The Cheapest Belt Drive Air Bike In Existence…BoS Blitz Bike Review!

[@jonathanedwards3773]

Please do a review on the best rack mounted pulley systems. Cheap vs Rogue Slinger vs UPS system vs stand-alone machine.

[@haze.x3342]

I second that

[@Mh-cw2vd]

Slinger and a rhino can't be beat

[@markhalstead2386]

Surplus Strength UPS is best and can be used with a Rhino.

[@richardmather1906]

Well, not just the best. Include plate loaded versions. Got plenty of plates.

[@bmstylee]

Coop how about the Surplus Strength UPS?

[@donray2435]

Boom goes the dynamite

[@alleks5253]

Why are you do jumpy in that video... so distracting somehow. Just stand still 10 seconds.

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

Q factor.

[@ShawnIsBatman]

A cyclist finally responds, you beat me to it!

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

@@ShawnIsBatman Retired overweight triathlete with bad knees may be more accurate. Thus, I'm sled shopping a la Ben Patrick...

[@NicholasTheBlonde]

Hey Coop, Is there any way that you can do a review of the BoS Residential Air Bike? Respectfully, Nicholas

[@stephenrodriguez5203]

And now we wait for them to raise the price by $200 😆

[@TheCokee47]

$849 now while a Rogue echo Bike is $1300. All in CAD

[@PerfectorZY]

On Amazon it's 1k now lol

[@JAPelicano1]

THEY RAISED THE PRICE :(. $750.00 I know $50 may not seem like much but I was so disappointed

[@twan5201986]

It’s $900 now. I was going to purchase one today and seen the NEW price. So disappointed.

[@d3zzo]

Can you do a review of their new Residential Air Bike vs. this?

[@Eccles_basement_gym]

Gluck's Gym review of this a few months ago was pretty good 👍🏿

[@johnwesley2943]

It was until Coop recommended it. Now it has been marked up 200 dollars.

[@mikesbigtank6015]

So they raised the price to $800 did you ride your bike here and kick their butt?

[@AnakondaJones]

No offense, Coop but you should use Thayers witch hazel for your neck scars. It will soothes the rashes and razor burns, prevent ingrown hairs.

[@hauntedyards]

He needs to grow a beard and stop shaving ASAP.

[@ifartinelevators]

I've got a witch hazel bottle full of ass whup I'll come over there and open on y'all

[@Optimization_Coach]

I have the scwhinn airdyne for 10 years now. Love the bike but what I would love to see is adjustable arms. I adjust the seat height a lot to place focus on different leg/hip ranges. I would love to elevate the handle arms as well to align with shoulder placement.

[@ffjoshhughes8502]

Try shaving with the grain. I had the same problem until I switched my shaving method Coop

[@StretchyDeath]

Physics nitpick at 5:27 The bigger metal blades are harder to start up not because they need to move more air, but because they have more rotational inertia. When the blades are moving slowly, the air has plenty of time to get out of the way (just listen to the woosh or feel the blowing!) Heavier blades or blades that are further from the point of rotation are harder to speed up (think if the flywheel platform had a bigger wheel!) Great stuff as always, Coop & co.

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

THANK YOU... similar to my thoughts on the "tensile strength" of bars meaning anything... yield strength would be more useful.

[@KyleSteele88]

I can confirm it’s the same as the Raptor bike. I bought one when your last video came out on it before the price increased. Have had some issues with noises (fan blade rubbing and sprocket adjustment), the videos Fringe sent me to fix and adjust it were of the Bells of Steel bike. Same monitor, base, wind guard etc. Raptor is just a different color scheme with turf tires included.

[@neharahman7828]

Hi! How long did the shipping take for you? It’s been over a week and mine is still processing…

[@cgoblin]

@@neharahman7828 I had mine in less than a week. Alberta to Southern Ontario.

[@neharahman7828]

@@cgoblin That sounds great, I called them and apparently the order was rerouted from california warehouse to Indy. I guess an expected problem!

[@seanwalsh3985]

Same exact experience. purchases for $705usd before price jump and arrived with the belt noise rubbing on the adjustment. it eventually went away (the sound) with using it. they sent me BoS videos for repairing it (which did not work for the repair). however it is def the same bike. does anyone know the best calorie conversion for echo? I estimate it to be 1.5x. 50 cals on echo is about 75 on raptor/Bos.

[@noclaf78]

Something I’ve always wondered, why are air bikes and spin bikes two different categories? In other words, why not provide a static handle bar on a bike like this for people who want to do long, slow sessions rather than HIIT sessions?

[@adamj2683]

You can still do long slow session on air bike while moving arms or crossing your arms and just movie legs. Also, they’re different categories because the airbike is limitless resistance and typically no ghost riding whereas on indoor bike and bikes in general you can sit still and let momentum keep going. Also the resistance is different you have to change it manually usually. But yeah I agree they’re very similar. I believe someone made some stationary handles to add onto their Echo air bike if you search.

