Just sharing some thoughts on my new Schwinn IC8. After weeks of being asked for this bike by my Wife, I finally caved in. Overall, it’s a great bike with some awesome features. I love the bluetooth app connectivity, it makes indoor cycling so much more fun! What do you guys think?

Nice review. Very straightforward and informative. I bought one of these bikes about a year ago, but never really used it. I was excited to try some apps with it, but then I always use my old airdyne instead because it works upper body too. The IC4 looks cool in my living room though. This video has resparked my interest, so I will sign up for Peloton and Zwift soon. Hope you have good luck with it long term.

@AriffSuffian 3 года назад

Hey! Thanks for stopping by. It’s definitely a well featured bike that looks awesome too. Definitely give it a go with the apps, it makes it so much more fun!

@arturgajewskiphotog 3 года назад

What is the max saddle height from the crank to the top of the seat?

@Lasastard 2 года назад

Thanks for the video, just ordered mine! Maybe as a short comment, since you state you are not a cyclist - the saddle needs to go a bit higher. There is various formulae for this, but basically - the knees should be slightly bend at the lowest point of the pedal stroke - and the tip of your knee should line up (looking from the top) with your pedal when the pedals are in level position. That way you are not over-straining your joints.

@AriffSuffian 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip! I should’ve mentioned that I didn’t really set the bike up for the video because my wife uses it more often (shorter than me).

@ketteganzrechts 3 года назад

Thank you for the review, Ariff. I bought the IC8 about 5 weeks ago and totally agree with you that it is an awesome bike for a reasonable price. It just has 1 serious disadvantage when connecting to Zwift. I’m not sure if you have noticed that the power (Watts) indicated on the Zwift-screen is unrealistically high. I had to increase my body weight from 79 up to 88 kg to get a nearly realistic average speed (and Watt/kg). I’ve read somewhere that you’re not allowed to take part in Zwift races with an IC8. I don’t understand why they haven’t fixed this problem yet.

@AriffSuffian 3 года назад

Hello Andreas! Thank you for watching my video :) I’m very new to cycling so I’m not too sure what’s a high power output for a bike. I do realise the numbers on the IC8 display are a little off compared to what’s on screen. But thanks for bringing that up, I’ll pay more attention to it on my next ride!

@jeroenvanmarion3062 3 года назад

I have the IC8, but this problem has been around since the beginning. One of the reasons i don't use swift. They advertise it, but it doesn't work properly. Check the forum of swift: forums.zwift.com/t/schwinn-ic8-spin-bike/171514 For me swift is just biking. Better go for spinning classes, becaus on a spinningbike you stand most of the time.

@harryp6484 3 года назад

I recommend using Assioma Favero pedals and this way you can get realistic watt output! It’s the best way to get accurate zwift data with IC8

@jeroenvanmarion3062 3 года назад

@@harryp6484 That would mean spending over 600 euro's just for pedals?

@jeroenvanmarion3062 2 года назад

@K B I don't know. I haven't used swift. I knew this issue before i even bought the bike. I just turn on a YT spinning video couple of times a week and i just start riding for 30 - 60 minutes. Every bike has his flaws. So far the bike is still fine for me (have it for a year now).

@weiliang1st 3 года назад

Thanks for the video! Did you consider refubish bike before jumping into Schwinn IC8? As i am currently struggling to either get a refurbished or a new schwinn bike

It’s from the bike to the zwift app on the Apple TV. You can do it to any other smart device too.

@anthonylim4512 2 года назад

What bicycle shoes did you get to use with it ? Ordered my bike, clueless on what shoes to get

@AriffSuffian 2 года назад

@F5VMJ 3 года назад

Hello thanks for video. Did the IC8 come with a heart rate strap and weights??...like the IC4?

@AriffSuffian 3 года назад

Nope! Although your local store might have a bundle option. By default it doesn’t.

@F5VMJ 3 года назад

@@AriffSuffian OK... yes my IC8 had no weights, no heart rate bracelet and also no wall-wart 9v power supply. I think the IC4 comes with all these. Perhaps Schwinn do this to make it easier to export to other countries, ie: less shipping weight and no need to cater for different ac power supplies.

@AriffSuffian 3 года назад

Power supply should be included! Yeah that makes sense, logically. However I’ve seen some retailers make their own bundle with weights haha.

@Moonface00z 2 года назад

@AriffSuffian 2 года назад

@pawel_k 3 года назад

When you use zwift can it affect power resistence so you can feel differences when you climb or ride on flat terrain?

@AriffSuffian 3 года назад

Yes you can set the resistance but it’s done manually.

@pawel_k 3 года назад

@@AriffSuffian so zwift calculates everything based on power data it receives from bike? And then mix it with virtual elevation and other data like biker weight, so then zwift can calculate speed so you can race with other people? I'm just curious how it works if zwift cannot control bike resistence.

@AriffSuffian 3 года назад

Yes that’s right, Zwift only receives power data.

@bakerstreet7050 Год назад

how's the bike after a year? and what is the clicking sound at the start of the video?

@AriffSuffian 3 года назад

I like zwift. If there’s one way to get my riding, it’s definitely zwift haha. It’s awesome to be surrounded by so many petiole virtually. I even get very competitive when I see someone cutting me, I’ll try to cut them back! I haven’t been using the bike everyday because I’m quite busy with a running program. Also, you have to set the resistance manually. But zwift is mainly flat and inclines. So just set the resistance to what you feel it appropriate for the terrain.

That’s a normal bike right? It depends on what you’re looking to get out of it. The IC8 is an indoor spin bike. You should be able to use it anytime but it’s never gonna physically get you from Point A to Point B like a normal bike (Schwinn Elite).
