The Schwinn Journey 2.0 Recumbent Exercise Bike has also been named as the
Schwinn 230 and is the exact same bike with the same build quality, features and specifications.
The Schwinn Journey 2.0 Recumbent Bike utilizes a high-speed high-inertia perimeter weighted flywheel together with ECB magnetic resistance for smooth and quiet operation.
No matter what level of fitness you’re at, there are plenty of options to keep your workouts interesting and challenging with the Schwinn Journey 2.0’s 20 resistance levels and 22 preset programs including profile, heart-rate, custom, fitness tests and quick start program.
The Schwinn Journey 2.0 Recumbent Bike allows for 2 different user profiles and you can track up to 13 different workout stats on the console’s Dual Track 2 LCD screens. Motivating stats displayed include time, RPM, speed, distance, pulse heart-rate (via contact grip sensors in the handlebars by the side of the seat), calories burned, intensity, resistance, course profile, % complete, heart rate zone indicator, user indicator, and goal achievement.
You can even keep track of your workout stats online by transferring your data via the console’s USB port to Schwinn Connect or My Fitness Pal. The USB port can also be used as a charging port to charge your own mobile phone/tablet.
Additional premium features of the Schwinn Journey 2.0’s console include acoustic chambered speakers with MP3 input, media shelf, and 3-speed cooling fan. The sound system found on this recumbent bike is surprisingly good for exercise machines particularly at this low price point, and the cooling fan is also very effective unlike fans found on some machines which are typically not very powerful at all.
Like most recumbent bikes, the Schwinn Journey 2.0 is easy to mount and dismount thanks to its low step-through frame design. The seat itself is adjustable for different user heights (via its easy-to-use seat adjustment lever and sliding seat rail) and is designed for user comfort with a contoured vented seat bottom and large vented backrest for support and airflow. There’s also a useful water bottle holder mounted at the side of the seat so you can keep hydrated as you cycle.
The Schwinn Journey 2.0 is a solidly built recumbent bike. It’s constructed with a single frame and large mid-frame support, along with 2 integrated levelers for additional stability, providing an amazingly solid platform overall. Being so sturdily built, this recumbent bike allows for a higher user weight capacity compared to most other recumbent bikes in this low price range – for users up to 300 lbs.
