[@BasementBrandon]

The only thing more impressive than this video is the fact the bike was released like 5 days ago and you already have it up!

[@GarageGymReviews]

+Brandon Campbell Diamond the worst part is I shot the entire video, transferred my files to an external hard drive, started working on the video (at 10 pm) and realized my mic was turned off during shooting 😂

[@lazur1]

I've had an already-old Airdyne for11yrs. I gave it NO maintenance. The previous owner gave it NO maintenance. It still worked perfectly.

[@oliverallen5324]

I bought an Assault when it came out. I wasn’t happy with the amount of slop inherent in the design. The echo was 200$ cheaper for a while. The echo has actual buttons vs crappy touch things. If I could go back I’d get the echo, but the Assault has taken me to the pits of suffering no other device has come close to and for that I appreciate my purchase. Thanks for sharing!

[@drobinson0601]

We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. kzbin.infoUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.

I work on the equipment at my gym and we have 10 air assault bikes. These bikes are a maintenance nightmare. I don't think they were designed to take the beating that we give them. Issues: constant adjustments, constant lubrication, rust from sweat. You have to use locktite on every bolt so the thing doesn't fall apart.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Yep, I hear that often unfortunately.

My crossfit gym asked Rogue for a refund on the 4 Echo's they just brought in due to the belt slipping after only a month of use where the Assaults are still going strong after several years. I couldn't disagree with your review more. The Assault cycle is the choice of my gym!

[@robnoftz]

The Echo sounds like a good airbike but I wondered about the reliability. All the reviews I saw were from people who just got one, not from people that have been using them for a long time. Thanks for the comment. I'm trying to decide which one to get.

[@summitrx6445]

I have the Airdyne Pros and no issues at all, way better then the assault bikes I had a few years ago, and way quieter, havent tried the rogue buke yet though

[@robnoftz]

I got a Schwinn AD7 a couple months ago. From what I heard it is the same as the Pro version but it is sold with a home warranty. I have been very happy with it. It was easy to assemble. After the first couple of uses I had to tighten the bolts for the handles but they haven't come lose again. Even if they do they are very easy to adjust. No other issues. I have used it for both steady aerobic sessions and HIIT. I'm 50 and it is a great machine for HIIT without impact on the joints.

[@TRIBOY16]

I have been reading issues people having with belt drive air bikes. This is why I feel chain drives are still more reliable. And I dig the "momentum" when working out vs belt drive.... feels too much like an elliptical. The only one pro about the belt drive is lower noise

Hello congratulations for everything. I wanted to ask you, in your opinion, how to focus on the quadriceps, to also obtain hypertriphic results on that muscle, is this better or a spinning bike?

[@jodyyoung3980]

Coop, I haven't heard any mention of bearings with your review or on the Rogue site. Is the Rogue bike made using sealed bearings at pivot points or bushings? Also, What is it about the Bike ERG that makes it so appealing to you? Apparently, it is more enjoyable to use. Why is that? I'm interested in that machine but for $900 and weighing less than 60#, I just can't rationalize it being worth it or solid enough. Thanks for another interesting and entertaining review!

[@highwaytrout1609]

Now that it’s been nearly a year. Do you still rate the Echo bike as high?

[@lanyburnett7966]

Great review! I own the Airdyne Pro and love that bike. Nothing but quality. Just a tip, duct tape can be used as an excellent air diverter!

Good idea on the duct tape!

[@merritt001]

“Satan’s Tricycle” is HYSTERICAL!!! 😂😂😂

[@TheAllEngineering]

Having used both of these I still prefer the Assualt bike from a user experience point of view. The reason for this is that I do some drills that involve constant speed changes. The Rogue requires lees torque to spin it up and down so the workout does not have the same intensity. I agree that the belt drive and construction are superior to the assault bike. I have seen the fan blades on a rogue come away from the central hub.

[@jasonwaters382]

Freakin' hilarious review. Love it. Most importantly, very helpful!

Good comparison video. Although, the Rogue is just as loud as the other.

[@MrReivilos]

[@PeterSchneemann]

So, chain is better for a car but not for a home bike? I wonder how often do you need to lubricate it? I have never lubricated my normal bicycle, but I do not use it that often

[@austinwall3681]

Rogue bike vs concept 2 bike? I know they are different categories, but if you wanted a bike to beat on and get some quality work which would it be?

[@GarageGymReviews]

If I could only choose one, I stand my initial declaration in the BikeErg review that I would choose the BikeErg. If I was training for the CrossFit Games, I would go with the Echo Bike or AD Pro, but since I'm not, the BikeErg reigns supreme IMO.

Great video. Have you used the Assault Bike Elite? Would appreciate your thoughts on the elite vs rogue if you have.

[@davidcastellanos2492]

I’m the oddball I guess. I actually prefer the chain driven system over the belt. The belt driven system feels a little too smooth and easy to maintain the max effort if that makes sense where as the chain system makes me work a little harder to sustain the same effort. As far as maintenance goes, our fire department has them exposed to the elements and we abuse them with several classes of fire recruits using them in addition with the guys already on the job and they work just fine.

[@jugjivan]

How has the chain driven bike faired? Does it need a lot of maintenance?

[@liamdeeney3398]

Have you checked out the Cascade Air Bike? I tried one today, briefly, and it appeared to be solid. The price point, $1,800.00, has me thinking that I should grab the Rogue. If you ever get a chance to compare, I would be interested in your thoughts.

[@aTravelclips2223]

After my own experience with drivebelt driven equipement in the past, I still choose the Assault over Rouge. A bit more noise isnt a problem. Also, doesnt matter how overly built the Echo is, the rubber belt is its single weakest point and potentially makes it an expensive paperweight. While, the Assault chain has been tried and true. Changing the chain is pretty easy too.

[@freeaolcd]

Harley-Davidson motorcycles are belt driven, I think the belt will be fine

Thanks for this overview. I just got the Echo bike, and after putting it together I was wondering if the pegs are supposed to spin and if the handles are supposed to have a little play in them. From watching this vid, I learned that it's "Yes" to the peg spin, and seems to be "Yes" to the play in the handles from the way you were moving them.

I can promise you, the calories on the assault bike are much different than the Rogue Echo. It is much more difficult to get calories on the Rogue Echo.

They may both be citrus, but there is a big difference in taste...
