Why BIKE?
The Concept2 BikeErg is the latest addition to the C2 family of sport-based ergometers. The BikeErg has the same flywheel and Performance Monitor as the Concept2 Indoor Rowers and SkiErgs, bringing to cycling the strengths and features they have also brought to rowing and cross-country skiing.
The flywheel uses air resistance to create a smooth, quiet ride that responds to your efforts. The damper is your "gearing", allowing you to adjust the feel of your ride. Unlike most stationary bikes, the BikeErg has a clutch, so just like a real bike, when you stop pedaling, the flywheel keeps on spinning.
The C2 Performance Monitor gives you instantaneous workout feedback, with a wide variety of displays and workouts to choose from. The Performance Monitor is calibrated so you'll be able to directly compare your times and distances with other people, as well as track your progress.
The Echo Bike combines features of both the Schwinn Airdyne Pro and Assault AirBike to create the best value air bike currently on the market. The monitor tracks every metric typically measured by air bikes including intervals, target, calories, and heart rate tracking. It has a similar design as the Assault AirBike with quick select buttons on the right side of the monitor and is pretty easy to see during use. Athlete's who train on an Assault Bike will be able to utilize our programming as well due to the similarities in metrics and scoring between the machines (no real differences in how wattage or calories are counted).
