I researched and considered which stationary upright to purchase for over a year, and decided three factors were of critical importance: 1) magnetic resistance, 2) minimal maintenance, and 3) flexible adjustments so I can carefully replicate the geometry of my road bike. The AC Performance is the "flagship" spin bike from Schwinn and deserves that title. It arrived fully assembled and ready to ride (just had to connect the pedals). First impression was how stable it was and the flywheel allows very smooth resistance. The magnetic resistance is analog, intuitive, and doesn't change during the ride (my complaint with every friction-resistance bike). The ability to stop the pedals (clutch) is a luxury. My kids will occasionally get a little close while I'm riding. The resistance knob also provides a "stop" function (press the knob and the flywheel stops almost immediately); another very welcome safety feature.I have 20 hours or so on the bike at this point and can say I don't miss all the digital readouts. I have always trained with heart rate monitors, GPS, cadence, METS equivalence, etc, and the absence of these displays is in improvement in many ways- I can pay more attention to how I feel, instead of the numbers.I would encourage anyone interested in a high-quality spin trainer to consider the Performance. The quality is remarkable, and the ride is smooth. And if I wonder what my heart rate is, I'm not riding hard enough.

I have been spinning for about 8 years on a multitude of bikes. I bought this bike on the recommendation of one of the country's best spin instructors (not exaggerating). It's awesome. Very good feel of the wheel turn, great adjustability-- hight, forward, backward, super comfortable saddle, easy to maintain, love the resistance variability, etc. I could go on and on. I'm guessing people who love this bike are too busy spinning to write the kinds of awesome reviews this bike deserves and generally receives on other sites.

I have had the Schwinn AC Performance Spin Bike for almost a month now. I am an avid mountain biker and I needed something to keep me active in the off-season. This was the perfect solution. With my busy schedule I find myself using the bike during riding season when I can't get out and ride. About the bike, the most important feature is the resistance. Compared to the other spin bikes I have ridden in gyms this bike has a wide range of resistance. I found that a quarter turn on this bike was equivalent to a half turn on the other bikes. I love the MPower console, I love to push myself to the limit and find this feature helpful. It allows you to measure wattage and RPM's and the combination results in mph. Also, there a stage feature. If you do your workout in stages you can push the stage button for each stage. Next to the display for stage there is a total feature that keeps a total of all stages combined. I love the adjust-ability of the bike which makes it easy for my wife to use the bike as well. The water bottle holders on the handlebar are a pure stroke of genius. Overall, this bike has surpassed my expectations and I am excited for the off-season for a change!
