Schwinn 101 Exercise Bike Review

Schwinn 101 Exercise Bike Review

The Schwinn 101 Exercise bike is the entry level Schwinn model. Just because it's an entry level bike, that doesn't mean it's not built well, it's just lacking a couple of features that the other models have.

For starters, the Schwinn 101 comes standard with Eddy Current magnetic resistance for a smooth dependable workout and 6 preset programs to get you up and running quickly.

The 101 is a good entry level bike that's perfect for users who are interested in just hopping on the bike a riding, instead of worrying about programming and tracking their workout.

Schwinn 101 Key Specs and Benefits

• 6 preset programs provide workout variety
• Computer controlled, eddy current resistance
• Grip Heart Rate enables you to monitor your fitness level
• Adjustable fore/aft seat and adjustable handlebars
• Operates on AC power
  

One of the areas where the Schwinn 101 upright falls short compared to the better equipped models like the Schwinn 113 is the 101 doesn't have heart rate controlled workout, and the resistance adjustment is limited.

You know you're getting a solid bike in the Schwinn 101 when you take a look at the warranty that blows away the competition from Proform, Reebok and Fitness Quest - the warranty on the Schwinn 101 is a solid 10 year frame warranty and 1 year parts and electronics.

If you're looking for an entry level upright bike and want a model that will last you more than 3 months (Proform) take a strong look at the Schwinn 101, or better yet, get the Schwinn 103 that's only a few bucks more and worth every penny.
