The all NEW Assault Air Bike is a modernly designed take on a very old traditional air resistance bike. Fixing everything that was wrong and implementing new technology. Strengthening all pivot points and upgrading them with bearings instead of bushings to provide a powerfully smooth operation. Work out with no limits due to the unlimited resistance provided by air. Power your legs and arms faster or slower to determine your resistance. Monitor time, distance, calories, watts, RPMs, speed with the on board smart computer console. Includes Motivating programs, like Tabata Intervals, which help build up strength and stamina or choose the Heart Rate monitoring program to monitor your pulse and build up your aerobic base. All this is wrapped up in a frame that can take the abuse and dish it out too. Transport Handle and water bottle holder with water bottle included.

Review: Love The Bike! WORTH. EVERY. PENNY!!! - This is a great bike for working out. I have bad knees and so am limited in the types of exercise I can safely do. Swimming is OK once per week, but the chlorine gets to me and I don't like doing it more than that. Rowing is OK but it doesn't give me much of a lower body workout. The fancy electronic stationary bikes at the gym are fine for legs, but it is a waste of time for the upper body. Elliptical machines give a nice full body workout, but my knees won't tolerate much of that. Resistance training is also good but only once or twice per week. Pilates, Yoga and stretching are great exercises and have their place but they don't fill the need for cardio. Walking, Running, and Stair steppers are absolutely out of the question for me. So, my personal favorite form of exercise is the Dual-Action Stationary Bike for a well rounded workout that gets my heart pumping, uses all of my limbs, and puts absolutely no pressure on my knees. For 30 years, I have enjoyed an old time Schwinn Airdyne Comp which served me well. It has preserved my health by keeping my handicap from making me hopelessly sedentary. But for the past year or so I could see the end of the line coming when my old faithful Schwinn started making unusual noises and shuddering in a strange way. Much to my surprise, I couldn't find anyone who could work on it. No one could get parts for it, no one even knew how it was put together. Even Schwinn no longer makes these and they do not support repairs of a bike that they no longer produce. I kept my Airdyne going for as long as possible, but the day finally arrived when I knew that I had done my last ride on "old Faithful". I was forced to look for a new bike. Imagine my dismay when I set out to find a new bike and there was NOTHING that even remotely measured up to my beloved Airdyne Comp! Everything was flimsy. Everything was plastic. I even tried out one of the new-fangled Airdynes in the store and it actually collapsed with me in the saddle! Yikes! To tell the truth, I was scared that I might not find a worthy successor to the bike I had come to know and love. Then, I was researching bikes online and reading as many reviews as I could find, when one reviewer mentioned that he had returned his bike for a refund and spent the necessary bucks for and Assault Air Bike. I immediately googled that term and was delighted to find a bike that looks like the younger, cooler, and more hip granddaughter of my old, worn out Schwinn! I ordered it immediately! It came today and I am in love! If possible, it is even better than the old Airdyne that served me so well. It was really, REALLY fast and easy to assemble because of the clearly presented video that is included in the ad on this page. Within 30 minutes, my new bike was up and running and I had my first workout. The ONLY negative is that the seat of the Assault Air Bike is atrociously painful! I am not sure why such seats are made, but by the time I finished my hour ride, I was weeping in pain. For awhile, I was regretfully considering that I might have to send the new bike to desertcart for a refund. Then, as I looked longingly at my old Airdyne Comp and dreamed about former days of riding in the comfort of the wide, cushy Schwinn seat, it dawned on me that I could probably ditch that nasty instrument of torture that came with the Assault, and replace it with my old fave, the Schwinn Airdyne Seat! Yay! Within 10 minutes, my new bike was just as comfy as the old, and I was so inspired that I indulged in a second, oh-so-comfy spin! Some of the great features of the Assault that make it a step beyond the old Airdyne is the way the seat adjusts not only to height, but also to length. This gives a great custom fit to my body. I also learned very quickly that the onboard computer is much more complete than my old Comp and gives me great choices for incorporating HIIT training, which is just the perfect compliment to my new-found Paleo lifestyle. The new Assault computer is a little bit different in the way it counts calories, but that is not a problem for me, since I don't measure calories burned, but only time, distance, and heart rate. A few things are different that I wish they had kept but those things are minor. All in all, it is a worthy successor to my old Airdyne. So. I purchased my Schwinn when I was 30 years old, and now I am 60. If the Assault gives me the same amount of years that I got from the Airdyne, I will be 90 by the time I need to buy yet another bike. Do you guys think the Assault will still be around by then, or should I just go ahead and purchase a back-up Assault Bike just in case? ;-)
Review: Classic Assault Bike – Worth Every Penny! - I recently purchased this classic assault bike, and it brought back memories from 20 years ago when I used this type of bike during physical rehabilitation. It’s as great as I remember and still better than any other stationary bike I’ve tried. One of my favorite features is the fan—having that breeze while working out is a huge plus for me, especially since I tend to get hot quickly. Shipping Experience: I purchased this bike on 05 January, and since I live in Oahu, I figured it wouldn’t qualify for a free two-day shipping. Especially this type of heavyweight product. My only shipping options were: pay $27.99 for delivery by 24 January or $34.99 for delivery by 17 January. Wanting the bike as soon as possible, I chose the 17 January option. I was a bit concerned when the product hadn’t shipped by 3 AM on 16 January. I contacted desertcart customer service, worried that my order wouldn’t arrive on time. They reassured me that it was scheduled for delivery by 17 January. The next morning, I received a UPS notification confirming my order had finally shipped, with an estimated arrival around noon. Sure enough, it was delivered on time, right at noon on 17 January. Assembly Process: I’ll be honest—written instructions are not my strong suit. Thankfully, YouTube came to the rescue! The video I followed from Assault Bike 10 years ago was extremely helpful, and I highly recommend watching it. I even previewed it before my bike arrived. That said, I took my time with the assembly, organizing every part and double-checking as I went. It took me about 3.5 hours from start to finish (including cleanup), but that’s because I was meticulous, and I’m not the healthiest or most active person at the moment. If you’re more experienced or handy, it’ll probably take you about an hour. Modifications: I replaced the original bike seat with an oversized cushion, which is much more comfortable for me as an overweight individual. Some reviews mentioned the stock seat wasn’t ideal for larger users, and I completely agree. Initial Use: After assembly, I tested the bike briefly and found it to work well. My only issue is a bit of wiggle where the seat adjusts forward and backward, even though it’s tightly secured. I’ll see if it becomes a problem after a week or two of regular use. Overall, this bike is solid and enjoyable to use. I love the nostalgic design, and it’s a fantastic addition to my fitness routine. I’ve attached some pictures for reference. Would I recommend it? Absolutely!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to the Schwinn Airdyne AD6 model?**
A: This bike claims to be for commercial use but ours was broken in a few months.  Never used an AD6 but the older model Schwinn Airdynes we have are still going strong.  Lifecore has HORRIBLE customer service too.  Their bike was a piece of garbage and broke in a few months (or it was already broken/defective when it arrived).  They would not replace it so we're left with a $1000 piece of trash.  Stick with Schwinn.

