Schwinn Phocus 1.6 Disc Road Bike, 700c Bike for Men and Women, 16-Speed Road Bicycle, Lightweight Aluminum Frame, Alloy Carbon Fork, Disc Brakes, Aerodynamic Riding Position, Bikes for Adults

I have this bike for almost 7 years. I rode more than 15 thousand miles using it as road/hybrid heavy duty commuter. Once again, getting new pedals and seat. Another chain and cassette worn out. Still I don't see a single reason to change this bike. It is damn perfect. Light, maneuverable and controllable, durable. I can't believe I got this beauty on sale for 415 bucks, definitely worth twice that.

Great Bike love it it’s fast !! I’m 194 it holds up really well took to a bike shop and had it assembled there and changed seat out and pedals to shimano clip ins .The seat is easily adjustable with a lever. Brakes work great front and rear breaks shifts smoothly

This bike is good value for the money, as most big brands offer their entry level models at or slightly above $1000. I bought this bike at $770 at the time of review on Amazon. It conveniently ships within a few days. I am 5'9" and I bought the 53 cm frame, which works great. I prefer the smaller size always, as it is lighter and easier to pack. The bike needs assembly, so if you are not familiar with bike mechanics, I still suggest to consider going to your local bike store and buying a bike from them, pre-assembled and tuned up. The assembly took me about 1-2 hours, I didn't measure it. The breaks needed a bit of an adjustment, which is just tightening a screw, but the derailleurs needed a lot of tinkering. I was able to do all this myself from past experience and Youtube, but if you are a total beginner, you won't be able to do this and your shifting will be noisy or even worse - throw the chains off your cogs. It is worth noting that the Shimano Claris R2000 group set is not supposed to be noisy or do such things, so if it doesn't work for you, it likely needs adjustments. The bike comes with cheap tubes that popped after a few days, as I left the bike in the car on a hot summer day. Rookie mistake, it can happen to expensive bikes too. The tube also comes with Schroeder valves which are the same as cars, but I found it hard to inflate with a handheld pump. I had to take the bike to a gas station to inflate it to 80 PSI! not convenient. I replaced the front tube with a Continental tube ($15 for two) with a Presta valve which was easy enough to inflate at home with a small, handheld pump. To sum it up, as you see, the bike requires a good bit of assembly and adjustments. If you have never done that, I would suggest cashing out $1000 for a known brand at a bike store and they will tune it up for you. I hope this helps!

I’m new to the road bike game. Took some time getting used to it and finding the right fit. Would recommend a professional/ long time biker for the best fit. I’m 5’9” and the bike is perfect for me. The gears work flawlessly and it’s feels really smooth. Brakes are a joke and I swapped them out within a month. The grip was mounted the wrong way, so I had to fix that myself. Assembly was easy for a 1st timer. As always, have it checked by a professional once, a little price to pay for peace of mind.

Everything was fine until I started riding it. The one issue (a big issue) is that the left pedal keeps coming off. I have assembled multiple bikes in the past, and had no issues as of yet. This one took about 15 minutes to assemble and tune up after I got everything unwrapped out of the box. The left pedal tread seemed to be damaged, and the left pedal would come off when riding. I will update it to 5 stars when Schwinn sends me a replacement part for the left pedal and the left crank arm. UPDATE: THEY RESPONDED ONCE AND THEN STOPPED RESPONDING. DO NOT BUY SCHWINN. THEY WILL NOT SEND YOU PARTS OR REPAIR EVEN IF YOU'RE UNDER WARRANTY. DO. NOT. PURCHASE. SCHWINN. BIKES. SPEND A BIT MORE FOR A BETTER FRAME ANYWAYS AND YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF LATER. AFTER REPAIRING THE BIKE WITH MY OWN MONEY, IT RIDES TERRIBLY AND HAS TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS SOMETIMES.

Great bike, I have put this thing on several 30-50 mile rides. I love cycling but not enough to pay a fortune for a carbon bike. To be honest the weight from a carbon bike wont be incredibly different from an aluminum bike. This bike weighs roughly 26 pounds. The only real benefit to carbon is for vibration absorption. This bike has a carbon fork on the front, so that definitely helps with the vibration.Set up was extremely easy took about 15 minutes. This bike has went through some hard rides and has held up nicely. One thing I can suggest is after assembly take to a local bike shop just to make sure it was put together correctly. In short great bike, don't waste your money on a super expensive bike. I plan on riding this bike in a century ride or two this summer.

Bike looks great but don’t how it rides yet because I have been able to ride it due to damage. Box was damaged on arrival, obviously not manufacturers fault. But they could do a better job at protecting the bike. Fairly easy to put together, instructions are worthless and make no sense. But not rocket science to figure out on your own. Lastly, front brake barrel adjust was split in two. Therefore, breaks do not work. Contacted warranty company and haven’t heard back in over a week.

This is hands down the best bang for your buck road bike on the market! I did a lot of research before buying this bike and it stacks up against bikes more than twice the price! The aluminum frame and carbon fork ride like a dream! I road it on a 50 mile ride this past summer among other lengthy journeys and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. As with any bike make sure to check every nut and bolt during assembly. They're not always torqued to spec from the factory. In my case the bottom bracket lock ring needed a little snugging up. If you're looking to get into road biking this is the bike for you!

Aunque si se deben modificar de inmediato las llantas y todos los baleros por qué vienen de muy mala calidad, fuera de eso es buena para iniciar

Got this bike from Amazon. It looks amazing. I put Continental Gatorskin 28mm tires on it and Shimano SPD-SL pedals. Removed the reflectors and boom. Look at this thing. It’s beautiful. It’s at the LBS right now getting tuned but I rode it around the street and other than the gears needing indexing it’s light and fast. Can’t wait to take it out. UPDATE: Weather allowed me to take it out for 3 rides this week. 30k plus each of them. I averaged 27kmph on the rides on crisp March mornings. This thing is fast. Claris system works well. I did have it tuned at the shop. Shifts like a dream. Worth the money but put 28mm foldable tires on it.

So far really good, i took it to a bike shop for tuning and assembling as recommended on some reviews and i think it was accurate to do that.. bike feels super light and it really can go fast. I made a lot of research before buying this bike and other more known brands with even worst parts are been sold for more than 1200$cad.. Ill update if something happen later..

The bike took me awhile to assemble and adjust. I replaced the tires with puncture resistant ones, as I do not trust the ones it comes with. After riding it a bit, I realized that its front and rear derailleurs were miss-aligned. After a few youtube tutorials, I fixed them. Everything seemed good, until I noticed a sand grinding noise from the rear wheel (which I later discovered was coming from the freehub). So, I ended up purchasing tools and took the cassette apart. Doing so, I notice the rear hub and axel assembly were extremely tight, and hard to twist by hand. This led me to check the front hub also - and same issue... the ball bearings in both wheels were over squeezed.. So I ended taking the hubs apart, replaced the ball bearings (which I also ended up purchasing), lubricated the rear freehub which was making that sand grinding noise all along and voila, I am now a certified bike repairman! After going through all this pain, the bike is fast, silent and a pleasure to ride! I give it lots of love, and tell it goodnight before bed! Looking back, I did not fully appreciate what the reviewers meant when they said that this bike needs to be tuned and adjusted before ridding. O, and also, it weighs 24lbs! :) Edit: This review was for a bike that cost CDN$ 908.00 (tax included)

The bike came partly pre-assembled making it convenient to build. The only minor issue I had was that the assembly manual was not specific to the Phocus 1600 model although this shouldn't be a problem if you've built a road bike before. The bike is light and fast. Overall I'm happy with this bike.
