Assault Air Bike vs AirDyne Bike Reviews

The Assault AirBike takes all the weak parts of the traditional fan bike and reinforces them: frame, crank, pedals, monitor and more.

LCD screen outputs: Watts – Calories – Distance – Time – Odometer – Interval Training (Tabata and custom)
Heavy Duty Steel Frame eliminates side-to-side movement

Schwinn Airdyne bike review 4.5 star rating by Jason:
This exercise bike is amazing! I had meniscus knee surgery 1 year ago and it is still not right.

So it has been difficult to workout at the gym. On the Schwinn AD6 Airdyne Exercise Bike you use your arms as well as your legs which takes pressure off of my knee. My arms and chest are sore my first week but that will go away. My mom had the original Airdyne when I was a kid and so I was happy to find that they still make it.

Using air resistance, the Assault AirBike scales automatically to how hard you want to work. The harder you pedal, the greater the resistance. It’s simple physics with big benefits.

Air Assault Bike review 5 star rating by Elm:
To give a little perspective to my review here is a short introduction to why I bought the Assault Air Bike. I am a bike fanatic and love riding my mountain bike, usually a few times a week.

The great thing about a mountain bike is that it exercises your upper body as well as lower body (unlike a road bike). I have a top end spinning bike but never liked it much. In the vacation cabin we visit every winter the owners have a very old Schwinn Airdyne Pro in the basement. I always thought it just looked like a low tech waste of time. This year I hopped on and WOW I was in love! It was a full body exercise like an eliptical machine, but I was riding a bike and it didn’t hurt my back the way ellipticals do for me.

Schwinn AirDyne Bike Review
The Airdyne Exercise Bike is a simple concept and uses the wind from the fan as resistance.

Wind resistance is exponential, so the harder you pedal,the higher the resistance becomes.

This naturally provides the right workout for both a novice exerciser and an elite athlete.

Crossfit gym and MMA workout facilities are loving this bike.

It has been a staple of hardcore gyms for decades and will continue to be into the future.

We have one in our home gym and love it.

Deceptively simple torture.

The schwinn airdyne is a beast! Easy enough for the most novice user, but ready to take down the toughest of them all.

Great for interval/sprint work and gets the job done well.

The Schwinn Air Dyne has a Patented Air Resistance Technology

Our unique air resistance system is based on exponential resistance, which simply means that the harder you work, the greater the workout. The Airdyne flywheel and compact Evolution fanwheel on Schwinn’s wind-based products provide smooth resistance while cooling the user during the workout. Schwinn’s wind products are ideal for both fitness and rehabilitative use.

Questions from athletes in our gym.

Question: “Coach, which one do you prefer – the Air Assault or AirDyne bike? We have an old AirDyne bike in our gym so we like that one. But I would not complain if they delivered a new Air Assault bike to my CrossFit garage :). Schwinn airdyne vs assault air bike – flip a coin on which is best.

Question: From Joe S – “We have opened a new CrossFit box and want to add bikes – which is best with the schwinn airdyne or assault air bike?” You cannot go wrong with eight the air dyne or the assault bike.

Question: Does it take more calories to pedal assault exercise bike than schwinn ad4 vs AD2? It depends on how much time and resistance you use (wear a weight vest)?

Question: Do you have any reviews for the air dyne ad 6 vs lifecore assault bike vs Concept2 rower? Check out the review above for the Lifecore assault bike. We like the C2 rower but it is more expensive than a bike.

Question: Is the assault bike as loud as air dyne? They both use a fan as resistance so both of them have some sound.

Question: Which do you prefer with the LifeCore assault compared to the Schwinn AD 6 or Xebex air bike. Or what about the schwinn airdyne pro vs precor assault? Both are very good if comparing the Schwinn AD6 vs Lifecore. Xebex is the new bike from GetRXd.

Question: What is an AD pro? It is a form of AirDyne bike.

Question: What about the Xebex bike vs Assault? Check out the Xebex bike here:
