The main difference between the Schwinn IC3 and IC4 is the mode of resistance. Cycling bikes and treadmills use two major drive systems or modes of operation - friction pad flywheels and magnetic resistance. Here, the Schwinn IC4 operates provides resistance through magnetism while the Schwinn IC3 is equipped with friction pads, also known as flywheel. What this means is, the IC4 is quieter and requires less maintenance since magnetic resistance does not involve a lot of moving parts. The Schwinn IC3 uses friction pads that need to be replaced over time. Additionally, it is not quiet and therefore not the best for home use.

Esoteric or not, this is by far the most informative direct comparison video of two bikes I have been able to find in my research for one this week
I don’t know what your talking about I’ve had the ic3 for 3 years now and it’s whisper quiet with the belt drive and I’ve had no maintenance issues and I’ll change the pads when I need to , haven’t yet. It’s a great bike
Exactly, I have the ic3 and is pretty quiet !!!
