Schwinn Airdyne Bike Series: Your Ultimate Workout

Solid, well built machine that will really push you to the limit.
The bike was well packaged and the box was in perfect condition upon arrival. Assembly was very straightforward. I did have an issue with one of the cables that connect the display panel falling inside the frame. This was a real pain in the butt and almost ended with the bike being returned but I was able to fish it out of the frame and complete the assembly. Once assembled I was very impressed with the build quality. Very solid, doesn’t move around at all, even with me going as hard as I can. I’m a big guy and I can honestly say this thing is a solid as my commercial Lifefitness bike and my Stairmaster freeclimber. Kudos to Schwinn for creating a serious bike that will hold up under intense use.That being said, it is extremely smooth in use. The belt drive is very direct with no driveline lash or noise. The handlebar arms are made of heavy gauge steel and are very solid with no free play or slop at all. The display is very intuitive and easy to use, with all information available at a glance. I really like the speedometer setup as it’s easy to read and leaves a hash mark at the highest recorded speed which is very helpful. I only wish the display was backlit. It would make those early morning sessions a little more convenient if I didn’t have to turn on all the lights on order to read the display. This seems to be a common thread with all of these type of books. One other thing to note, the heart rate monitor will not work with a coded chest strap. I have a Polar H10 which will not connect to the bike telemetry. I ended up purchasing a Polar T34 which is non coded and works perfectly. Also of note, the seat isn’t great but it’s not terrible. I may replace it in the future. The rubber coating on the handlebar arms is heavy duty and feels nice in hand. There’s plenty of seat adjustment range both vertical and fore and aft. Honestly, just very satisfied with this bike and I find it to be a worthwhile purchase that I will get a lot of use out of. Speaking of use, this thing absolutely provides a killer cardio workout. I’ve been using the 20/10 interval training routine that is one of the presets and it absolutely kicks butt. I’m able to burn as many calories on this in 15 minutes as I can on my lifecycle in a half hour. It gets my heart rate up in a hurry and keeps it there.Bottom line, if your looking for a quality airdyne style bike for HIIT training, look no further. This thing is the real deal.Update: After a couple months with this machine I really love it. It’s gotten me in better shape than I’ve been in for a very long time. It’s very well built, quiet, smooth due to the belt drive system and enjoyable to use. The only negatives iare the stock seat isn’t comfortable at all which I promptly replaced with a Velmia memory foam touring seat which I purchased on Amazon (awesome seat byw, made a huge difference) and the heart rate monitor is very inconsistent. It works when it feels like it. It cuts out during workouts or sometimes won’t work at all. It also reads about 10 bpm high at all times. I called Schwinn and they promptly sent out a replacement console but to no avail. same issue. tried multiple heart rate straps, all uncoded with the same result. Just to be certain, I tried them on other machines and they all worked perfectly. I just use the polar app on my phone. kind of a pain but it works. not a deal breaker. bottom line, Great machine with a coupe flaws. I’d buy it again in a second.

I have received this bike in A+ shipping condition. I assembled it with my daughter. The instructions were easy to follow. All the screws, tools exactly as needed, nothing missing and even the instructions books, both in french and english. I used it and it runs perfectly well. the arms do exercise at the same time as the legs. I am extremely happy since it is my first shot at bying such big equipement on internet. The Shwinn A2 bike is great and fits well in my home.

El único detalle del producto es que los pedales son muy reducidos y para gente con pie grande es complicado. Pero en general es muy bueno y con pocos minutos tienes para un buen ejercicio.

I’ve had this airdyne for over a month now and I’ve been using it for HIIT (20 seconds all-out intensity 10 seconds rest) and it hasn’t disappointed me at all. First of all, this airdyne arrived in great condition, it was easy to assemble as the instructions are very easy to understand and there isn’t much parts to assemble the airdyne. When I first got on the airdyne to do my intervals, I was gasping for air within the first 5 minutes and my thighs felt like they were going to explode. The resistance the fan offers is tough and I guarantee that your quads will feel like mince meat the next day. As far as the airdyne goes, it is very sturdy as it doesn’t wobble around when you’re on it and it also has adjustable feet for uneven surfaces. The parts are very sturdy and versatile and I have inspected the belt and bearings multiple times after use with no signs of extreme wear. Personally, I didn’t think this airdyne was up to the task of HIIT, but I was wrong which makes this airdyne ideal if you are on a budget.This airdyne is superb when it comes to increasing your fitness level and it is a good addition to my garage gym. The fan is quiet, however it is not as quiet as the AD6 or AD8. It sounds loud when you’re on it but when someone else is on it, it sounds like a Dyson tower fan which is very silent. I am very happy with this purchase and it is excellent for the price. I think that it will last me many years!
