    I've owned a few different Airdyne models over the years. All have been great bikes. There's a reason that most rehabs and MMA gyms around the country have these bikes: they are incredibly effective, for both the super fit and the not so fit alike! There are a couple of drawbacks to previous versions of the Airdyne bike: one was the noise level; they were quite loud. The second was the chain driven mechanism, which wasn't all that smooth. That isn't to say that older Airdynes weren't great (they were,) just to point out some of the shortcomings. The Pro model has rectified both of these shortfalls. I was hesitant to spend so much on a bike without getting to actually try it, but after watching as many videos as I could find, I decided to take a chance on the Airdyne Pro, and I'm very pleased with the bike. With the exception of the arms, assembly is straight forward, and the construction is rock solid. ***** A few people have had problems installing the arms. Here's the thing: there is a flat spot on the arm, that you must line up with the matching flat spot on the bike. Once you line the smooth pieces up, the arms will go on fairly easily. Just take your time and don't use excessive force. If the arms are lined up as they should be, it won't be required. The other thing with the arms, are the assembly bolts. I noticed that my right arm was noticeably looser than the left. Then, after looking closer at the assembly diagram, I realized I had made the mistake of putting both the left and right arm bolts on from the front of the bike; this is incorrect!!! The right side bolts go in from the front, but the left side bolts go in from the opposite side - the rear. Once I switched those bolts around, both arms were equal in tension. For me, this was counter-intuitive, but it isn't a big deal - long as you're aware of it..***** If I want to knit pick, I wish the monitor had more options for user presets (there is only one,) to program different intervals. The belt drive is SO much smoother than the old chain drive; there is literally no comparison. And while any bike that uses wind resistance is going to be loud, it isn't as loud as the older blade styles used to be. Lastly, I've seen some people saying there's no need for the air diverter because there is no breeze. If you are moving slowly, that may be the case; if you are doing intervals and pushing hard, there is definitely a breeze! This is an advantage in the middle of summer, but if you are using this bike in the winter time, in a cold room, you will definitely be feeling a cold breeze. I would definitely recommend either buying the factory air diverter, or rigging something up to at least have the option to block that breeze.

    Bike was easy to assemble in about 30 minutes. Especially appreciated that delivery included carrying into our basement, but no need to pay for assembly as easy enough for anyone to do themselves. Only thing I wish was that the seat could be moved a bit closer as the reach to handlebars is too much of a stretch.

    Wish the design made the fan blades blow towards you. Provides a great workout. I wish the handles weren't so spongy. Short workouts on this bike have helped my endurance riding a regular bike. Nice not to worry about increasing resistance. If you want to work harder, peddle harder or use your arms. The fan resistance makes it more difficult.

    Assembly was very easy. My son and I took about 30 minutes to open, unpack and assemble everything. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS if you don't want any setbacks. That's mainly for simple mistakes like putting the right arm on the left side. I wanted to buy the higher model because of the ability to adjust the seat more, but it wasn't available at our Best Buy. I'm pretty short (5'-2") so this model just makes it for me with the seat at the lowest position. The seat does bend a bit if you do not tighten it securely. WARNING! I had a much older Airdyne model and it broke because we weren't using it correctly. I recall reading someone else's review that advised to not put unnecessary weight on the pedals. For example, when you get on the bike, don't hop on the pedal. It's better to step on the center of the bike, plop your butt on the seat, then put your feet into the pedals. The reason for this is the lack of bearings in the system. It's belt-driven and isn't designed for the weight of your body to swing down on the pedal. I think my nephews were swinging on my old model, one kid on each pedal. Needless to say, you should not operate the bike in that way! If you follow the instruction manual and use it correctly, you'll probably have a much better experience than the people who rate this any less than 5 stars. I researched a lot of models and I think this is the best bang for the buck. Sometimes you get what you pay for, so please be weary of cheaper brands/models. This bike is as advertised. It gives you an upper and lower body workout at the same time or you can focus on one at a time, just watch the videos. The harder you pedal, the more the resistance. I hope this bike lasts a while, if not then I'll update this review. Enjoy!

    This bike is sturdy but for me, it has certain drawbacks. I wish I had gotten a different bike. The seat is a problem. Even if you tighten the side screws on the bottom, it moves all over the place and is uncomfortable. You can't move the seat forward, making the arms a bit too far away for mu liking. I am 5'4. The arms move whether you want them to or not. There is no other place to put your hands. I am disappointed.

    Very good , well made, exercise bike. Solid up to 300#s weight. Assembly was straight forward. Just follow the directions and resist the urge to remove all the cardboard before assembly. Left arm and pedal and right side are clearly evident IF you do one at a time and remove the wrapping as you go. One side of the frame support has wheels. Once installed, it is a heavy frame that can get away from you without another person's help while putting on the other support. The bicycle seat is not as good as would be expected. I plan to invest in a better one. Provided seat is hard to tighten and remain in position, and does not make adjusting for another person easy. Seat should be engineered along the lines of the removable bicycle seats with the lever adjustments. Mfgr mentions several times this is NOT a toy, or bike for children to play on. Should NOT be used around children. The pedals and arms are unforgiving steel. The mfgr provides a ( rubber?) strap to lock the arms to enable you to move the bike for storage. I find it too loose and use a leather strap instead. Overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

    This is a great exercise bike but it is difficult to adjust for a shorter person. I am 5'3". The seat is also uncomfortable, as it shifts forward so you feel like you are going to fall off. I feel like I can't get comfortable with it. But it could be a good workout.

    Works well, this will definitely give you a good workout without putting too much stress on your joints. Setup was fairly easy except for the seat. It was pretty difficult to get the seat tight enough to where it wouldn't tilt back and forth just from sitting on it. Other than that everything else works fine and smoothly.

    My old Schwinn AD2(bought in 1999) was getting louder(who thought that could be possible) and I was running into issues with the tensioner. I Was looking for a replacement and was surprised when Best Buy showed exercise bikes, and a new version of my classic. Delivery was a snap and very safe. Setup took me and one of my kids helping around an hour. From a workout standpoint it is excellent as expected. The feel is a bit different than the older bike as it is a single belt drive, but I haven't had any issues. I like the water bottle holder as that wasn't on the old bike. OH! This thing is so amazingly quiet compared to the old one. You get noise at higher RPMs, but you can have a relaxed ride without needing headphones to hear Netflix on TV or phone.

    Bike is excellent, not sure why they would send big seat with no grips to stop it from tipping backward/forward when riding. Had to switch to different seat that would lock in place when bolt was tightened.

    This bike is heavy but the wheels in the front make moving it easy. Setting up the bike was a breeze. My main complaint is the seat will not stay in place. I have tried to tighten it and adjust it different ways, but the seat would still move in the middle of my work out. If you are short, this bike is not for you.

    Excellent purchase. The product is well built and has performed as expected. It is actually the first piece of exercise equipment we have used on a regular basis. The only negative of the product is the seat. It is a pretty odd sized/shaped seat and the quality of the attachment point is not good. I ended up purchasing a different bike seat from the store and putting it on. The seat I purchased is designed for a 'cruiser' bike. The seat that came with the Airdyne was too big for my use.
