Love The Bike! WORTH. EVERY. PENNY!!!
This is a great bike for working out. I have bad knees and so am limited in the types of exercise I can safely do. Swimming is OK once per week, but the chlorine gets to me and I don’t like doing it more than that. Rowing is OK but it doesn’t give me much of a lower body workout. The fancy electronic stationary bikes at the gym are fine for legs, but it is a waste of time for the upper body. Elliptical machines give a nice full body workout, but my knees won’t tolerate much of that. Resistance training is also good but only once or twice per week. Pilates, Yoga and stretching are great exercises and have their place but they don’t fill the need for cardio. Walking, Running, and Stair steppers are absolutely out of the question for me. So, my personal favorite form of exercise is the Dual-Action Stationary Bike for a well rounded workout that gets my heart pumping, uses all of my limbs, and puts absolutely no pressure on my knees.For 30 years, I have enjoyed an old time Schwinn Airdyne Comp which served me well. It has preserved my health by keeping my handicap from making me hopelessly sedentary. But for the past year or so I could see the end of the line coming when my old faithful Schwinn started making unusual noises and shuddering in a strange way. Much to my surprise, I couldn’t find anyone who could work on it. No one could get parts for it, no one even knew how it was put together. Even Schwinn no longer makes these and they do not support repairs of a bike that they no longer produce. I kept my Airdyne going for as long as possible, but the day finally arrived when I knew that I had done my last ride on “old Faithful”. I was forced to look for a new bike.Imagine my dismay when I set out to find a new bike and there was NOTHING that even remotely measured up to my beloved Airdyne Comp! Everything was flimsy. Everything was plastic. I even tried out one of the new-fangled Airdynes in the store and it actually collapsed with me in the saddle! Yikes! To tell the truth, I was scared that I might not find a worthy successor to the bike I had come to know and love. Then, I was researching bikes online and reading as many reviews as I could find, when one reviewer mentioned that he had returned his bike for a refund and spent the necessary bucks for and Assault Air Bike. I immediately googled that term and was delighted to find a bike that looks like the younger, cooler, and more hip granddaughter of my old, worn out Schwinn! I ordered it immediately!It came today and I am in love! If possible, it is even better than the old Airdyne that served me so well. It was really, REALLY fast and easy to assemble because of the clearly presented video that is included in the ad on this page. Within 30 minutes, my new bike was up and running and I had my first workout. The ONLY negative is that the seat of the Assault Air Bike is atrociously painful! I am not sure why such seats are made, but by the time I finished my hour ride, I was weeping in pain. For awhile, I was regretfully considering that I might have to send the new bike to Amazon for a refund. Then, as I looked longingly at my old Airdyne Comp and dreamed about former days of riding in the comfort of the wide, cushy Schwinn seat, it dawned on me that I could probably ditch that nasty instrument of torture that came with the Assault, and replace it with my old fave, the Schwinn Airdyne Seat! Yay! Within 10 minutes, my new bike was just as comfy as the old, and I was so inspired that I indulged in a second, oh-so-comfy spin!Some of the great features of the Assault that make it a step beyond the old Airdyne is the way the seat adjusts not only to height, but also to length. This gives a great custom fit to my body. I also learned very quickly that the onboard computer is much more complete than my old Comp and gives me great choices for incorporating HIIT training, which is just the perfect compliment to my new-found Paleo lifestyle. The new Assault computer is a little bit different in the way it counts calories, but that is not a problem for me, since I don’t measure calories burned, but only time, distance, and heart rate. A few things are different that I wish they had kept but those things are minor. All in all, it is a worthy successor to my old Airdyne.So. I purchased my Schwinn when I was 30 years old, and now I am 60. If the Assault gives me the same amount of years that I got from the Airdyne, I will be 90 by the time I need to buy yet another bike. Do you guys think the Assault will still be around by then, or should I just go ahead and purchase a back-up Assault Bike just in case? 😉

Very nice exercise bike!!!
I waffled for a while on the price of this bike but after reading a lot of information about others I decided that I wanted this one being a chain drive versus a belt drive and frankly I’m not sorry I decided to buy this one.Bike was received on 3/5/20My first impressions is that it arrived well packaged and all the part were there, it’s built like a tank ie it’s built to last for years, fit and finish were first class, welds clean and smooth , good paint job.A lot of thought went into this bike and a lot of good QC is evident in the one I received, that’s appreciated as a consumer.The assembly wes a snap, even a caveman did it. Give yourself a lot of room and have a trash can and box cutter handy.The instructions were simple, pictures accurate and the tools that came all worked and were easy to use and worth keeping.Adjustments are easy, and the bike works great plenty of resistance and it gave me the workout I wanted and expected.I went over the whole machine and checked tightness and the only thing I found was the screws on the fan cage were a bit loose, no big deal.I’ll give it five stars out of the gate and update if needed.A word of warning this bike is heavy, for some it might be best to have two people do the assembly and moving, I’m 71 but had no trouble at all doing it. But then I’m a tough old bird. ;)An update: The only thing I hate about the bike is that for $728.00 bucks you’d get a monitor that had a backlight in it. This is the feedback I left on the assault site.******************* I really like the overall machine, fit, finish, ease of assembly, all first class, gives a great workout all five stars.However that being saidThe readout/electronics are pretty darn sad for an exercise bike that hit the floor at home here at $728.00 one would expect at the very least a screen that had a backlight feature so the user could see what the hell they are accomplishing.Someone went cheap on the design at the end, I guess I could get a headband with a light on it or carry a flashlight to see the screen in my teeth.

Solid Bike, Works Great, Highly Recommend
I worked at a Police Department 5 years ago, and they had a Rogue air bike. The equivalent of this assault bike. I loved having the bike for my HIIT workouts and always wanted to grab one.I’m now 2 weeks into owning this bike, and it is going strong and I’m glad I got it. The price point certainly seems very good for what you get.The bike comes in one large package. I assembled it in my garage and used everything that came with the bike. This thing is packaged super well, honestly, I spent more time unpacking the bike than assembling it.The instructions are easy to follow and you can honestly have this bike up and running in no time. The hand looks that come with it do a great job. Construction, this thing is a tank and was one of my concerns. I’m currently around 240 lbs, and this thing doesn’t leave me worried at all in regards to my weight. It’s just as strong and sturdy as the Rogue.I was worried about the program modes, but I added the photo so you could see. It already has the 10-20 and 20-10 modes build in. I haven’t even explored the other programs because those two are all I really wanted thr bike for.If there is one con to this bike, I’d say that I found it really easy to cross thread your bolts. Just go slow and smooth and you should be good. This bike is worth the purchase and I’d recommend it over the Rogue if you’re in need of saving a few bucks.
