This is a Schwinn IC4 vs Peloton bike comparison video. In the next few minutes we'll take a closer look at the similarities and differences of the peloton vs Schwinn IC4 indoor cycling bike. If you're thinking about buying the Schwinn IC4 bike or the Peloton bike plus this video may help you decide which is the better choice for your particular situation. The schwinn ic4 and bowflex c6 are almost the same bike, so if you want to see a bowflex vs peloton video this will also be beneficial to you. There really is no correct way to decide between the Peloton vs Schwinn IC4, each of the bikes have a lot of unique features and benefits. Obviously the Schwinn IC4 is far less expensive, and you'll also only have to buy the peloton digital app subscription for $12.99 instead of the full price all access peloton membership which is $39 per month.
The Peloton bike is a much nicer piece of machinery, as it should be considering it costs over twice as much. While the peloton is nicer than the schwinn indoor cycling bike, the schwinn does excel in two areas at minimum. The handlebars on the schwinn ic4 can move forwards and backwards allowing you to dial in your bike fit much more precisely than on the peloton bike. Also, since the schwinn ic4 does not come with a screen on it to play classes, you are not locked into any one particular cycling app. The same is true for the bowflex c6, so if you are comparing the bowflex vs peloton bike this is the same exact case.
The Schwinn IC4 vs Peloton bike is basically a $1000 question, and the answer is not entirely clear and straight forward. In the next video I'll be comparing the echelon vs schwinn ic4 which is a much more practical comparison as these two bikes serve a lot of the same purposes and needs and are much closer in price points. I hope this Peloton vs schwinn bike video has provided you some value and helped you decide between these two indoor cycling bikes.
This video is very similar to Bowflex vs peloton, the schwinn ic4 is a little different than the bowflex c6 but for the most part it is very similar. I will not be doing a dedicated bowflex c6 vs peloton video unless someone locally can lend me a bowflex c6 since the schwinn ic4 is so similar.

As far as seats go, I'd say they are equally comfortable and I have not had discomfort with either. My favorite saddle is my Brooks saddle on my road bike, I have a video on it on my channel. Everyone seems to have their own preference for bike saddle, so take my seat preference with a grain of salt.

  • My wife and I have owned Schwann spinners since the were made for Johnny G back in 1996 for almost a quarter of century ago. We still have our original spinning bikes. We use DVD, CD music, U tube indoor cycle channels. Gone through a few brake pads and saddles, that’s about it. I alternate between the bike, treadmill, and rower. I did teach indoor cycling from 2001 to 2018 when I retired from teaching exercise classes at 85. So I am off now to cycle on my 24 year old Schwann spinner with my I pad on utube. As an outdoor biker says as he passes you “ Have a nice day”.

I installed a Garmin cadence meter and Garmin speed sensor so I can use my Wahoo Roam V2 on the bike. My rides are auto uploaded to RideWithGPS that I use also use on the road. I measure my workout by speed, time, resistance, and heart rate. Works well for me and has made me a stronger rider. The Schwinn was a wise purchase for us. We own two of them.

  • I rode the IC4 for a year with the Peloton app, but I have so much tailbone ligament pain from it, and back strain from the handlebar position. I rode the Peloton Bike+ and it was a pain-free experience. I was shocked at what I've been missing. Also, I was using a really common conversion chart for the IC4 but it was totally off for my IC4, and all year long I've been doing classes at double the resistance! I wondered why I just couldn't get out of the beginner classes, and that was why. Once I found some other conversion charts and compared to what I know the actual Bike+ is like at say, 40 resistance, I could easily do a long intermediate class.

The two largest negatives are the inability to adjust the handle bars closer to the seat (and I think I have a long torso) and the stitching on the seat. The red area has gotten brittle and the stitching has become an irritant. Not a huge deal.....seat and handlebar adjustments are a bigger deal.

For me I found Peloton at 30 = ic4 4, Peloton at 35= ic4 11, Peloton at 40= IC4 25, Peloton at 45 = IC4 at 33 and then it seems to jump in resistance where peloton at 55 equals iC4 at 50 then seemed to be equal after that. It was totally an unscientific test but I’ve done almost 100 rides on my IC4 so I have a good feel of that one.

    • @@tiffanygalvez8563 there is nothing that I like about the IC4 better than the Peloton (except the price). However, that being said the IC4 is a really good bike and the differences are quite small. I am guessing that the cost to manufacture both bikes is very similar (minus the screen on the Peloton of course). The Peloton is a bit smoother and a bit more refined but where I really get a lot of motivation is from the extra stats and the detailed measurement of output that shows me where I was on my best ride so it helps me push harder on each ride and continue to get better stats. However, if you don't need that extra motivation then the IC4 is probably good enough. The IC4 also lets you use other services like apple fitness etc. that might suit you better. If you have multiple riders the peloton is good as well since you don't need multiple memberships (although there are workarounds for this too that you can find on various forums). I will say that I changed the pedals on both bikes and just got a set of Shimano 520's that seem a little better quality than what is included on either.

    • I have the iC3 but put a Wahoo cadence sensor so I can see my cadence on the phone. The only frustration with the ic3 is that I have to guess the resistance but I just generally guess that based on cadence and how much tension I need.

  • TailHappyTV: the schwinn faq says that the minimum recommended height for this bike is 4'6. My fiancee is 5'1 and I'm wondering if you think it seems like it would fit someone of that size

    @royalgoose@royalgoose3 жыл бұрын
    • I think it would, the seat goes really really low, I tried to demonstrate this in the video, there should be a time stamp for it. The only difficulty could maybe see is reaching the very end positions of the handlebars, but the handlebars do move forward and backwards which really helps with people on the tall and short end of the height spectrum. Hope this helps!

  • Us humans sweat an awful lot. What (non-staining) cleaning solution do you recommend for the handlebars so that they don't turn white and grimy? Do you also hang a towel over them whilst riding? I have seen other (silver-looking) flywheels turn a rusty-brown, but am I to presume that the Schwinn won't corrode because it's coated? Is there anything that discolours because certain parts are difficult to clean? Salty sweat is not our friend, so I am genuinely interested in how you maintain the bike's brand new appearance 😃 Thanks :)

  • I have been riding a Schwinn AC Performance bike for years now and have put in thousands of miles on it. The IC4 is a bit watered down home grade version of that bike. The AC Performance bike I'd pick over Peloton every time - this IC4, I suppose I would pick on a budget but, if you intend to ride lots of miles, the Schwinn AC Performance line is a much stronger pick. It's still cheaper than Peloton, requires no subscription and pretty much zero maintenance (both of which make it cheaper over time). Admittedly, it doesn't have the training classes, or the snazzy screen - but if you are just looking for a solid ride experience that will last for years and years and miles and miles, it's a great bike.

If I were to replace the AC Performance with a subscription service now, I'd likely go with a KICKR + Zwift combo or the like. I'm just hard pressed to spend the $$ when there is nothing functionally wrong with my AC. Yes, the Zwift ecosystem would be more enjoyable but the subscription plus the smart trainer is just money that doesn't need to be spent when I have a more than functional bike now with so much useful life left in it.

  • We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. kzhead.infoUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.
