Pros & Cons
Pros
The bike comes semi-assembled but even someone with limited mechanical abilities is able to finish the assembly. The components are more than capable.
This is my second schwinn, the other one is a schwinn volare 1400 road bike. This bike is a smooooooth tangerine dream!
Nicely cushioned seat with built-in suspension post and quick-release lever for easy adjustments. Seat still wants to swivel side to side. The seat is wide and cushioned and never hurts my backside.
Front suspension and memory foam seat make for a smooth ride. The fenders were a nice addition. Longer rides are comfortable. The style of the handlebars, grips, and the comfort of the saddle creates a relaxed riding posture.
Shifting mechanism is pretty cool. It rotates like the throttle on a motorcycle. This is a 7-speed rear cassette with a triple chainring up front, making the bike versatile for tackling hills or riding distances.
Cons
Assembling the brakes is a nightmare for someone who’s never done this before. Not a trace of grease to be found inside the freewheel. Which means, when you hit bumps, the seat moves down and even left to right.

You cannot tighten the seat bolts enough to hold fast on the post
Packaging/appearance
Its a lot of packaging but its reassuring to see it so well protected
Removing the packaging likely took around 5 minutes so actual setup is probably around 33 minutes
Once the bike was out of the box still with all the internal wrapping on it setup was right at 38 minutes for everything includ... Read More
