  • Airdyne Pro vs Rogue Echo
Airdynes/fanbikes are the best! You can't beat it for a short or medium duration cardio session, and the fact that you can mix in hard work with light work seamlessly without fiddling with settings makes it the best piece of home cardio equipment in my estimation. You could even use it without even turning the control pad on -- it's all mechanical and low tech. I, like many people, compared this with the Rogue Echo before buying. I got this one mainly because it was in stock at the time, but I'm glad I did (even accounting for the price difference), for several reasons. For reference, I have this at home and my main use is ~15 minute moderate intensity rides on off days from the gym with a few sprints mixed in. I use a Rogue Echo bike 4x a week at the gym, mainly for warming up. Anyway, the Airdyne Pro and the Rogue Echo are pretty similar and both great, but here's why I like the Airdyne more: -The fan. The fan has more blades which provide more resistance...the end result is that the bike has a very natural, smooth feel when riding, which feels more like actually riding a bicycle to me. The rogue bike by comparison feels more like you're riding a bike down a slight hill, to use an analogy. -The handles. I thought as a 6'2" person I'd only use the top handle position, but I use both top, bottom, and side (neutral grip). I find switching grips every so often keeps me feeling fresher and helps engage different muscles. For instance, I find a neutral grip, while being the least comfortable, gives the best scapular contraction. -The build quality. I remember seeing reviews saying the Rogue had better quality because it seemed to be "overbuilt" like a "squat rack" -- to be honest I think this is just the design aesthetic. The airdyne seems sturdier to me with the possible exception of the seat post, which has maybe a little more play than the rogue. But the key part is the splined shaft where the handles connect to the body -- the schwinn has zero play and the handles feel solid, while the rogue has a little play (but still feels fine to use). This may be in part due to the higher mileage on the rogue, which is at a gym. I find the displays to both be "fine" for my purposes -- all I need are a timer, some measure of speed/rpm/cal per minute (they're all the same, just different scales), and some measure of work (e.g. calories burned). I don't use the built-in interval timers on them -- the only use I'd see for that is if you were already warmed up and ready to just jump on and do some tabatas or something. If I did structured intervals, I'd use an app or a gymboss timer. I will say, I do kind of like the "gauge" style display at the top of the airdyne display...it leaves a hashmark at your highest speed of the session, and it's fun to see how high you can get it while sprinting. Anyway, I can't say if these factors justify the extra cost of this unit for every buyer, but I'm glad I got the Airdyne Pro, even if I would have been just as happy with the Rogue. ... show more

  • REALLY NICE. VERY PLEASED!
Style: Schwinn AD 6 Airdyne Fan Bike
Really nice, easy to assemble. I had no problem. Didn't even read the manual. Just watched a quick video on YouTube before it was delivered. The display is not backlit, but not a big deal. Price was $499.00. No wind in the face due to the info console blocking it. You won't need the optional deflector at all. The wind travels under the seat and out the back which creates a backdraft that seems to keep me cooler than when riding my old recumbent with an additional fan in the room. This might be a drawback for fitness finatics, but not for me at the age of 58. Not going to push hard like a maniac. This thing burns more cals than my old recumbent did. About twice as many in the same time frame. It's very quite except for the wind noise when you ramp up your workout (over 20mph). It also has VERY smooth operation. Seat could be a tad better. Nice thing is, you can use any standard bicycle seat with a post mount. This allows angle adjustment. Most bicycle seats are on a pair of rails which would also allow a few inches front to back adjustment (the included seat does not have the rails but the angle is adjustable. Very important for comfort! The AD2 has a non-bicycle type mount and does not have an angle adjustment. This is the biggest reason I decided on the AD6. Also, The AD6 has METAL foot rests up front, the AD2 has plastic. The AD2 also has a plastice fan cage. CHEAP! The AD6 display shows everything at a glance on the display, plus you can use an optional chest pulse monitor strap as long as it's NON-CODED. Due to it's limited display, the AD2 has to alternate through info, plus there is no option for pulse monitoring. No thanks! The AD6 is well worth the extra $100 if you can get it on sale. Check them out and compare on Schwinn.com I'm very happy with this purchase, plus I don't have to worry about where to find parts if ever needed as with some other brands. It's a Schwinn! Built by Nautilus! I did read the negative reviews and don't really understand why people are having issues. Perhaps they bent the fan cage when moving it around. Maybe they have kids that shoved something in the cage. Maybe they weigh over the 300lb limit and stood on it when working out? It's a very simple design incorporating two belts, some pulleys and some bearings. Not a whole lot to go wrong in my opinion. It appears to be a very substantial machine for home use, perhaps even for light to medium commercial use. Throw the treadmills and flywheel bikes in the garbage! ... show more

