The Buzz

The Schwinn 130 upright bike offers a variety of features including the patented Schwinn BioFit™ Comfort system which consists of an extra-wide saddle with a micro-adjustable fore/aft seat slider, adjustable handlebars, and oversized pedals with straps.

The new console is much more user friendly than the previous one, with Quick Start touch buttons and a modern design.  You can track your workout results via the USB port, and sync them with your favorite fitness apps through Schwinn Connect.  (Note that the up-level Schwinn 170 has Bluetooth capability)

The Schwinn 130 also features a quiet magnetic eddy current brake (ECB) resistance system and a high inertia 20-lb flywheel, heart rate pulse grips on the handlebars, a water bottle holder, and an AC adapter with 3-foot power cord.

The drawbacks to the model include Schwinn’s not so great warranty. You only get 10 years on the frame...but given the price of the 130 when it's on sale, you really can;t ask for much more.  A good idea is to opt for the extended warranty for a little extra coverage just for peace of mind.

All in all the new Schwinn 130 offers a nice, comfortable ride with plenty of workout programs to choose from.
