So far, so good. Seems like a good bike, tho quite heavy. Perhaps that will be to our advantage in lasting like I expect from a Schwinn bike.
The features that attracted me were the aluminum frame with lighter claimed weight than most of the competition in this category, disk brakes front and rear, and front suspension. I would have liked both front and rear suspension, but they tend to get heavier in that category. I also figured the Schwinn name has been around for a long time, so that might be worth something. (Though it seems like most reputable brands of our youth have become just marketing tools for the same offshore goods as every other brand)
The box arrived in good condition within 4 days after I placed the order, including a weekend. There were few dings and scrapes on the outside, but nothing that appeared to penetrate to the bike itself. Unboxing was super easy: Opened the top flap and lifted the whole thing out.
Assembly was typical for any bike. Just attach the pedals, handlebars, seat, and front wheel. The pedals took a 15mm box wrench. Most of the rest of the bolts took a 5mm hex key. Some of the adjustments required a Phillips (or JIS) screwdriver. The quick releases on the seat post and front wheel work well and hold securely when properly adjusted. The handlebars were the trickiest part mainly due to having to get all the cables routed properly. It took some fiddling and I'm still not 100% sure I have them routed the best way.
At 5'7" with a 30" inseam, the height of this 27.5" version fits me just about perfect. I can stand over the bar flat footed and I just barely touch it. I wasn’t thrilled that yellow was the only color available for this model, but now that it’s here, I can say I kind of like the color. Certainly, easy to spot in a crowd. 😊
As you would expect with any new bike that you are assembling yourself, there were some adjustments that had to be made. The rear brake did nothing out of the box. Easy enough to fix by taking some slack out of the cable. The front brake kind of worked, but also needed to take out a little slack. The front caliper was not centered on the disk and pulled it sideways when applied. Even though this is my first bike with disk brakes, it didn't take long to figure out how to adjust it even without looking at the manual. I moved the brake levers around a little for comfort. The front and rear derailers both required some minor adjustment in order to get them to move through all the gear combinations smoothly.
All in all, I doubt it took more than an hour to get it assembled, adjusted, and road tested.
First impressions are that it is a decent bike for the money. There are a couple issues though. One minor, and one that I am debating contacting the manufacturer about. The minor issue is that the seat is crooked. It tilts to the side quite noticeably. (see photo) I tried loosening the adjustment/mounting bolt on the bottom to see if I could twist it straight, but no avail. I don't notice that much while riding (the seat isn't very comfortable no matter what), but it does make the bike look cheap or damaged.
The bigger issue is the forks. They have what seems to me like way more "slop" than they should have. Maybe it's because I am used to motorcycle forks which are pretty tight in comparison, but these have a huge amount of play in them. If I had to make a diagnosis, I’d say the bushings are either the wrong size or totally worn out. You can really notice by holding the front brake and rocking the bike forward and back. (see video) The whole fork twists due to the disk applying side torque. On top of that, the fork travel is quite stiff and they don't seem to do much other than make the front end feel looser. I am not impressed. Maybe that's typical of bicycle forks, I don't know. I haven't had much experience with modern bike suspension. I don’t notice it while riding though.
Others have complained about the manual not being specific to the bike, but honestly, I've never bought a bike that didn't just have a generic manual. (I haven't bought myself many bikes, but I have assembled a LOT of them for others over the years). I didn't actually even read the manual until after I had everything assembled, and it didn't really tell me anything I couldn't figure out on my own. If you are experienced with bicycle maintenance, you won’t have any problems.
Overall, it seems like a decent bike for the money. Pretty typical of others I have assembled. I haven't ridden more than a few miles yet, but it seemed to ride fine for the short tests around the neighborhood. My only real issue is with the forks. I may try taking them apart to see if there is anything that can be done, or contact the manufacturer to see if it’s normal.
I also just noticed the price jumped up by about sixty dollars since I ordered mine. Glad I got it when I did. I might have chosen a different one had it been at the new price when I was comparing.

Oh yeah, I called Schwinn and their only solution was to offer to send parts which I can pay to have a bike shop install but I'm done sinking more money into this thing. Also the guys at the bike shop said the design is terrible and even if they get it set right it won't last anyway.
My advice is to go to a reputable bike shop and spend more money on a good bike or even a good used bike. Buy it a size big if you have to so they can grow into it and keep it longer. Please do not buy this trash or anything else like it.
Is wicked fresh and I'm building it this weekend!
Can't wait for so many great springs summers and falls with this perfect bike!
Thanks so much.
However, as other reviews mentioned, this bike arrives only partially-assembled. You need some bike know-how and special tools to finish putting the bike together. The back wheel is not on, you need to put that on and figure out the gear assembly. Gear assembly needs some finessing to synch and may need additional adjustment to prevent it from catching or slipping. The front wheel was backwards and needed to be removed and flipped in order for the brake tread to work properly and safely. Even if the front wheel hadn't been backwards, it would have still needed to be removed because the brake line was twisted through the frame and couldn't work. If you didn't flip the front wheel and correct the brake line, you would not be able to brake the bike.
Basically, it's as if they showed the people handling the partial assembly a picture, but provided no instruction or training in how to put it together. The lack of instruction extends to the buyer as the ones in the box are very unclear. If you don't know how a bike is supposed to work or have the right tools, you will NOT be able to do this yourself. If you know bikes and have a socket wrench set, budget at least an hour to correct and complete the assembly; if you don't, budget at least $100 to have the local bike shop correct and complete the assembly.

El armado fue sencillo, tarde como unos 45 minutos.
Lo mas complicado fue el manubrio, oues venia desalineado el eje y tuve que re alinearlo. La llanta delantera viene desensablada y fue facilisimo instalarla con su sistema de montaje y desmontaje rapido de la llanta.
El asiento no tuvo mayor problema en su instalacion, tambien fue muy sencillo.
Las llantas vienen sin aire, hay que ponerle entre 40-60 PSI.
El resultado es una muy buena bicicleta con frenos de disco delanteros y traseros asi como 21 velocidades.
