Arriving on a pallet, the Airdyne AD8 was already fully assembled. Unlike the AssaultBike Classic, the AD8’s pinion arms are hidden away and protected, so no chance of them getting caught on your clothing. It also meant there were no fiddly hinged arms to attach on arrival. However, with copious instructions detailing how to assemble the arms, pegs and console, I suspect consumer models will need some basic home assembly. Schwinn Airdyne AD8 dimensions Cheaper bikes can be found, and we’ve included some of these in this very list, but the fan at the front tends to be smaller, meaning the amount of resistance the bike produces tends to be measly. Above all else, the general build usually involves lots of plastic and soft metals, meaning they can’t withstand the daily torture of a hardcore HIIT session.At FitnessInn we work with the best service companies in the fitness sector. This is transmitted not only in the quality of our products but above all in the after-sales service and the product warranty . Instead, the Air Bike is best known for delivering punishing High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts thanks to its inherent ability to spike the heart rate and have all the major muscle groups screaming in seemingly no time at all. Assault has long been one of the top names and its Elite Assault Air Bike is arguably one of the best out there, featuring seriously chunky parts that even professional athletes have trouble bending and breaking.

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. Assault also understand that athletes like to isolate body parts, meaning its products feature pegs for resting the feet if focussing on an upper body workout, while it is possible to also focus on the lower body with pedal power alone. The first thing I noticed regarding the bike was the overall quality. The Assault Air Bike and XebexAir Bike have brought a new level to air bikes regarding build quality and the AD Pro is right up there with them. 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.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: Thanks to the progressive wind resistance and 26 blade performance fan, using this machine is quite literally a breeze. 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.

Multi-position hand grips Domestic Products: 2 years labour, 3 years electrical parts, 5 years motor and a lifetime in the structure All our products, without exception, are original and enjoy full and complete manufacturer’s warranty. 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. It’s an air bike that you’ll often see in commercial gyms and fitness studios, so that should give you an idea of its pedigree.

This is the biggest improvement of the bike over current air bikes and one I would imagine other companies will try and emulate. 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.
