Product Information

All our products are delivered free of charge outside your home. Normally this is not a problem for small fitness products like spinning bikes or small treadmills. However, if you live in a flat and have bought a 200 kilo machine, maybe the best is to hire our two man delivery and / or our premium delivery and installation service. If you can’t tell, I’m a fan of the Schwinn Airdyne Pro. There are still things I’d like to see improved. I think it’s too difficult to access the inner workings of the bike for maintenance and although I don’t know if it’s even possible, it would be cool to have quieter bikes. to measure heart rate in real time. Assault AirBike Comparison Schwinn Airdyne Pro vs Assault AirBike vs Rogue Echo Bike Brand: Sometimes referred to as the “Misery Machine” by those who have fallen foul of its punishment prowess, an air bike consists of pedals that are attached to a large fan at the front, which in turn is also powered by long grab handles. Think of it as the sweaty lovechild of a classic exercise bike and an elliptical. The result is a piece of equipment that simultaneously works the upper and lower half of your body, requiring the heart and lungs to work doubly as hard to keep up. The slot for slipping a phone or wallet is perfectly fine if you want these items out of the way, but most users would prefer to see their phone screen, especially if using a favoured third-party fitness app. I ended up balancing my phone on the water bottle, which was protruding from its holder.

For efficient power transfer, low maintenance, and infinite levels of challenge. 2. Multi-display LCD console The Airdyne Pro also features the first belt drive system on any air bike ever produced. Belt drives have been used for a little while on bicycles with great results, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in this type of application. Basically, rather than using your typical link chain, the bike uses a heavy-duty rubber belt often seen in cars. This allows for a few things: Because of this, the Schwinn Airdyne AD8 comes pre-programmed with several interval training programmes, which range from 20 seconds of sprinting and 10 seconds of rest to more punishing 45 seconds or a minute of working time and slightly longer periods of rest.

The Schwinn Airdyne Pro AD8 Bike combines the latest in air resistance technology with unmatched durability and performance, allowing you to reach your full potential in the comfort of your own home. Whether you use it to bring your HIIT workouts to a new level or require the perfect total body cardio workout, the AD8 delivers versatile and challenging workouts. Onto the hardware and in use I found the Airdyne as study as any of the air bikes I’ve tested. Adjustable feet allow you to counteract uneven surfaces and the saddle is adjustable for a wide range of rider heights. Because of the pull-out sprung dial that slots into holes on the seatpost, it’s not as micro-adjustable as I’d have liked, though. I found myself settling for one of two heights either side of my ideal setting.

The Airdyne AD8 is the latest iteration of Schwinn’s Airdyne air bike range, and a more fully featured model than the company’s AD6i and AD2i models. I’ve compared both of these somewhat in the review, but I figured I would touch on the differences here specifically: Manufacturer: The Airdyne AD8 is the latest upright bike from Schwinn, which is designed to allow you to work up a sweat in the comfort of your own home. Thanks to its space saving structure paired with infinite resistance levels, you’re able to target all body parts whilst getting that ever-important heart rate up.

The Schwinn Airdyne AD8 Dual Action Air Cycle is another highly recommended unit, boasting brilliant features, such as a detailed onboard computer that features preset interval workouts, as well and the ability to hook up to ANT+ heart rate monitoring devices for more reliable calorie burn and heart rate zone information. Thanks to the progressive wind resistance and 26 blade performance fan, using this machine is quite literally a breeze.

So, the basic makeup of the bike is metal and plastic, with the majority being aluminum and steel. Everything on the bike seems to be larger than on the Assault & Xebex bikes as well. That’s not to say it takes up a whole lot more foot space, because it doesn’t, but the fan for instance is gigantic. This is most likely a reason for a smoother start and stops compared to bikes in the past. If you are looking for extremely intense but short workouts, the Air Bike is definitely the contraption for you. Although it is possible to remain in a gentle fat burn zone (around 70 per cent of your maximum heart rate) for extended periods of time, the Air Bike is best used to get the heart rate spiking and coax the cardiovascular system into aerobic and anaerobic states - i.e when you are gasping for breath and essentially training your heart and lungs to be able to push harder and further next time you work out. The bike’s design offers an adjustable seat and multi position hand grips, combined with the addition of a heart rate telemetry feature. With that in mind, it’s never been easier to hit your fitness goals down to the exact mark thanks to the multi-display LCD console showing you the calories, watts, time, distance, speed, RPM and heart rate readouts of every workout.Despite its hefty components, the Schwinn Airdyne AD8 feels surprisingly compact for such an aesthetically intimidating piece of fitness equipment and its smooth pedalling experience and cleverly perimeter-weighed performance fan ensure that resistance is delivered predictably. Iconic Schwinn invented Airdyne technology around power unlimited wind resistance and continues to refine the technology to stand out amongst its peers. It also comes with a handy air diverter accessory that reduces fan noise for a quieter workout and also prevents blasts of air from blowing in the user’s face whilst the bike is in use.

The Schwinn Airdyne AD Pro is an all in one tool to engage both your upper and lower body for a customized full body workout. Whether your goal is weight loss, toning, or just an overall desire to get healthier, you’ll meet your match with the Schwinn Airdyne Pro. Pros and Cons of Schwinn Airdyne Pro Positives: With Schwinn’s unlimited resistance formula, the harder you petal, the more resistance you generate. The more resistance you generate, the more intense your workout. Classic Tabata is 20 seconds of sprinting, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Repeat for 8 reps, before resting and starting again. #3.
