SCHWINN AD8 AIR BIKE The Schwinn Airdyne AD8 is the latest air bike to be developed by leading bike manufacturer Schwinn. It’s a well-designed air bike that provides the ultimate cardio workout that works both the upper and lower body at the exact same time. Use your own energy to drive the fan wheel in front to create your own form of resistance by using the drag against the push of the air. The harder you pedal and push – the more resistance your create leading to an awesome cardio workout! Key Features: SINGLE STAGE BELT DRIVE Most air bikes on the market are chain driven – just like you would get with an ordinary outdoor bike. However, the AD8 is one of the first to feature a belt drive system. With every turn of the pedals, you’ll generate the belt which leads directly to the fan wheel. One smooth direct system that makes it’s very quiet and very low maintenance. LARGER FAN WHEEL Compared to the AD2 & AD6, you’ll notice straight away the larger fan wheel. Not only do I think it gives the bike more of a robust and durable look but it can actually make for a more intensive workout. The larger fan wheel means the fan blades need more of your energy output to drive them around. LARGE LCD DISPLAY The AD8 has one of the largest screens you can get on any air bike. It displays all the information you need to keep track of your progress so you can see how your workout is going. It tracks: – Speed – Distance – Time – Watts – RPM – Heart Rate – Pulse – Calories Burned The screen is very appealing and everything is laid out perfectly so you can see your workout data clearly. There are on-display buttons that allow you to choose from up to 9 different programmes. A RPM meter is also displayed at the top which basically tells you how much effort your putting through the pedals and handlebars to push the repetitions on the fan wheel. MULTIPLE GRIP POINTS The handlebars are designed with a fully ergonomic grip made from rubber. It gives it a real authentic and proper grip for your hands. There are 3 main grip points with high, low and side grips. This gives you a greater range of motion but also allowing the right fit for you and what feels comfortable. The Schwinn Airdyne exercise bike utilizes exponential wind resistance to deliver a workout for both fitness enthusiasts and users recovering from injury. Because resistance levels become harder as you pedal faster, the benefits derived from this bike are tailor made to each individual’s goals. Unlike other types of exercise bikes with fixed handles, an air bike has handles that move with your peddaling action, so you get a full upper body workout as you work your legs. An air bike uses wind resistance via a large fan – so the harder you work, the more resistance you feel. It’s very linear and simple to use!
