Pedal the way it should feel – with freewheel
The Concept2 BikeErg is an air bike that feels like a regular bicycle – freewheel included. When you stop pedaling, the flywheel keeps spinning, you're not force-driven like on most other ergometers. The air resistance comes from the flywheel, the same one used in the Concept2 RowErg and SkiErg. Pedal harder, it gets harder. The damper on the side works like a gear shifter: closed for lighter resistance, open for heavier load. For HYROX cycle segments, Tabata intervals, longer aerobic sessions or simply as conditioning alongside your strength work – the BikeErg covers it all. Seat distance from pedal to saddle 79–103 cm, fitting most body heights.
Vermont DNA, PM5 monitor, globally comparable
Concept2 has been building ergometers in Vermont for over 40 years. The BikeErg uses the same tech as the rower: air resistance, simple mechanics, low wear, decades of available spare parts. The PM5 monitor delivers watts, speed, distance and calories live, syncing via Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ with ErgData, Zwift and the rest. Watt values are globally standardized – your 250 W in Zurich are the same 250 W in Boston. That turns the BikeErg into a tool for structured training with target values, not just keeping your legs warm. At 31 kg, it's stable without bolting down.

Concept2 BikeErg vs. average indoor bike
| Criteria | Concept2 BikeErg | Average indoor bike |
|---|---|---|
| Resistance | Air resistance, reacts to you | Magnetic or friction brake, fixed levels |
| Freewheel | Yes (like a road bike) | Usually fixed-gear (spinning) |
| Monitor | PM5 with Bluetooth + ANT+, watt-accurate | Basic display, often no watt readout |
| Data comparability | Globally standardized | Device-specific only |
| Build | Steel, simple mechanics, durable | Often plastic components |
| Spare parts | Available for decades | Often unavailable 2–5 years after model change |

If your goal is structured training with watt values – HYROX prep, intervals by power zones, longer aerobic blocks – there's no way around the BikeErg. Spinning bikes can't do any of that.

Customer reviews
The BikeErg was one of the first Concept2 pieces we added alongside the RowErg in our Box. What athletes immediately appreciated: same PM5 logic as on the rower, same watt values, same comparability. If you already train with Concept2, you're up and running in seconds. The freewheel makes all the difference in HYROX cycles – no fighting against the chain, just real bike feel. Maintenance is basically zero. If you're looking for an ergometer that lasts decades and speaks the same training-data language as the rest of your cardio kit: BikeErg.
