Cruisers
-
Cruiser bikes are made for getting around town in a relaxed, stylish fashion. They come in 1-, 3- or 7-speeds. Cruisers are equipped with wide seats and fenders, and some have cup holders or luggage racks. They tend to be heavy bikes, which creates a smooth ride but makes riding up hills difficult.
Road Bikes
-
Road bikes are light and quick, designed to move across pavement efficiently. They are a popular choice for cardiovascular exercise and your best option for long-distance rides. Schwinn's high-end road bike frames are made of carbon and come with high-quality components, while lower-end bikes are more affordable.
Mountain Bikes
-
Schwinn's mountain bikes come in either hard-tail or full-suspension models. The high-end hard-tail models come with disc brakes, and the lower-end models come with V-brakes. The full-suspension model offers 4 to 5 inches of vertical travel in the bike's shocks, which absorb bumpy terrain.
Other Bikes
-
Schwinn carries a variety of other bikes, including hybrid (a cross between a road and a mountain bike), commuter, fixed gear, motorized and kids bikes for ages 3 to 6.
