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 Nautilus U616 sits in the middle of the range and is ideal for moderate exercise, while the U614 is Nautilus’ entry-level bike that’s ideal for beginners.

As you would expect, the Nautilus U618 is the most expensive of the 3 bikes but is well worth the extra cash for its build quality and premium features.  It utilizes a heavier flywheel and offers a higher user weight capacity than the other 2 bikes for a more stable workout even with intensive use.

The Nautilus U618 has improved design features such as better handlebar design with in-reach buttons and large adjustable elbow rests, a more comfy gel cushioned seat, and an upgraded Sightline tilting console with STN dual blue backlit LCD display that offers better visual colors and a wider viewing angle.