[@speedbumpmedia9584]

Bells just swapped mine out because the paint on the fan literally blew off while using it. I had yellow paint chips all over my home gym. The fan had zero primer on it so we’ll see if it’s a fluke or a mfg design issue.

[@angelocortez6757]

TORQUE STEALTH BIKE PLS!

[@PureCovfefe]

Hoping to see the residential one they just put on presale in a video.

[@gasd6542]

You should review the sunny tornado bike. Another budget option.

[@wasichuwacanta7010]

The width between the pedals is called the "Q Factor". I'm a recently retired personal trainer and Spinning instructor, and it's come down to either the BoS Blitz or the Concept 2 BikeERG for my home gym, but after this review, the Blitz it is! Thanks for this review, Coop!

[@jamestonbellajo]

This is a great value. Had my eye on it ever since As Many Reviews As Possible reviewed it a few years ago. I remember commenting about it in a few of GGR’s videos so I’m glad Coop finally got one. It’s unfortunate Fringe Sport jacked the price up for the Raptor Bike. That was far and away the best deal for an air bike when it launched, but now it’s back to BoS.

[@dogeshiba3518]

I had one I sold it right away....the seat will move back asap because it's such a poor design...no matter how much u tight it it will still slide back while your biking hard so annoying....bells of steel know what im talking about.go to their site and read the other comments... same problem as me...I had to literally tape my seat around with a electrical tape 10 times jist so it won't slide back on me....good price tho I guess

[@R0mans13]

I need one of these, but my fat ass just wants to bulk and push my max up. why am I broken?

[@fatbomb7832]

Another great review that literally saved me $$$! Thank you. I had the Fringe Raptor in the cart, ready to buy when I saw your Blitz video. My Blitz was delivered last week in perfect condition. Assembly was straight forward and easy following the enclosed directions and BoS assembly video. I even used the included wrenches (if you can call them wrenches). My only complaint is the seat which is not a deal breaker and no worse than the majority out there. I ordered an Airhawk bike seat to replace it. I've been using their cushion products nearly 20 years for back and hip pain.

[@twostepdrew]

Hi Coop - love the fact that you guys are listening to us. A request for a future review: can you guys review what the best plyo boxes (more specifically padded/cushioned) are on the market right now? Thanks!

[@pinstrypes]

Two votes for soft pylo boxes! The cheap ones are not very stable, and the expensive ones are 2-3x more $.

[@HooDRidEWhiteY]

Consider this vote #3. I'm training teens and need some boxes. Deciding whether to slap some together myself or not...

[@dylano7242]

The best cheap fan bike is one you can afford. I got a free 90s schwinn airdyne fan bike off Craigslist this year. And does just fine for the average person. I couldn't see a reason to spend $500-900 for a new fan bike

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

Gym equipment is way overpriced

[@kevinscott987]

Coop, the width of the bike is referred to as the Q Factor.

[@alantrujillo7695]

stance width in the bike fit world

[@sevynn3970]

This is intriguing. Basically a belt driven Assault Bike. Great review as always!

[@ak-zw8jv]

Damn it I wanted to buy this. Now it's gonna be $300 more when I go to purchase

[@bur2576]

Coop doing a burnout on an air bike was something I did not know I needed to see but I'm so glad I did

[@runiniscrazy]

No no no! I was planning on buying one of these. Fuck! Now their price will go up. Damnit GGR!

[@NeighbourJones]

All these airbikes are basically the same, just a different brand and mix of the limited components and designs already available.

[@airgliderz]

Just bought mine on Amazon prime, delivered today on time (3-days after ordered) love the quiet belt drive and how stable it is, sturdy tough build, air shroud is nice and included. comfy seat, first day impressions... impressions

[@japaniagua]

What about the GoPlus Air Bike that's currently on Amazon for $279.99?

[@realalbertan]

Q Factor - is the term you were looking for...

[@Maximus5798]

I have the Scwinn AD2 that I bought for $175 and it’s been great.

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

In Canada, the BOS Blitz Bike delivered to my location is $285 less than the Rogue Echo Bike delivered (free shipping on Rogue!). For $285 difference, and this is probably something you won't be buying very often, which one am I buying?? No idea if bells ever do sales on these in Canada or free shipping. Longevity is usually king with me. With both built in China, do we think that either is going to last longer than the other?

[@tas1424]

Going down the tech route, it would be cool if you could review some of the available velocity-based training systems. Thinking home gym owners rather than commercial facilities (so probably excluding the $2k GymAware), I'm thinking Flex, Vitruve, RepOne, Vmaxpro etc.

[@honkhonk1555]

Mine just arrived yesterday, put it together today. The quality seems really great so far, and the packaging was amazing. It shipped via UPS, and the outer box was beat to shit. Fortunately it was packed so well in the inside, it was in mint condition. Communication with the company is great, and the owner even threw in a free Tshirt.