  • Excellent Airdyne Bike
Style: Schwinn AD 6 Airdyne Fan Bike
I've only just received the bike but so far it is worth its reputation. You can have as hard a workout as you want and it seems very stable. I don't know about longevity yet but I would recommend that you recheck the pedal tightness every few uses or so. Also, I read in previous reviews that the Polar H10 sensor (that I recently purchased before I got the bike) would not pair with this bike's display, but just to try it, I put the sensor on and it immediately began to display my pulse on the bike display. I've now used the senor with the bike a number of times and it seems to function perfectly. I don't know how to explain why others seem to have trouble but maybe something has changed in Polar/Schwinn hardware. Also, I have had no trouble with the seat moving as I tightened it to begin with and it has stayed where I put it originally. Finally, putting the bike together does require that you read the directions closely and follow them step by step. I put it together by myself and it went well (although there are a few steps that would benefit from having a second person present). At this point I would definitely recommend this equipment. UPDATE 7/25/2023 I still feel that the AD6 is an excellent buy. However, a couple of things to note. One is that after about 3 months the main crank drive belt broke. Seemed a little early for that as I (age 71) am the only one using it about 3 times a week and not an extreme use. The good news is that their customer service was right on task. I had registered the bike right after I bought it and when I called they helpful customer service rep took care of my order immediately and the part was sent out UPS the next day. I received the belt in a few days and was able to replace it myself with the help of the service manual provided online. Secondly, the seat has remained where I originally placed it from the beginning. Thirdly, my Polar H10 HRT works just fine every time. I don't know why, when others have stated that they weren't able to connect. Only thing is that the H10 had a firmware upgrade in March of 2023 that might have helped? No other issues with the bike and it provides a fantastic workout. ... show more

  • Alternative for Someone With Lower Back Injuries/Sciatica
Style: Schwinn AD 6 Airdyne Fan Bike
Update - January 13, 2015 -- I've decided to reduce my original 5-star review to 4 stars, for the following reasons. First, I have begun to agree with many other reviewers -- the Airdyne AD6 seat mount is under-engineered for the price and quality of this unit. Nearly every other "good" upright exercise bike on the market has a better, more adjustable seat. By comparison, the crude post-style mount on the AD6 is something I've only seen on bikes in the $100-$200 price range. If I were Schwinn/Nautilus, I would engineer a seat upgrade that owners of the AD6 and other Airdyne models can buy, and that would become standard on all new units. Second, as noted by another reviewer, the large "Schwinn" medallions on the wind guard fall off. Reapplying them works for a few weeks or days, until they fall off again. I'm going to glue them back on next time. The positives of this bike still outweigh the negatives in my opinion, and a good machine could be made a great one with a little more thought, design, and quality control on the part of the manufacturer. Original Review - Aug. 22, 2014 -- I am a 65-y/o man who recently underwent a successful quadruple cardiac bypass operation, and am exercising regularly to ensure a strong recovery. However, my fitness options are limited by lower back pain and sciatica, which makes walking, treadmill, and elliptical training very uncomfortable. I was on the verge of buying an incredibly expensive ($4-5K) seated elliptical trainer when I rediscovered the Schwinn Airdyne. I was pleasantly surprised to find several of these excellent units in use by my hospital cardiac rehab program, reincarnated from the 1970s and 1980s as the AD6. I love this thing! For me it delivers a good, smooth, stable, pain-free, whole-body workout I can do at home, unlike a lot of fancier, vastly more expensive machines. In fact, this thing delivers a lot of bang for your buck--it can literally kick your butt. The item arrived quickly from Amazon, in one large box. I used an upright dolly to move it indoors to the location I plan to use it in. Assembly was very straightforward, and without any help, it only took me 30-45 minutes (it might have gone faster but I was watching