Raptor AirBike

Since it's fan powered, you get to determine the level of resistance you feel when using it. The harder you pedal, the more resistance you feel and the softer you pedal, the less resistance you feel. This makes it a great workout tool for the average person who's looking to revamp their fitness journey all the way to pro-level athletes who are looking to take their cardio to the next level. As we like to say around the office, the Raptor will get you in limited edition condition.

What is a Air Bike?

What an air bike is

An air bike (or “fan bike”) uses a large front fan for resistance: the harder you pedal and push the moving handles, the more air the fan has to move, so resistance scales infinitely with effort. There are no settings to change — you simply work harder. Because arms and legs drive at once, air bikes deliver full-body, low-impact conditioning that is a staple of CrossFit and HYROX training.

Who it’s for

Anyone who wants brutal, joint-friendly cardio in a compact footprint — intervals, sprints, and calorie-target finishers. Belt-drive bikes run quieter and need less maintenance; chain-drive bikes cost less. Prefer a legs-only, cycling-style ride? A BikeErg is the closer fit.
