For indoor cycling enthusiasts seeking a superior workout experience, the Schwinn Spin Bike stands out as a leader in innovation and performance. Among its impressive lineup, the Schwinn AC Performance bike is engineered to deliver an unparalleled ride, mirroring the feel of outdoor cycling with unmatched durability and minimal maintenance. This is largely thanks to Schwinn’s groundbreaking Carbon Blue™ technology, a belt drive system that redefines what you can expect from an indoor bike.
Carbon Blue™: Revolutionizing the Spin Bike Experience
Schwinn has consistently been at the forefront of indoor cycling innovation for two decades. While belt drives have become more common in the industry, Schwinn remained dedicated to refining the technology, understanding that early belt systems lacked the authentic road bike feel. That has all changed with Carbon Blue™.
Inspired by the revolutionary Gates Carbon Drive™ system used in outdoor bikes, Schwinn partnered with Gates to adapt this technology for the AC Performance spin bike. Carbon Blue™ utilizes a carbon fiber reinforced belt with teeth, offering exceptional durability and performance that truly replicates the feel of a traditional chain drive. This innovative system provides the best of both worlds: the low maintenance and longevity of a belt with the responsiveness and feedback cyclists expect from riding outdoors.
