The Schwinn IC8 is a standout performer in many ways. 100 micro-adjustable resistance levels ensure a smooth, quiet cycling experience, a detailed LCD display projects every metric you could want, and SPD pedals mean you can clip in to really push your output. But what truly sets the IC8 apart is its unmatched digital connectivity. Here, we breakdown exactly what cycling apps are compatible with the bike, and what they offer…

JRNY

Peloton®

That’s right, you don’t need a Peloton® bike to take their workouts! Enjoy unlimited access to thousands of on-demand cycling classes for just a fraction of the cost by connecting the Peloton® iOS App to your Schwinn IC8. With the Digital App, you’re benefitting from a significantly cheaper cost-per-class with a subscription that’s more than half the monthly price of the all-access membership, on top of the savings made on the bike itself! Download the App to your device, and you can easily connect your cadence to accurately monitor your pedalling speed as you ride. You can also use any compatible heart rate monitor, like the Bowflex Bluetooth Armband, to keep track of your pulse on-screen. Find out more about the Peloton experience on the Schwinn IC8 here!