[@paulorr9262]

Has it held up? I am interested in making this purchase as well. Thank you in advance.

[@Hipkip7]

Please do a review on the newly released ATX air bike

[@neharahman7828]

Hi, I ordered a blitz bike over a week ago. Today is the 9th day and my order STILL is processing. I’ve reached out to their Customer Service and no one seems to know where it is, or when it will ship. Surprised because their website says. 1-3 days of processing. Anyone who ordered one please help me out here how long did the shipping take??

[@scottzellner6412]

I bought this bike about a month ago. It is one of the best investments in my home gym;

[@mitchellrummer9651]

[@followthesun2115]

Great review! Can you provide the measurement for the Q Factor (peddle width) in your reviews of air bikes?

[@phloem4]

After watching your review, I bough this bike. I love it. At the gym, I used the Assault bike and Echo. The Blitz seems easier to pedal. Does this mean that I reach the meters/calories faster than those other bikes? Or is the resistance calibration similar?

[@nacho8070]

Hey coop, I think you could do a video on replacing or attaching turf tires to airbikes since you like them so much, y’know good ol’ diy stuff

[@lazur1]

I had a Schwinn Airdyne decades ago, & liked standing off the seat. I've heard tha some bikes' hand-levers get in the way of standing. Please mention which bikes do or don't allow for standing.

[@johne7212]

Another great review, Coop. I have learned a ton from you over the last couple of years; thank you. I have to say, though, that i hate the way you pronounce “assault.” Lol Also, where did you get your stand for your Prime Adjustable Bench

[@meisdetermined]

Man I’ve been asking about the Vulcan thrasher for almost a year. I’ll just keep watching and keep asking. My heart is wounded a little more each time a bike is reviewed and it’s not the thrasher. Still love y’all tho. :)

[@cmoneytheman]

never knew they had these so cheap until 2 days ago and I just found out of these in general couple months ago seen shannon had one it's really no need to get the overpriced ones when these are still way better then a regular exercise bike

[@nicholasjobe1341]

I grabbed a Sunny Fitness air bike for 30 bucks a couple of years ago. Amazingly, it's a belt-drive machine. Eager to hear your thoughts on that model as an ultra-budget option, Coop!

[@pushpoptake1599]

Have you herd of anyone braking the belt. Just wondering. I guess it’s not under a lot of heat like a automobile where the belt will dry rot or crack.

[@sonnyjay1347]

Is this same resistance as the Echo bike? I’m wondering this as a lot of people say echo bike has tough resistance.

[@PureCovfefe]

The seat slide is terrible for the price of this bike. Other than that great piece of equipment I just wish they wouldn’t have been so cheap with the lock.

[@woody1856]

i love my raptor bike!!! bought it just before the price hike.

[@marcustietjen6762]

Comes at a perfect time, just about to buy the echo, mind as well save a few hundred and get this

[@thomasmiller4843]

Got to say thanks to y'all at this channel. Had been toying with the idea of getting a piece of cardio equipment for the house. Really helped peak my curiosity into air bikes. I was considering the Rogue Echo, but with a price tag of $966(total with shipping and taxes) with the addition of a wind guard that was hard to justify. Especially considering I live so close to my gym. Thought about the Titan fan bike but came across this review. Really glad I did. This seems to be the best fit for my wants/needs and only $60 more than the Titan fan bike. $699 with free shipping on the way to my home now. Thanks again!

[@jasonmelo9379]

They raised the price so you better get in your car and get to knock out

[@Ryhno411]

I had been looking for a used Echo bike for a while and after this review I managed to find a cheap Blitz bike. Only thing I don't like is the seat adjustment like you mentioned. It does slide around on me sometimes so I wish it had clicks for adjustment but overall Its great. Thanks Coop and crew! 💪

[@JayTheFillet]

Do you think the Tru Grit Grit Bike is the same bike as the Raptor and Blitz? If you say Grit Grit 3x in a mirror, the Flyers’ Gritty will show up behind you.

[@pipozZz]

Man, Fringe really hurt Coop with their price hike. There's some healing left to do. 😁

[@bigdogkropp]

Rogue Echo Bike appears to have 1 belt directly between pedal shaft and fan blade shaft. This bike and Fringe look like they have 2 belts connected to an auxiliary shaft. Schwinn AD6 has 2 belts while the more expensive AD7 (Pro) has a single belt. This appears to be the main difference between the cheaper air bikes and the top of the line bikes. Is there any impact on reliability or functionality between the two bike designs?

[@beggsjoe]

Good review sir. Welcome in Canada anytime, but come to Toronto, not Calgary. BOS have a facility here too! 😂

[@andresmaldonado7356]

Would it be difficult to paint that fan blade ? Not my favorite color and to be honest, partially why I don’t want it lol
