We have IC800 (220 VOLT version of IC4), it is a fantastic machine. We do enjoy zwifting with it. Resistance levels are good, quality is good, and it's very silent due to it's magnetic resistance system. I highly recommend to anyone, who wants a great indoor bike.
Thanks for the great content! Looking at a used IC4 vs a used or new peloton, as I am hoping to have the ability to use multiple styles of content rather than be limited to only Peloton, though I am concerned with the functionality while using various apps and apple watch heart rate etc. Hoping to be able to use peloton app as well as zwift or others to keep interest and variety. Though the full functionality of the peloton bike or bike plus is appealing.
This is super helpful but being that I live in an apartment with thin walks, it would have been additionally helpful to hear what the device sounds like.
Had the IC3 in 2020 and the right pedal started squeaking really bad. Bowflex tried to fix it over the curse of months, that didn’t work. They end up sending me the IC4 and now the pedal squeaking again. The noise only gets worst!!! Very disappointed
I’ve noticed they usually start squeaking right about the two year mark. I’m going you how I can fix it. Hopefully there is more info since two years ago because nothing worked 😫
Question, is sitting down like a traditional bike really that important in terms of cardio or can I get one of those sit down versions and get the same benefit? It looks like people are totally lounging and being lazy in those things. I'll just be frank, these workout bikes destroy my butt hole. I could easily ride a bike for 2 hours, but 30 minutes in and my ass is destroyed 😂
😂 All seems fine until you sit down on the bike again 🤣 They sell nicer, padded seats. What really worked for me at first was shorts. They sell cycling specific shorts with pads where you need them. I say "at first" because just riding often will get you more comfortable.
I have not found a way to fully integrate this bike to Zwift. Zwift will show data like HR, Cadence, RPM, but WILL NOT change the resistance of the bike via feedback from the app. Very disappointed in that because I like to use Zwift. Having said that, it is a well built, solid, professional grade bike. I’ve used a lot of them so this is a qualified opinion (IMO, LOL).
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂…..Wow! That’s the first thing I thought when she started talking. It sounds like she sucked up a helium balloon before she started talking. 😂😂😂😂
Folks should know that this Schwinn IC4, is identical to the Bowflex C6 model. The bike is made by the Nautilus so compare prices for the best deal!

When using swift, will the bike automatically add/remove resistance??
Suggested maximum height of rider is 6'6", not 6' as you said.
I have one and I’m very happy with it.. I ride more on the road, but this is nice when I need to ride inside. The seat is not real comfortable.
What''s the resistance like in comparison to SOLE SB900 (2021 model)?
Very nice review keep up the great work!

Are you saying the peloton app will auto adjust the IC4 resistance? I'm not sure I see that claim anywhere else.
No. Does not auto-adjust with Peloton. It will display cadence and heart rate on tablet or smart tv via Bluetooth.
Wish review included demonstrations of adjustability.
Great review! 👌🏾

We are trying to show more of what the machines actually sound like in future videos! - Linds
no screen good for me. don't need checkoff from star trek to operate the console

NOO! I hate that for you! We have had ours for a good while now without squeaking, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for that now. - Linds

Oof, you guys couldn’t have picked a host with a better voice? Her voice is ear splitting.
Yeah, no hard feelings but I don’t like her voice
🤣
Yeah but I bet it grips like crazy 🤪
as she gets older it will pay off as no grandma voice
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂…..Wow! That’s the first thing I thought when she started talking. It sounds like she sucked up a helium balloon before she started talking. 😂😂😂😂
