Product Information

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.

The Schwinn AD8 is built to stand the test of time as well as the rigours of high-intensity training.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. It is entirely possible to sit on the Schwinn Airdyne AD8 and casually rotate the legs for an hour while watching television, but it's not really advised. You're better off with a standard recumbent bike, turbo trainer or exercise bike for that sort of thing.

Of course, you can get a relatively gentle workout from these machines but it sort of defies the point. They deliver the best results when properly pushing the body through heavy sprint intervals, followed by periods of rest. More basic models don’t really allow users to hit this maximum effort.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. Not only that, but the AD8 is built with durable commercial grade components, meaning it’s able to withstand the abuse of continued use in a commercial, or home environment.
