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.
