The Schwinn A10 is considered to be the entry-level model of the Schwinn upright exercise bike range, while the Schwinn 170 is the high-end model and the Schwinn 130 sits in-between the two.

The Schwinn A10, 130 and 170 Upright Exercise Bikes all utilize a perimeter weighted flywheel with Eddy Current magnetic resistance, ensuring smooth and quiet operation throughout their individual range of programs and resistance levels.

Each exercise bike has a different range of programs and resistance levels on offer, with the Schwinn 170 having the greatest range of 29 programs and 25 resistance levels, while the Schwinn 130 has 22 programs and 20 resistance levels, and the Schwinn A10 having a smaller range of 7 programs and 8 resistance levels.

The consoles differ between each exercise bike, with the Schwinn A10 having a more basic console than the other two.  The Schwinn 130 and 170’s console feature a dual-track display (2 screens) while the A10 only has a single screen.  All the screens are LCD, but the higher-end Schwinn 170’s screen also has the advantage of being blue-backlit which is easier on the eyes.

The Schwinn A10, 130 and 170’s console track and display all the important workout data you need to keep you motivated as you cycle including time, speed, distance, RPM, calories burned and heart-rate.  The Schwinn 170 allows for the most user profiles (4) compared to the Schwinn 130’s 2 user profiles and just 1 on the A10.

dual-track blue-backlit LCD screens,

Being the high-end exercise bike, the Schwinn 170’s console also has a few other features that the A10 and 130 do not have, including Bluetooth connectivity to transfer workout data to online fitness apps (the Schwinn 130 has a USB port to transfer data but the A10 has no way of doing this) and telemetry heart-rate monitoring for more accurate heart-rate monitoring (although all the bikes do have contact pulse grip heart-rate sensors).

The new Schwinn 170 Exercise Bike is now compatible with the Explore the World App (subscription required) – connect via Bluetooth to the App on your mobile phone/tablet for a wide range of global courses and move at your own pace as the App auto adjusts to your speed.  The Schwinn 130 and A10 do not offer this feature.

Both the Schwinn 170 and 130’s consoles also have a USB charging port and 3-speed cooling fan – features that the Schwinn A10 do not have.  The consoles on all 3 bikes do however feature a sound system with speakers and MP3 input so you can listen to your favorite music and all feature an integrated media shelf to place your mobile phone or tablet so you can keep entertained as you exercise.

The Schwinn A10, 130 and 170 Upright Exercise Bikes are all ergonomically designed to give you a comfortable workout.  The handlebars are angle-adjustable and the saddle is padded for comfort.  The saddles on all 3 bikes are height adjustable to suit different riders but the Schwinn 170’s saddle has the added advantage of also being adjustable fore/aft for a more custom fit.  The Schwinn 170 also has the addition of elbow rests on its handlebars, allowing you to rest your forearms – particularly welcome towards the end of a long ride!

Being the higher-end model, the Schwinn 170 Exercise Bike has a better 3-piece crank system compared to the 1-piece crank of the Schwinn A10 and 130, and also features larger-sized pedals.

Additional features of all 3 bikes in the Schwinn Upright Exercise Bike range include a handy water bottle holder, integrated transport wheels for easy portability, and 2 integrated levelers for added stability on uneven floors.

All the exercise bikes are sturdily built with the Schwinn 130 and 170 allowing for a slightly higher user weight capacity of 300 lbs compared to the A10’s 275 lbs user weight limit.

The entry-level Schwinn A10 has a smaller footprint than the other two exercise bikes (see full specifications compared in the tables below) and its console is battery operated (although you can buy an optional power adaptor) whereas the Schwinn 130 and 170 are both electrically powered and come with a power adaptor included.

As you would expect with the higher-end models, the Schwinn 170 and 130 also come with a better manufacturer’s warranty over the entry-level Schwinn A10 (see full details listed in the comparison tables below).

The Schwinn MY17 270 (2017) and Schwinn MY16 230 (2016) Recumbent Exercise Bikes supersede the 2013 Schwinn 270 and 230 models and incorporate the same high-quality build and features of the previous models but with a newly designed console that’s more user-friendly and intuitive to use. The Schwinn MY17 270 also has the addition of Bluetooth connectivity which the previous model and the Schwinn MY16 130 do not have.

