New Schwinn A.C. Performance Indoor Cycle Trainer
at my club mark the arrival of Indoor Cycling 2.0 for my class. At least for the Instructors. Our participants will have to get those comment cards in quick saying they all want bikes with POWER, NOW.
Here is my Video Review and Initial Test drive of the new Schwinn AC Performance Indoor Cycling Bike.
Schwinn calls their resistance; Virtual Contactâ„¢ Resistance Technology – this innovative system utilizes magnets and an aluminum disk to generate resistance. This is similar to Keiser's but I'm not clear on how they measure your power. I hope to know more soon.
One thing I didn't try out was the Smart Releaseâ„¢, which is a slipper clutch that disconnects the flywheel from the pedals if you stop suddenly.
Here is the link for the MPowerConsole.pdf if you are interested in more detail.