TV). I am 5'8", but unlike some reviewers, I don't feel the handles are too far away. However, I do believe you need to lean forward into the handles in order to exercise your upper body correctly. Therefore, my sense is that you are not intended to sit perfectly upright while using the machine, and that may be difficult for some users, whether short, obese, have a weak upper-body, or are otherwise physically limited, until they grow accustomed to it. For those who feel they absolutely must sit perfectly upright on an exercise bike, with no weight on their arms and shoulders, this might not be the right machine for them. Also, some reviewers felt the seat is too hard. Seat comfort is a highly subjective matter that depends greatly on one's size and shape. I found the seat to be large, well-padded, and more than adequately comfortable, but that might not be the case for anyone who is very heavy or unaccustomed to bike riding. It might help that I am already used to the hard, narrow saddles found on racing and road bikes. However, I do wish the AD6 seat were more easily adjustable--perhaps like the seat on the much more expensive Air Assault bike. (I think I prefer the Schwinn AD6 overall, however.) Those who cannot deal with a bike seat in general might consider a recumbent machine, with a more upright, chair-like seat. Finally, as some reviewers have noted, the AD6 can produce a fair amount of "fan" noise, and it increases with speed, perhaps making it difficult to hear a TV. Mine is parked in front of a TV set in my basement, where no one minds if I turn up the volume. However, I can see how the noise could be an issue. For some, music through earbuds might be an alternative to increased radio or TV volume. For others looking for a totally silent workout machine, you might wish to look elsewhere. As with any piece of home exercise equipment, it is only prudent to try it before you buy. Find one at a dealership, a friend's house, or a gym, and see if it really works right for you. Otherwise, don't complain if you soon find it more useful as towel rack than a piece of fitness gear. I am personally looking forward to using this machine for many years to come, not only for my continuing recovery and general fitness, but as a relatively inexpensive, home-based, hassle-free substitute for more expensive equipment, and as indoor cross-training for cycling on my road bike. ... show more

  • Airdyne AD6 is a winner
Style: Schwinn AD 6 Airdyne Fan Bike
I have been a serious bicyclist for 40 years. I enjoy riding one of my six bicycles outside when the weather permits. But as I have gotten older, my enthusiasm for exercise riding outside in 45 degree rain has dropped. This describes the typical weather in Seattle for about five months of the year. So as to maintain my cycling fitness, I had put one of my surplus mountain bikes on rollers, next to my Concept C rower, and used that for my indoor bicycling exercise. I was never that happy with the roller, since it was not as fluid nor offered as much resistance as riding outside. For quite a few years I had used a Precor recumbent exercise bicycle but gave it away since I felt the recumbent position did not prepare me well for riding my upright road/mountain bicycles outside. I had used a Schwinn Airdyne at the Y occasionally and always liked it. I had looked for one on our local Craigslist and never saw anything I wanted. So when this came up on the Deal of the Day, I did some quick online research and snapped it up immediately. The shipping box was somewhat beat up and had a puncture in it, and it does weigh around 120 pounds in the box, so get some help bringing it into the house if you cannot handle that weight safely by yourself. I opened the box and inspected and laid out all the parts downstairs and brought them upstairs to my exercise room for assembly. The frame assembly is the largest and heaviest piece, weighing around 80 pounds or so. I thought the assembly instructions were simple and the assembly hardware and tools secured to a card was a great idea. It took me about 30 minutes to assemble, but then again, I do all of my own bicycle mechanic work. I do recommend taking the bicycle saddle clamp mechanism out of the saddle and putting the saddle post bracket separately onto the knurled saddle post. I used a small hammer to tap it down so that it was fully seated onto the knurled saddle post. I could not get the saddle fully seated while trying to mount the saddle with the clamp still on the saddle. The saddle does not slip once the bracket is fully mounted and the screw and bolt is tightened. The electronic monitor did get somewhat crushed during shipping and did not work. I have been waiting a little over a week and have not yet heard from Schwinn regarding a replacement. All other parts arrived in perfect condition. The Airdyne AD6 is a joy to use. It is built like a tank, is quiet and is rock solid during use. I use a Polar heart rate monitor and have no problem in getting my heart rate into the target zone. From an exercise standpoint, it