The air bike where the intensity comes from you
There is no resistance dial on the Assault Air Bike. The fan is the resistance – and it works exactly as hard as you do. Ride easy and it stays easy. Go all out and all of it comes straight back at you. Your own output is the setting.
You drive the bike by pulling, pushing and pedalling at the same time. Arms and legs work together and your heart rate is up within seconds. That is why almost every CrossFit box has an Assault Bike standing somewhere: warm-up, interval tool, finisher after training.
Honestly, comfortable it is not
You do not watch a series on this thing. The resistance comes from the air you are moving, so you hear it – the faster you go, the louder it gets. And the last thirty seconds of a hard interval feel exactly the way they feel.
That is not a flaw we are going to talk around. It is the reason athletes seek it out. If what you want is a quiet bike to sit on in front of the TV, tell us – then something else is the better call.
Built to run every day
The frame is heavy-duty steel, powder-coated. Every moving part runs on industrial bearings – that is the difference between a machine that lasts a season and one that keeps going through years of box traffic. Assembled it measures 129.4 × 59.3 × 123 cm and weighs 44.5 kg. It sits solid, even when you are sprinting flat out.
The console is a high-resolution LCD display with several functions and programs. You pick intensity, distance or the power you are aiming for – and get motivational messages along the way. That covers steady heart-rate work just as well as short, hard intervals. The bike adjusts to fit, so every athlete sits square on it.

| Ceiling on intensity | Open – your own output is the limit | High | Capped by the level |
| Technique barrier | Low – sit down and go | Higher – a clean stroke is needed | Low |
| For HIIT | Ideal | Good | Limited |
| Typical use | Warm-up, intervals, finisher | Distance and technique work | Steady endurance |
| Footprint assembled | 129.4 × 59.3 cm | Considerably longer | Similar |
| Noise | Audible rush of air | Moderate | Quiet |
If you want a high heart rate fast with arms and legs both working, the air bike is the most direct route – and there is no technique to learn first. A rower complements it well but demands a clean stroke. An indoor cycle covers mainly the legs. If you need Bluetooth, a wind guard and HIIT programs on the console, look at the AssaultBike Elite.

Customer reviews
When somebody says after training that they are adding one more finisher, I point at the air bike. No other piece of cardio kit gets you to where it hurts that fast – and there is nothing to set up first. That is exactly why athletes love it and dread it at the same time. If you want a machine that genuinely asks something of you, this is it.
