Based on your especially through review and others we ordered one. Love it, high quality, quiet compared to chain dive one at local gym, very stable, very comf very adjustable seat, wind gurr is nice. Planning to make my fan guard attached by magnet or Velcro to make it easy to put on take off. Much quieter the the airbike at local gym. Ordered on Amazon prime, it was delivered yesterday
Thanks for the review, especially you at 5’ working on it. You looked much more comfortable on it as opposed to the Assault pro. I think my wife would like this one better because of that.
Can you tell me what extras I would have to buy to use the heart rate feature on the monitor? Some sort of watch or chest band? If you know, please include model/vendor information. Heart rate feature is important to me but no one mentions anything specific in their videos.
I have a quick question if I may. I have been looking at getting an air bike because of its compact size - I don't have a lot of space. Almost every video I see of these things has people just about dropping dead from cranking their heart on on them, and gasping out phrases like "Satan's tricycle". What I need to know is whether it is feasible to use one of these *casually*. Can I put on a movie and spend 90 minutes pedaling on this thing at a sufficiently sedate pace without wanting to mail toxic spiders to whoever designed the seat? I used to do this with a recumbent bike (totally different kind of seat - I know) and it worked well for me at the time. I like the idea of the more complete body work-out. I can use noise-cancelling headphones to avoid the sound problems, I think, so the issue will be the comfort level of the seat. Do you have an opinion on whether a person could use one of these at a reasonable 'casual bike-ride' kind of pace for a longer period?
You could definitely use this air bike, or others, at a more casual pace. The pace and intensity are controlled by you, so this is definitely an option. The seat on the Bells of Steel is more comfortable and a little narrower than other air bikes, so you could probably be able to ride it for longer periods of time without getting discomfort or saddle sores since wider seats tend to make you more prone to saddle sores. The seat can just take some getting used to compared to a recumbent bike.
The only thing I feel is missing in the video, and the description below, is the listed price of the unit at the time of recording. 'Budget' and 'Value' are used a few times in the video, but they lack meaning without the context of the listed price (at the time of recording; that caveat will also cover you for any future pricing changes).
Thanks for the tip! We've gone back and forth about including prices in our videos because prices often change a lot. We always include a link in the description for the current price so if/when the price changes, viewers can see what it is at the link.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru mKes sense. The precent I'm accustomed to is computer hardware reviewers, who work in a world where prices are massively in flux, in both directions. They've mastered the way to communicate that their perception of value is due to current price x, and that its subject to change.
Man these manufactureers need to have options for extendable handles and multiple handle positions. So simple really

Awesome! That's a great idea with the fan guard, we wish brands would make them magnetic. Let us know how that works out, and thanks for watching!
Very comprehensive review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!

What is the purpose of the fan in the bike does it cool you ? I've never went on this one?
The fan is for resistance…the polling effect is an added bonus…
Is this tougher than rogue echo bike or about the same? I heard echo bike offers a lot of resistance. Thanks.
The blitz is noticeably quieter
