Air Bike

The air bike is the most honest machine in the room: it gets exactly as hard as you pedal. Arms and legs work against air resistance that increases with every watt – and there is no setting that makes it easier.

Here you will find AssaultBikes with chain and belt drive, plus the Concept2 BikeErg for structured watt-based training. All built for daily use, not for a corner of the living room.

Why the air bike hurts so much

On an air bike your arms and legs work at the same time against resistance you create yourself: the faster you pedal, the more air the fan has to move. There is no setting that makes it easier – only you.

That is why it stands in every serious box. For short, hard intervals no other machine takes you to your limit as fast, and it barely loads your knees and back.

Which air bike suits you?

The models differ mainly in the drive. Chain drive is the classic – robust, loud, serviceable. Belt drive runs noticeably quieter and needs almost no care, which usually decides it for a home gym.

The Concept2 BikeErg takes a different route: it has no handles to pull, and works like a road bike against air resistance. If you want to compare watt figures and run structured intervals, it is often the better fit than a classic air bike.

Space, noise and floor

An air bike needs little floor space but air around it – the fan blows forwards and sideways. Pushed straight against a wall it loses resistance and gets unpleasantly loud.

And honestly: it is the loudest machine in any gym. That comes with air resistance and cannot be engineered away. In a flat with thin walls that matters – a decoupling rubber mat at least takes the vibration out of the floor.

Frequently asked questions about air bikes

What does a good air bike cost?

With us they start at CHF 999. Below that, savings are made on bearings and frame, and you notice as soon as somebody really goes for it. An air bike gets abused for years – the frame matters more than the display.

Air bike or rowing machine?

The rowing machine trains the posterior chain and more muscle overall. The air bike takes you to your limit faster and barely loads the lower back. If you can fit both, you cover almost everything.

How loud is an air bike?

Loud. A belt-driven model is considerably quieter than a chain-driven one, but the rush of the fan stays – it is the resistance. In an apartment building, plan for it.

How much space does an air bike need?

The footprint is compact, but leave air at the front and sides – otherwise the airflow backs up. Exact dimensions are on the product page.

Chain drive or belt drive?

Chain is more robust and easier to get spares for, but louder and needs occasional care. Belt runs quieter and almost maintenance-free. For a home gym we usually recommend the belt; for box use either is fine.

What does an air bike train?

Legs, arms, shoulders and core at the same time. Because pulling and pushing combine, your heart rate rises faster than on an exercise bike – while the load on knees and back stays very low.

Air bike or indoor bike?

An indoor bike trains the legs and suits longer, steady sessions. The air bike adds the upper body and is built for short, hard intervals. If you want both, the training format decides, not the machine.

How much maintenance does an air bike need?

Little. On chain models care for the chain occasionally, on belt models almost nothing. More important is to retighten the pedal arms and handlebar bearings now and then – that is where the load works.
