Concept2 BikeErg UNBOXING and REVIEW!

[@eliplatt331]

Best purchase since my rower 4 years ago. Very versatile - relax and spin or limp away from intense intervals. I find it very difficult to hop on the rower and just chill. Not the case with the bike - great way to wake up or wind down. It filled that hole in my routine. Of course, you can bury yourself if you're feeling it. It's small enough to sit in the corner of the living room, too. Love it.

[@99cya]

Eli Platt exactly this. reason i bought the bike too.

[@henners1k92]

I think you just convinced me to buy it 🤣

[@mindofchrist216]

I've been riding my BikeErg for three weeks. I'm loving it! It feels smooth, like my road bike.I love the "gearing" effect I get from damper and cadence changes. I've been doing "hiit" workouts with my model D rower and free weights. FanTAStic addition to my home gym!!! Love watching your assembly of it. I put the handlebars on backwards too... LOL

[@mikehurleymastersrower]

They are aimed at the under 50s! Lots of people, men and women, row both competitively and for fitness into their 60s-70s-80s and yes beyond. Much of this is not ‘old folk’ rowing but is HIIT. It is often said people who are 50 look like people used to look like at 35. The same maths now applies right through the age range. So come on Dark Horse Rowing and other WODs remember us too! Of course my times in my 80s are not the same as a fit 35 year old ( loss of muscle power) but at 84 I can row 2000m at 7-37.7 and I don’t hold the World Record for an over 80 that is 7-26.6. So we buy or use Concept2, train consistently 230 times in a year, so please remember us and direct some programmes towards the Masters.

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Mike, I’d love to make sure we’re bringing more to you! What specifically would you like to see?

[@mikehurleymastersrower]

Dark Horse Rowing in fairness I do follow your training and have found most of it very helpful. One could say that whatever one’s age one could follow your training programmes probably at lower splits. I think my feeling is that all the ‘models’ you use, your occasional guests, the whole premise and projection is aimed at the bucks and us old bulls running at the back of the herd are air brushed out!! However there are some practical points, even though I warm up, do pre session stretching etc, I cannot reach as far forward as a 40 year old so that my drive is shorter, any tips!? Also because of the shorter reach my seat does not come as far forward which means the drive is less efficient. Next time you are out and about look at some older rowers, those that are serious rowers and see how they perform and think how you could help within Masters Rowing. , i think much of what you say and demonstrate is fine whatever the age, however there are difficulties through age which with a good trainer can be compensated for. Please think about it. Best wishes Mike

[@remarkymarkable]

Mike, it sounds like you should create some workouts for us old folks. Get yourself a KZbin channel and have at it

[@claytonbigsby2192]

I just ordered mine last night, and Concept 2 has already shipped my bike . It’s expected delivery day is Monday and today is Friday. Talking about great customer service . . . I expected it to take a couple of weeks. Thanks for your great videos on the 2 bike. They helped in making a decision to buy the C2.

[@AMEEDALSOUFI]

IDK why I love this bike it just proves itself, the way it resists and calculates all these numbers is amazing, I just love it.

[@RichardGray-s3w]

mine just arrived today. i have the row erg and am very excited about the bike. not good at assembly and i think this video helped alot. thanks!

[@mattdokken4382]

Great unboxing...I love my bike erg..so versatile, so smooth, and you get the pm5 monitor that we are so accustomed too. Concept 2 hit it out of the park with the bike erg!!

[@mattdokken4382]

@Austin Blanchon I do...It feels like a bike. Plenty is adjustability, and the monitor is the all to familiar pm5...concept 2 hit it out of the park with this bike!

[@Surestick88]

@16:39 Only the left pedal is reverse threaded, the right one is threaded normally.

[@domenico36840]

Thank you very much for all the work you do. Your videos are great!. They help me to actually get on the rower AND row too. Thank you as well for all your good advice especially your motivational philosophies. They really help me and, I'm sure, others too.