is a bonus to be able to work your upper body with the handlebars which helps with my Tabata intervals. This feature was why I bought the Airdyne over a spinning bicycle. It would be great if there was a way to mount one of my road saddles on the Airdyne. I think the Airdyne AD6 will meet my requirements for cardio and general fitness, and will keep my legs in reasonable bicycling shape during the winter months. I would recommend this model. Edit on 1/19/13: I had to call Schwinn about the damaged electronic monitor since they were not returning my additional emails asking about the monitor replacement. It turns out that for warranty support, you have to first register your bike with them. Completing the electronic registration process online is insufficient. They also require a copy of your receipt or invoice. The website does not mention this nor did their initial email to me. I took a screenshot of my Amazon invoice and emailed it to them. This satisfied them, but if I had not called to ask why my emails were not being returned, I would have waited forever, apparently. Also, the Serfas bicycle saddle pad (exerciser), sold elsewhere on this site, does fit the Airdyne AD6 saddle. Finally, the bike continues to be a joy to use and is as solid as a rock ... show more

  • Excellent choice but some things you'll want to know
Style: Schwinn AD 6 Airdyne Fan Bike
I had one of these back when they were big and gold - this is MUCH better. Small footprint, very quiet and solidly built. There are some other things worth mentioning. If you want to use the heart rate monitor feature, you will find in the manual it says "The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR® compatible model. Coded POLAR® heart rate straps such as POLAR® OwnCode® chest straps will not work with this equipment." Polar heart monitors come with coded transmitters. The only uncoded transmitter they make is the Polar T31 Non-Coded Transmitter and Belt Set Definitely worth the $35. Also, if you've read the reviews here, most have been 5 star but I looked at the less than 5 stars, the reason that they gave, and then responded. First, what they said and then added my NOTE: 1)The reason for four stars versus five is that the seat makes me feel like I am falling forward. It is adjustable but I haven't been able to find the right setting - -this may be a user issue versus a bike flaw and I will update my rating if I am able to find the right position. NOTE: This can be adjusted using the bracket under the seat. See page 10 of the manual. 2)Expensive, but perhaps worth it - Could use a bit more resistance NOTE: Whether or not it's expensive to someone, I can't address, but resistance is based on how fast you pedal. 3)ordered the AD6 and put together and start to ride - the feel of it was definitely off. Turned out the seat kept adjusting as I started to ride - the bolt used to tighten the seat on is such low quality that it stripped with only a few turns and now have to find replacement. NOTE: The Seat Post Adjustment knob is well made. I think what the problem was for this person is it has a pop out pin that needs to enter one of the holes on the seat post. Then you tighten down the adjustment to snug it in. See page 14 of the manual. When you first start up the Console it will ask you for your elevation to better calculate caloric burn. If you don't know, go to veloroutes dot org/elevation/ and enter your address to get it. The manual that comes with the AD6 says you can enter it later by going to the Console Set-up Mode section but I couldn't find that part of instructions in the manual provided. It is available in the more complete online manual you can get by going to schwinnfitness dot com >Customer Support and Product Manuals. The AD6 is new for the 2012/2013 year and replaces the Airdyne Classic (AD4) & the Airdyne Evolution Comp. It's a great machine and, imho, well worth the money if you buy it at Amazon. If you have Prime, you can even get it next day for $3.99! :) If you don't have Prime, this would be a great time to get it as it will pay for itself right now. ... show more

  • Returned my Schwinn AD7 bike-2025
Style: Schwinn AD 7 Airdyne Fan Bike
I ordered a new AD7 and eagerly awaited what would have been my third Air Dyne purchase over the past two decades. Upon its prompt delivery, my son-in-law assembled and tested. Assembled, it appeared to be a sturdy and sound product. My son-in-law, however, noticed a grinding noise upon testing, and upon examination, noticed that the flywheel band did not appear properly aligned. He suggested that I seek manufacturer customer technical. I called Amazon and was referred to Schwinn’s current manufacturer, Johnson Health Tech North America. I called Johnson, itself, spoke with a c/s rep in the warranty area, and explained to her that I had what seemed to be a problem that should be easily resolved with appropriate technical assistance. I further explained that i have limited hand dexterity. She texted/emailed instructions to open a “warranty claim” ticket after I furnished a list