Does anyone know when the 231 will become available again? Does anyone know when the 231 will become available again?

Yes -- the 231 was, sadly, discontinued. I emailed Schwinn, because the 231 was highly rated in Consumer Reports, and seemed to have better features than even the 240, but a Schwinn rep emailed me back and said the 240 is the replacement model to the 231. Blech! The 240 does seem to be superior to the 230, though, so I'll have to settle for that. I ordered the 240 today....it does get very good reviews overall. Good luck!

I'm really hoping this comes back in the next few days. Its either get this or a 40 inch model because of the price difference is all other models. Hopefully they ship one last truck if they really are moving into a new model.

Yeah, its back. BUT will it go down in price after I buy it, since there's not one but two newer models? . It's enough to pull one's hair out. But I'm 100% sure that I want THIS one. That's something at least.

Keep hitting refresh through out the day, I was able to get 2 of them at the $376 price. Both days I was able to purchase one it was about 5:45 p.m., not sure if its a coincidence. But keep trying.

Thanks for the help Conrad! I'm curious about that myself. So essentially as of 2012, the 285WT will have absolutely NO traffic updates at all? Even FM Traffic? I'm curious myself because I'm comparing the 285WT and the 255WT. The 255WT has lifetime traffic updates, so if the 285WT is going to lose all it's traffic functionality in 2012, it doesn't seem to make much sense to keep it. Thoughts?

Do the different sizes go out of stock so often? A couple people said they were available again in May but now in July they aren't again...

I called their 800# today and they said it was discontinued. The salesman said the new models would be released in the next 4-5 months. I read the reviews on this model on this site and CNET which were uniformly positive and was going to buy one.

I was planning on grabbing one of these too but figured I'd wait till black friday in case of a deal and then suddenly they went on back order/1-2 mo delivery and the price shot up. I guess I should have got it before, now I'll just have to wait. Most places seem to suddenly also be out of stock of this, is this just really popular or is it being discontinued?

I have had one back ordered since Feb 2015. They were expected to be available in late March. Suppliers are hoping to fill orders in mid to late April. We'll see. I can't wait to get mine!

It looks like it is available elsewhere. Why is there a hold up on Amazon? I ordered mine back in January and would really like it soon, or at least an explanation from Amazon.

The availability date of the 52XBR7 is supposed to be December 1st. I'd bet you might see a drop in the price of the 52XBR6 after its been introduced.

At the time I bought mine it was not available. I bought mine about 6-8 months ago

It means that that the manufacturer is no longer making this particular model; perhaps a new, improved one may be available shortly. But there is no reason that this unit should change; if it worked before, it will continue to do so.

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

So I called Belkin. I tried to use their website but it doesn't work--a bit iffy for a tech company. Their rep response "oh yeah we've had complaints about that". So I ask when the valet will be available since the site says JULY and it isn't July anymore. The guy said it is listed as available but they don't have any coming in until October. So it seems to be a contest of what sucks more, their tech or their communications. Way to go Belkin!
