With good quality pedals the performance improves