**Q: Does this include a heart rate monitor?  I see a button on the display for it, but it's not obvious how this works.**
A: The Assault airbike does not come with a heart rate monitor, but is equipped with a heart rate sensor, so it is compatible with Polar chest straps.  Thank you,

**Q: Why does this bike cost so much.  Is it out of production?  If so, why?**
A: The airdyne has been around for 40yrs, and everyone knows what it is.  The problem in recent years was that the AD4 model was the model of choice for all cross fit gyms, Military, firefighters, police departments, universities, nfl sidelines, hotels, rehab clinics, etc, then Schwinn decided to discontinue that model to introduce the AD6 model.  The AD6 is far insufficient to place in these same high traffic, heavy usage arenas as the AD4 once owned.  These facilities were ordering the AD4, until the AD6 was introduced.  The AD6 just did not hold up, making these clients extremely upset with Schwinn.  They actually were scrapping their AD6's to bring back their OLD AD4's and just order parts to repair them.  The problem with parts for the AD4, is that they are not avialable because it is discontinued, so these owners have now been turned on to the Assault and these are replacing every current AD4 and AD6 EVERYWHERE!  You will see these at the next crossfit games with all of the premier athletes warming up on these bikes.  Here are the differences: Assault has removed the problematic 'cotter pins' that used to break on the AD4 and made a 'direct drive', with sealed ball-bearings on all of the pivot points (22 bearings overall) vs. the brass bushings used on the Schwinn.  The bearings keep a tight fit, without any wear, so there will be no wobbling effect. Assault has 12 guage 2mm tubing for the moving handlebars, which is substantially thicker than the Schwinns. Assault has improved the crank set, forged cro-moly, for strength and stability. Assault has a programmable console, Manual, 3 interval programs (telling you to 'work' and 'rest'), 4 Target programs (calories, watts, distance, heart rate), + monitors your pulse and is compatible with POLAR. Assault has a 4 way adjustable seat, fore and aft, up and down, and seat tilt, giving anyone who rides a great fit. Assault has a 27 inch steel fan wheel which creates more resistance. Backed by a 5 year frame warranty and 2 year parts warranty.

**Q: Does anyone know the maximum user weight capacity ? Thanks**
A: What is the correct listed maximum weight limit for this bike?
