Schwinn 103 Exercise Bike

The Schwinn 103 Upright bike is the next step up from the Schwinn 101, and rests below the Schwinn 112 and Schwinn 113 in their upright exercise bike lineup.

It's clear that the Schwinn 103 is a far superior value than the Schwinn 101, and it makes me wonder why they even make the Schwinn 101 when you consider the following facts...

Although the 101 and 103 share many of the same parts, for only $30 more than the 101, you get 10 additional programs, (4) of which are heart rate controlled and (1) of which is a user defined program.

Schwinn 103 Key Specs and Benefits

  • 17 preset programs provide workout variety
  • 4 heart rate controlled user programs
  • 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

Getting the heart rate controlled workouts (and more workout options) for such a small price difference is a value worth many times more what you'll wind up investing in the Schwinn 103, as opposed to the Schwinn 101.

The obvious choice in entry level Schwinn upright bikes is the Schwinn 103, end of story - it's a great value compared to other upright bikes in this price range too...