of claim ticket requirements, including my contact info, a description of the issue, a video of the issue, and a copy of my written receipt of purchase. I promptly complied with her instructions and then phoned the following day to assure everything I had submitted was complete. I spoke with another c/s rep, a most unpleasant experience. The second rep informed me that Johnson Health Tech would not accept my “cut and paste” Amazon purchase receipt. When I attempted to question her, she curtly informed me that she was not going to argue with me and that I either follow her requirements , or that the claim would not be processed. She did not explain what would constitute an acceptable receipt to Johnson Health Tech. She then stated that if I wanted to return my purchase to Amazon, it was fine by her. I was astounded at her haughtiness, callowness and arrogance, especially given the market availability of excellent competitive products. Subsequent to that unpleasant call, I emailed Johnson the following day but received no reply. After waiting another day or two, I then returned the AD7 and promptly received a refund. I’m just amazed at Johnson Health Tech’s horrible customer support! Two competitors - Assault and Rogue - appear to have excellent, if not better, alternatives to Schwinn AD7, which I will now explore. Schwinn and Johnson Health Tech, have lost this customer forever. According to the last customer service rep with whom I spoke, that loss is inconsequential to Johnson Health Tech. How unfortunate for the once storied brand name, Schwinn, that the brand’s current owner provides such abysmal customer support and service. ... show more

  • I hate this machine in the best way possible.
Style: Schwinn AD 6 Airdyne Fan Bike
In the past for cardio, I had always used an elliptical machine. I do not have the head clearance in my basement for an elliptical, so I figured an Airdyne is the next best thing. Take this with a grain of salt as I have not done cardio for a few months; but this thing is kicking my butt. The initial start of the pedaling is easy, but once that wheel starts scooping air, it burns. If you're doing intervals, the burning does not subside at any speed. Unlike the elliptical, the resistance is ALWAYS there and increases as you go faster. With an elliptical, you can find ways to make your workout a little easier at points by shifting your weight with each stride to use the momentum of the machine, the Airdyne keeps you honest as there is no momentum to be found. Package arrived free of visible damage. Once opened I noticed that the grommet where the seat post goes was slightly pushed in (probably from a warehouse drop), it was just cosmetic and easily backed out to the proper position. Once together, I noticed that the fan was scrubbing a bit on the cage, a quick push on the opposite side of the cage remedied that. It is fairly easy to put together and it seems to be very well built for a home use machine. The AD6 is not too noisy and sounds pretty much equivalent to a floor fan. The seat is kind of uncomfortable, but I am hoping to get used to it. The display is fine for what it is. If you're working out in a dim room, you may have a hard time reading it at first but once you're familiar with each line of the readout, it's not an issue. I also picked up the reading rack, which holds a tablet nicely. I see zero need for the wind screen as the air only blows on you when going backwards. Pedaling forward, there is no air blowing on you. **update 03/27/2014** Still going strong with the Airdyne. The workout is still tough, which I consider a good thing. I have gotten used to the seat a bit, but it is still slightly uncomfortable. One of the pedals came loose a bit and gave of a clunking feel when pedaling backwards. I was worried that something bad was happening with the machine, but fortunately once tightened up, everything was fine. I have read some of the mention of the arms being a little far away, they are a bit. I have a decent reach and unless I am sitting slightly forward, I notice the stretch required. I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing as it gets your core moving too. I am currently down 15 lbs with 4-5 days a week (30-40 minutes depending on mood) on the machine and a slight caloric deficit. **update 06/16/2014** I am finally used to the seat. I now have close to 700 miles on the airdyne and the only issue I have had is that the pedals eventually loosen. I may have to put some loctite on the threads to keep them in place. I now only hate it for the first couple of minutes until I am warmed up. I love it after that. I am averaging around 17.5-18.4 mph during workouts and it is still wonderfully challenging. Currently down 35+ lbs. Hopefully this machine stays trouble free for me. If you want to check the mileage on yours, at the end of your workout, just stop pedaling. Don't pause, don't long pause to quit. It will automatically freeze your workout, the read out will then alternate between the miles on your workout, to overall mileage. ... show more