[@gordo608]

Now you have all of the Concept2 gear to do the workout "Acid Bath" from the Dubai CrossFit Championship. 1 round for time- 500m SkiErg 500m Row 1000m BikeErg

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Yes! Definitely wanting to try this one.

[@Prickley_Pear87638]

waiting for mine to arrive this week! watched this video about 15x in anticipation for getting my bike erg!

[@jreev335]

I am off the wait list on the 9th. Can't wait to order

[@Prickley_Pear87638]

@@jreev335 I love the bike erg!! Been great to add in to my workouts. The concept2 daily bike erg WODs are terrific.

[@johnbouttell5827]

It's a great machine. I use it to warm up before I go out into the hills. It'll be interesting to see what row-bike workouts you come up with.

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Yes! I’ll be trying the sprint triathlon between the three machines now as well

[@hugokramer5729]

Great video - I’ll be playing this again I’m sure when my bikerg arrives next week. Thank you.

[@RDaMyth]

Great Concept2 BikeERG! And, I appreciate that you kept assembly flubs in video.

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Haha, it’s all part of the process! It truly was my first time assembling.

[@TheGhu123]

How does this compare to your air bike? I am thinking of either getting the bikeerg or a airdyne.

[@andrewkitchenuk]

Why did I have to watch 20 other BikeErg reviews before finding this one. Doh!!

[@chrisl2285]

Have one coming tomorrow and I'm quite excited! It's been sitting in the local UPS facility since 5:00 am, two days ago. :( Maybe the only drawback to a holiday weekend.

[@yayager]

BikeErg is a great tool. Compliments the rower & skierg and provides a great lower body focused workout. #LegsFeedTheWolf

[@visuallyeducated]

Looks faaaaab! Want!! Already have C2 rower which is amazing.

[@tonyallen3138]

I just order one earlier this week, can’t wait for it to be delivered.

[@jsev607]

Seems like a huge drawback may be the noise factor. I don't mind noise for rowing, but I get the impression a lot of people want to be able to make their own peloton style setup at home on the cheap and hearing your video/instructor might be difficult here.

[@DarkHorseRowing]

It's actually pretty quiet but compared to just a bike on a trainer it's definitely louder.

[@loyalty1828]

Are all concept products loud?

[@bradbrinke4769]

Where can I get that shirt? We use these bikes almost daily at the gym. Love them!

[@DarkHorseRowing]

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Only have it in white right now but more colors coming soon!

[@2too]

is it too loud to apartment? What do you think? Too loud for neighbors, they hear it?

[@aaronjung8329]

Just start to wonder if the rider sweats a lot during workout, it seems easily to get sweat on the exterior of flywheel even get sweat inside the chamber. Is this a proper concern?

[@sqd8r]

It s it as loud as it appears to sound?

[@markmarkmark03]

I’m very interested in purchasing the bike erg but then realising to purchase one here in Aus is double the price, it puts me off.

[@abdulrahmanalmuhanna2722]

Great! I guess now we’ll be seeing some TRI Ergometer Workout Videos 🤓

[@jamesfschulz]

Now bring us some awesome workouts! Haha.

[@DarkHorseRowing]

On it James!

[@marianrubio954]

Can you pedal backwards on this bike?

[@andrewkitchenuk]

No

[@healthwarrior551]

Is this the same as a spinning bike?

[@db6572]

No, this bike has freewheel.

[@minibigs5259]

Great video.....and bolts have a shoulder :-p

[@djrounak]

seems like handles are placed really far from seats.... not a good machine for elderly people

[@andrewkitchenuk]

It's got huge adjustment on the bars. They come right back if needed.

[@swat486]

C2 porn! Just bought mine and. Is looking forward to videos from you on this

[@DarkHorseRowing]

Hope we can satisfy the need...

[@pierrec8174]

That noise !

[@skidork2777]

Those cranks look way short. Your pedaling is way to choppy. Not a normal looking cycle stroke. Anyone else see this too. Crank arm length is 170. According to Concept 2 neither the crank or arms are changeable. So a 5' person and A 6' 5" person will be stuck on the same crank arm length. Room for improvement here..
