Ronald SousaRonald Sousa: The bike was well packaged and the box was in perfect condition upon arrival. Assembly was very straightforward. I did have an issue with one of the cables that connect the display panel falling inside the frame. This was a real pain in the butt and almost ended with the bike being returned but I was able to fish it out of the frame and complete the assembly. Once assembled I was very impressed with the build quality. Very solid, doesn't move around at all, even with me going as hard as I can. I'm a big guy and I can honestly say this thing is a solid as my commercial Lifefitness bike and my Stairmaster freeclimber. Kudos to Schwinn for creating a serious bike that will hold up under intense use.
That being said, it is extremely smooth in use. The belt drive is very direct with no driveline lash or noise. The handlebar arms are made of heavy gauge steel and are very solid with no free play or slop at all. The display is very intuitive and easy to use, with all information available at a glance. I really like the speedometer setup as it's easy to read and leaves a hash mark at the highest recorded speed which is very helpful. I only wish the display was...

Harmony K.: Just writing down my first impressions, while they're fresh... I will update this review later, once I've used the bike more.

The bad news first...

You do need two people to assemble it. It says so in the manual, and you should listen to it. I assembled it all on my own, and my back is sore now. The largest piece in the box weighs about 40 Kg.

It raises a lot of dust in the air. You have to keep the home very clean to use this thing. If you've got carpet, it's probably best to avoid air bikes. Luckily, I got rid of all carpet long ago so it's not a big problem.

At high speeds there's a lot of air moving around and that makes some noise.

The air flow can scare the pets at first. My cat ran to the other end of the apartment and hid under the covers.

The seat is not very comfortable.

The good news...

I was able to assemble it all by myself in less than an hour, and it doesn't have any of the issues reported in other reviews. No clicks or loose parts. It seems to work perfectly.

It even has the air diverter that other air bikes lack. That is, I don't get a lot of air in my face while using it.

It's...

Stephen Casburn: I've had this airdyne for over a month now and I've been using it for HIIT (20 seconds all-out intensity 10 seconds rest) and it hasn't disappointed me at all. First of all, this airdyne arrived in great condition, it was easy to assemble as the instructions are very easy to understand and there isn't much parts to assemble the airdyne. When I first got on the airdyne to do my intervals, I was gasping for air within the first 5 minutes and my thighs felt like they were going to explode. The resistance the fan offers is tough and I guarantee that your quads will feel like mince meat the next day. As far as the airdyne goes, it is very sturdy as it doesn't wobble around when you're on it and it also has adjustable feet for uneven surfaces. The parts are very sturdy and versatile and I have inspected the belt and bearings multiple times after use with no signs of extreme wear. Personally, I didn't think this airdyne was up to the task of HIIT, but I was wrong which makes this airdyne ideal if you are on a budget.

This airdyne is superb when it comes to increasing your fitness level and it is a good addition to my garage gym. The fan is quiet, however it is...

RC: In the past for cardio, I had always used an elliptical machine. I do not have the head clearance in my basement for an elliptical, so I figured an Airdyne is the next best thing.

Take this with a grain of salt as I have not done cardio for a few months; but this thing is kicking my butt. The initial start of the pedaling is easy, but once that wheel starts scooping air, it burns. If you're doing intervals, the burning does not subside at any speed. Unlike the elliptical, the resistance is ALWAYS there and increases as you go faster. With an elliptical, you can find ways to make your workout a little easier at points by shifting your weight with each stride to use the momentum of the machine, the Airdyne keeps you honest as there is no momentum to be found.

Package arrived free of visible damage. Once opened I noticed that the grommet where the seat post goes was slightly pushed in (probably from a warehouse drop), it was just cosmetic and easily backed out to the proper position. Once together, I noticed that the fan was scrubbing a bit on the cage, a quick push on the opposite side of the cage remedied that.

It is fairly easy to put...
