What is the best indoor cycle for a realistic feel?
Who makes a maintenance free indoor cycle for group fitness indoor cycling studios and home use?
Now there is a solution for home gyms and fitness studios - no more bike grease, no more repairing broken cycle chains, no more wear and tear adding maintenance time and cost when you should be focused on your cardio workouts and burning calories.
Schwinn® launched a phenomenon with the first production bike designed specifically for indoor cycling over 20 years ago, and continue to build on the legacy of the most experienced brand of indoor group cycling bikes.
The Schwinn flagship bike, the AC Performance Plus, is designed to enhance rider comfort with micro adjustable seat and handlebars, a wider step-through and durable, covered stretch pads - surrounded by a rust-free aluminium frame.
Using a cutting-edge belt drive (Carbon Blue), it provides an authentic riding experience indoors.
It's innovative and stylish design keeps it on the cutting edge of the indoor cycling industry, and with the smallest foot print of any commercial group cycling bike, it allows for the most usage of the cycling studio floor space.
The Schwinn AC Performance Plus comes standard with Double Link pedals with SPD and toe-clip combinations to accommodate both cycling cleats and regular athletic shoes.
The bikes are also compatible with the Schwinn Triple Link™ pedal upgrade. Triple Link Pedals accommodate Look Delta and SPD style cleats to simulate an outdoor riding experience. They also easily convert to accept traditional athletic shoes with the snap-in locking toe clips.
Also available is the Schwinn MPower Echelon 2 console with optional power (Watts) upgrade, or the Schwinn Cadence Pro computer.
A belt drive system combining unmatched durability with the authentic outdoor biking feel you expect from Schwinn. For nearly 20 years, Schwinn chain drive bikes have led the indoor cycling industry.
Even as other companies began to use belt drives on their group cycling bikes, Schwinn stayed true to their technology for one simple reason: belt drives felt nothing like riding an outdoor bike.
There is a revolutionary new belt drive taking the outdoor bike community by storm, and Schwinn Fitness has adapted it and brought it indoors on the A.C. Performance Plus with Carbon Blue indoor cycling bike.
This next generation system delivers guaranteed durability and virtually zero maintenance, without sacrificing the Schwinn authentic cycling feel that riders know and love.
Several years ago, a company named Gates introduced a concept never before seen on outdoor bikes - a belt drive that performed like a chain. Their innovative system - called Carbon Drive™ - features a carbon fibre reinforced belt with teeth for maximum durability and true bike performance.
Over time, this has transitioned from a novelty system to a mainstream solution used on hundreds of outdoor bike models today. Over the past year, Schwinn Fitness has worked with Gates to adapt this revolutionary technology to their A.C. Performance group cycle.
The result is a new belt-based drive system that combines the maintenance-free durability and performance of a belt with the authentic-ride feel of a chain. We call it Carbon Blue™ - those who ride it call it "incredible".

Schwinn are committed to designing bikes that deliver both an authentic experience to riders and lasting value to gym and studio owners. It’s a dedication that drove us to developing the most feature-rich console in the industry today.
With “measurement” being an added tool continually gaining momentum in cycling rooms, the new MPower Echelon 2 Console gives motivating rider feedback which changes the way members ride and how classes are coached, ultimately enhancing the member experience.
The Echelon 2 Console is Schwinn's smartest design yet - and an even smarter choice for your bike.
The new Echelon 2 is an evolution of the Echelon. We’ve kept the basic look of the console the same but changed the outer case to black to distinguish it from the Echelon.
Note: Power statistics require the Echelon 2 Power Upgrade component to be installed. This component is sold separately.
The new console, combined with the Power Upgrade, offers a number of enhancements, making it a valuable and reliable tool in all types of cycling facilities and home use.
