Schwinn Airdyne AD6 Exercise Bike

The resistance matches my demands either faster or slower for my usual 20 minute workout.
The natural resistance works well, as does the upper body workout using the handles.
Air resistance rises fast with increasing speed making this very challenging. If you like challenge then you should definitely buy this bike.
It would be nice to have greater control over the resistance other than relying entirely on exponential wind resistance.
It's got too much resistance on it and when I called to find out how to lower it, I was told it comes preset and that's just the way it is...you can't change it. So there is sits, because it's too hard on my joints.

Schwinn Airdyne AD7 Bike

The unit operates very smoothly and provides a great workout.
This thing is a beast, super well constructed.
Operates smoothly. Solid, heavy construction.
Well built bike where I can build up resistance by peddling quicker.
The AD7 has the greatest resistance, finally i found resistance for hardy man like me.

What customers say about "Design"

Schwinn Airdyne AD6 Exercise Bike

Bike is well made, and was easy to assemble, just take your time.
The Schwinn Airdyne AD6 Exercise Bike is a solid piece of equipment. It is built to last a very long time with minimal maintenance.
Assembly was easy and only took about 30 minutes total including leveling.
This bike fits me perfectly. My wife is 5' 2" and the seat adjusts to her height easily, so she is comfortable with it also.
I don't ride this because the seat sits too far back and there's no way to adjust it forward.

Schwinn Airdyne AD7 Bike

This bike is solid! Easy to assemble.
Well built and well designed. Very pleased with this bike.
The two axis seat adjustment is a nice feature.
Seat position could be more flexible: Horizontal distance too limited.
The only down fall is the seat is uncomfortable after sitting on it for a longer period. I cant seem to find the right adjustment for it not to hurt.

What customers say about "Features"

Schwinn Airdyne AD6 Exercise Bike

The cardio movement is great for my upper and lower body workout; the computer console is great too!
The console displays RPM, speed, distance, watts, and calories. Very convininent features for that price!
I really like that console, easy to read even in dark room.
Instructions are clear enough, except that the manual that came with it was missing an entire section on how to program the console.
The console is not readable except in fairly bright light, which does not exist in my workout location. I have to keep a flashlight nearby to see the screen.

Schwinn Airdyne AD7 Bike

The console is fairly good and provides a decent amount of utility.
In use it generates a lot of breeze with the air resistant fan and keeps you cool.
Solid, functional, as advertised. Easy to get a good workout, including upper body.
it’s disappointing that Schwinn didn’t include Bluetooth and other options that are available on their recumbent and traditional upright exercise bikes.
Expensive, and for the price, I believe it should be able to accommodate a reading stand. A clock would be an easy, inexpensive addition.
