Air bike cardio machine with radar chart for burn output, sprint use, and training range.

Air Bike

What It Is

This is not your average bike. It’s a fan-powered, full-body machine where resistance scales with effort. The harder you push, the harder it hits back. You don’t ride it — you fight it. Used in CrossFit, MMA, and performance gyms for one reason: pain equals progress.

Score Recap

Burn Output: 10/10
This is the king of burn. It uses both your upper and lower body, with resistance that increases the harder you go. Maximum output for maximum effort.

Sprint/HIIT Use: 9/10
Immediate resistance response. Perfect for high-intensity intervals and short, powerful efforts.

Training Versatility: 8/10
Can be used for recovery, Zone 2, brutal sprints, or as a finisher. Just not ideal for long rides like a spin bike.

Best Used For
