Schwinn Fitness IC4 Indoor Cycling Bike vs TheraBand Professional Latex Resistance Bands Set
Schwinn
Schwinn Fitness IC4 Indoor Cycling Bike
₹79,900
Magnetic resistance and an 18 kg flywheel are the two things that make an indoor bike feel like riding rather than pedalling against a brake, and neither wears out the way felt-pad friction does.

TheraBand
TheraBand Professional Latex Resistance Bands Set
₹2,499
Natural latex is the specification that needs stating before purchase rather than after, because latex allergy is common and TheraBand's non-latex line is a separate product.
Full details →Who the Schwinn Fitness IC4 Indoor Cycling Bike is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting a road-like indoor ride that works through a power cut.
Avoid it if: Anyone training to power targets -- estimated watts are not comparable with a measured power meter.
Who the TheraBand Professional Latex Resistance Bands Set is for
Buy it if: Anyone following a physiotherapy protocol written against TheraBand colour resistances.
Avoid it if: Anyone with a latex allergy -- the non-latex TheraBand line is the correct product.

| Adjustment | 4-way seat and 2-way handlebar | not published |
| Allergy warning | not published | Latex allergy is common enough that this needs saying plainly before purchase |
| Care | not published | Dust with talc; body oils and heat degrade latex |

| Pedals | Dual sided, SPD one side and toe cage the other | not published |
| Power | No mains connection required -- the console runs on batteries | not published |

| Resistance | Magnetic, 100 levels via a friction-free knob | not published |
| Resistance by colour | not published | Yellow lightest through silver heaviest, a standard used in clinical rehabilitation |
| Why colour coding matters | not published | Physiotherapy protocols are written against these colours, so the set matches prescribed exercises |
| Why magnetic | Felt-pad friction resistance wears out and needs pad replacement; magnetic does not touch the flywheel at all | not published |
