The Schwinn 800IC spinning bike, formerly known as the IC8, is the ultimate choice for home exercisers, cycling enthusiasts, and cyclists looking for an intense and versatile training experience. This high-performance spinning bike is designed for intense and fully customizable workouts, making it perfect for both beginners and advanced cyclists who want to improve their strength and endurance (fitness) and take their indoor training to the next level.For cyclists who like to control the intensity and variety of their workouts, the 800IC offers unprecedented possibilities. Thanks to its easily adjustable settings, you can tailor each cycling workout to your personal level and fitness goals. If the 100 resistance levels are not enough, you can make your cycling workouts even more challenging by linking them to challenging apps such as JRNY, Zwift, and many more. This makes each of your cycling sessions unique and keeps you motivated. This is one of the reasons why the Schwinn 800IC is the indoor bike for those who do not want to compromise on performance and comfort.
Key features of the 800IC
The Schwinn 800IC combines advanced technologies and a solid design to offer you the best possible training experience. Let's take a look at the key features of the 800IC:
100 Magnetic Resistance Levels
With the innovative magnetic resistance system, you can set up to 100 different resistance levels, easily via the dial. This ensures a smooth and quiet transition between intensity levels, allowing you to tailor each cycling workout to your personal level.
Integrated screen (display) and device holder
With the integrated VR-ready LCD screen, you can track your heart rate, calories, speed, distance, revolutions per minute (RPM), difficulty level, and various other items. This allows you to train even more specifically and always have your data in front of you.
The integrated device holder allows you to securely place your tablet or smartphone on the handlebars so you can watch your favorite movies and series during your workout. Of course, you can also play your favorite music for extra motivation during your workout. Or if you train with an app, such as JRNY or Zwift, you can open it on your device.
To track your heart rate, calories, etc. on the screen, you need a heart rate monitor with Bluetooth 4.0, which is available as an optional extra. For extra motivation, you can also connect the console to your tablet or smartphone and use the popular Zwift app.
An adjustable racing saddle and handlebars
Good posture and comfort are crucial for both long and short cycling sessions, and the Schwinn 800IC offers you plenty of adjustment options. Thanks to the 4-way adjustable triathlon handlebars, you can adjust them to your liking (up, down, and forward/backward). The saddle can also be fully adjusted, both up and down and forward and backward. This allows you to optimally adjust the bike to your height and build, ensuring you always have the ideal training posture. Maintaining a good ergonomic posture reduces the risk of tension in your neck and back, allowing you to cycle and train for longer.
Dual SPD pedals for extra grip
The 800IC spinning bike has dual pedals so you can train optimally. If you have training shoes with clips, you can click them into the special SPD pedals so you don't accidentally slip off the pedals when you're training intensively. In addition, the pedals are also equipped with the familiar toe clips for shoes that do not have a clip system. The toe clips, just like the SPD mechanism, ensure that you cannot slip off your pedals. This allows you to train safely and intensively. The Q-factor is 181 mm.
A quiet V-belt drive
The quiet V-belt makes the 800IC perfect for home use without disturbing others. This allows you to focus fully on your cycling training without being distracted by annoying noises. The V-belt also makes the 800IC low-maintenance.
Stay hydrated with the double water bottle holders
The double water bottle holders allow you to store two water bottles under the handlebars. It is important to stay well hydrated during both short and longer workouts. This means you don't have to interrupt your cycling workouts to get water.
Combine cardio with strength training
The Schwinn 800IC is equipped with two dumbbell holders where you can hang two vinyl dumbbells. This allows you to supplement your cardio training with strength exercises to train multiple muscle groups at the same time and get and stay extra fit.
*The red dumbbells shown are not included with the spinning bike, nor are the water bottle and tablet/smartphone shown.

Name change from Schwinn IC8 to 800IC
The name change from Schwinn IC8 to Schwinn 800IC was introduced by Schwinn to avoid confusion with other brands and to provide more clarity for you as a consumer. Other brands also started calling their bikes IC8, which led to misunderstandings. The 800IC is therefore the same bike with the same quality as the IC8, but with a new name.
