Assault AirBike Classic Classic FanBike

An AirBike more commonly referred to as a Fan Bike that was engineered from the ground up to take the punishment dished out by today's fitness athletes. A great bike for Tabata interval training and CrossFit boxes.

NOTE: There are other brands that look and claim to be similar to the Assault Air Bike but are cheaper. If it's got any other name other than Assault it's an imitation and not the real deal backed by the UK distributor full parts warranty.

You might also want to take a close look at the extremely robust Tornado Fan Bike which has been engineered for heavy duty commercial use and virtually zero maintenance thanks to heavy duty Poly V-Belt pedal to fan drive system and has now become by far our most popular AirBike both for the home, heavy duty commercial and CrossFit gyms to-date.

When the Schwinn Airdyne AD6 was offered to us we thought we were onto a winner. Originally it was given a commercial rating but within a few weeks (fortuantely before we'd actually sold any) we were informed that the AirDyne AD6 was no longer covered for commercial use and it was a domestic only product.
Unfortunately there still wasn't anything like it on the market and people were still purchasing the AirDyne for commercial use which we strongly advised against as there was zero warranty for such use. Needless to say every Airdyne sold had belts breaking, crank-arms bending and new parts having to be purchased by the customer.

So we went on a hunt and discovered the Assault AirBike Classic by Assault Fitness Products in the US. This air bike is everything we'd hoped the AD6 would be and more.

What the Assault AirBike Classic is is a real bike made with quality components like a Mountain Bike for example. As such it also requires a similar level of regular maintenance as a performance mountain bike to keep it in tip-top condition but fortunately the manufacturer has a number of videos detailing the expected "routine" maintenance and things to watch out for.

Now we know what the Assault AirBike Classic IS we can move onto more of the manufacturers specific information or "the sales pitch" but really if you want a commercial Air Bike then this is it.

This is the Mk2 version. Upgraded from the original Mk1 which features a new and improved crank bearing negating any issues associated with the Mk1 Assault AirBike Classic.