Ad >>Click here to buy the
Schwinn MY16 230 Recumbent Bike

For reference, the Schwinn MY17 270 Recumbent Bike was launched in the early part of the year 2017, while the Schwinn MY16 130 was launched towards the latter part of the year 2016.

Both the Schwinn 270 and Schwinn 230 Recumbent Bikes are ergonomically designed for user comfort and feature a low step-through frame design for easy mounting and dismounting.

The Schwinn 270 (2017) and Schwinn 230 (2016) both utilize a high-speed high-inertia perimeter-weighted flywheel together with ECB magnetic resistance to deliver quiet operation and smooth momentum.

Both recumbent bikes offer a great range of resistance levels and programs to keep your workouts interesting and progressively challenging.  But comparing the Schwinn 270 and 230: the Schwinn MY17 270 is the higher-end bike over the Schwinn MY16 230 and, as you would expect, offers more program variety (29 compared to 22) and additional resistance levels (25 compared to 20).  The Schwinn MY17 270 also allows for 4 user profiles compared to just 2 on the Schwinn MY16 230, so more people can use the bike on a regular basis and keep track of their workout stats.

Schwinn 270 console

Both the Schwinn MY17 270 and Schwinn MY16 230 Recumbent Bikes come with a newly designed console that’s easier to use than the previous models, yet still incorporates all the same high-quality features we’ve come to love.  Both consoles feature USB charging port, acoustic chamber speakers with MP3 input, 3-speed cooling fan, media shelf, and Dual-track LCD screens.

However, note the difference in the color of the displays between the two Schwinn recumbent bikes in the pictures below.  The Schwinn MY16 230 has a standard black/grey LCD display whereas the Schwinn MY17 270 has a blue-backlit LCD display which is easier to view.

Schwinn 230 console

Both consoles display motivating workout stats as you exercise, including time, speed, distance, calories, pulse and more (see full details listed in the comparison charts below).  You can even transfer your workout data to online fitness apps for online tracking such as SchwinnConnect, MyFitnessPal or other compatible apps.  However, the way you can transfer the data differs between the two recumbent bikes: the Schwinn MY17 270 has Bluetooth connectivity whereas with the Schwinn MY16 230 you have to use the USB port.

Both the Schwinn MY17 270 and Schwinn MY16 230 Recumbent Bikes feature contact pulse grip heart-rate sensors in the handlebars by the side of the seat  to help you keep within your target heart-rate zone as you exercise.  However, the Schwinn M17 270 has the added advantage of also being telemetry enabled for more accurate wireless chest-strap heart rate monitoring (chest-strap not included).

Both the Schwinn MY17 270 and Schwinn MY16 230 have a slider seat rail system with Easy Adjust Lever that makes it easy to adjust for different user heights.  The seat on both bikes is comfortable with a backrest for added support, however the design of the seat differs between the two bikes.  The Schwinn MY17 270 has a thick-padded contoured seat bottom with a large vented backrest.  The Schwinn MY16 230 also has a large vented backrest but the seat bottom is vented contoured (not padded).

With recumbent bikes, you sit lower to the ground with the pedals located towards the front of the bike (rather than sitting higher up with the pedals below the seat as with upright bikes).  The Schwinn MY17 270 has an upgraded 3-piece crank system compared to the Schwinn MY16 230’s 1-piece crank system.  The Schwinn M17 270 also comes with over-sized pedals compared to the 230’s standard pedals.

Both the Schwinn MY17 270 and MY16 230 are solidly constructed with integrated levelers and large mid-frame support for smooth stable operation and allow for a maximum user weight capacity of up to 300 lbs.

·        The Schwinn MY17 270 2017 recumbent bike comes with a newly designed console that has been streamlined for ease of use, making it more user-friendly and intuitive to use.  Don’t worry though – it doesn’t cut back on features!  The 2017 model offers the same amount of programs, resistance levels, Dual Track blue backlit LCD display (2 screens), sound system with MP3 input, USB port, 4 user profiles, media shelf, and cooling fan just like the 2013 model.

·        The Schwinn MY17 270 2017 recumbent bike now includes Bluetooth connectivity which is a feature the 2013 model does not have.  The Bluetooth connectivity of the 2017 model allows for quick and easy transferring of workout data to online fitness tracking apps.  However, the 2013 model does have a workaround as you can transfer data via its USB port instead.
