Customers like the sturdiness of the stationary bicycle. They say it's well-made, solid, and built to last for years. The rower is more strength based, and you get a little break when between pulls. All parts were in good shape and none damaged. The assembly tools are good quality. This airbike is brute and overbuilt.

Customers like the adjustability of the stationary bicycle. They mention that the seat adjusts for everyone, from their daughter (4' 6") to them (6' 1"). The parts are strong and fit well, making it a solid unit. The adjustable seat and handlebars are great features that make the bike great for fit athletes in training. The seat and pedals are standard size, allowing for easy replacement. The fit and finish were first class, and the welds were clean and smooth. The settings are easy to use and allow for quick adjustments within the workout.

Customers have mixed opinions about the size of the stationary bicycle. Some say it takes up very little room, while others say that it barely fits on the bike. The seat is too small, and the LCD screen is too tiny. The bike has a pretty large foot print for a home gym, but if you have the space, it's a great option.

Customers are not happy with the noise the bicycle makes. They mention that it makes a loud beep when they pedal, it has cracks and starts making a clicking sound. The handle comes loose and squeaks.

PROS:
Commercial quality. Well-made and thus far durable. Heavy gauge steel where required. It’s heavy.
Simple to use display that can be programed/customized for your workout. Just bike, time, distance, intervals, etc. It even has a small shelf built in for an IPad, Kindle, or Phone.
Yes, it will give you a workout like you read about. The harder you peddle or row, the harder it gets. You can put your feet up on the pegs and only use your arms.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely!!!
CONS:
Since it is either commercial quality or nearly so, the most comfortable seat position (up & down) may challenging to achieve. The distance between the seat adjustment settings is about an inch. So, if you’re used to a mountain/road bike seat post, you may not get the position you are completely comfortable with. The seat does forward and backward like a normal bicycle.
No place for a water bottle attachment unless you have a back-of-the-seat bottle attachment from a road bike.
No air damper capability like a Concept 2 rower. The resistance fan is simply caged. Yep, it’s a bit loud and as others have said, the air does blow back into your face. However, at about the three minute mark you’re glad it is because you’ll start peeling off layers.
The pedals are standard bike. Not really a CON but something you need to know. However, the pedals (like the seat) are standardized so you can swap them out. I mounted a pair of SPD pedals to use with my bike shoes.
Because of the bike movement arms, you won’t be getting standing out of the saddle like a normal bike trainer. The movement arms will either knock you back or draped over the front you go. There is also no gearing – just a resistance fan. Again, it’s not a bike trainer but a full body trainer.
The CONS are minor and don’t detract from getting out what you put into it.
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
The bike came extremely well packaged. Ensure you check all of the packaging for assembly materials.
If you’re assembling this by yourself (I did), you’ll need the following: 1) Two pads or blankets to assemble the bike on (the base is not attached and it will scratch a floor or snag a carpet). 2) A socket set and separate open-faced 11-13mm crescent wrenches (or an adjustable crescent) makes assembly easier. 3) As mentioned in previous reviews -- liquid thread lockers to keep the nuts/bolts in place. 4) A box cutter or knife to remove the packing tape. 5) Needle-nosed pliers. 6) Philips head screw driver – small.
Place a work pad on the floor. Place the bike box on its side and open the bottom of the box and peel back the cardboard flaps. Set the box back up on one of the pads – the bottom cardboard flaps should be open like a flower. Open the top of the box and remove the assembly instructions. With the top open simply pull the box up and away (watch the stapes in the box bottom/top).
Cut away the tape and packing material. Place the movement arms, seat, peddles, etc on the second pad. When ready, remove the orange/red shipping stabilizer from the front of the bike. Remove the screw and washers from both the front and rear stabilizers. Attach both stabilizes loosely to the frame. Once both have been attached, insert the bolts lightly (with or without liquid lock) then tighten down all bolts.
When installing the console mast base, use the needle-nosed pliers to lightly grasp the console cable and pull through. Once the base has been firmly attached, put the batteries (provided) into the console and then attach the unit to the base. Put the top two screws lightly in first and then the bottom two with either the provided tool or with your own philips head. Tighten down all screws. Since you’re going into plastic beware that if you tighten too hard, you may strip out the threads.
When putting the handle bars on, be prepared for them to slip away from you and fall to the floor. It’s a trade-off, I assembled the lower pivot first so I could have a little bit more space to work and then attached the attached upper pivot to the main frame.
The seat assembles just like a normal bicycle seat as do the pedals. As to the seat, a closed faced crescent wrench or a socket set works best. I put my seat at a slightly upward tilt – much like a road bike. It took a couple of on-off workouts to get the seat right both front to back and up and down.
I hope the above helps. The bike is exactly what I wanted. I follow the maintenance plan in the manual and so far I have had no problems.
Yes, I would buy it again.
I know some people complain about the fan noise but that doesn’t bother me and it’s only loud when you’re going fast.
I was going to put it in the garage but knew it would be too cold out there. I have it in the living room and use it every day.
Prior to my broken leg, I did 5 5 minute rounds on these and it was excellent to improve my cardio endurance which I needed for MMA and Jiu Jitsu.
It was easier to put together than the filing cabinet I bought. Toughest part was getting the seat tight so it didn’t wobble. It’s solid and I even have a resistance band tied to the front. Definitely recommend.

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 Amazon 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? ;-)
