Bike Concept 2 BikeErg

Overview

The Bike Concept 2 BikeErg is the latest innovation from the renowned makers of the Concept2 Indoor Rower and SkiErg, bringing their expertise to indoor cycling. Utilizing the same advanced engineering principles and the reliable PM5 performance monitor as those time-tested machines, the BikeErg is notably lighter in weight than most stationary bikes and offers a riding feel remarkably closer to actual outdoor cycling. The design is meticulously built around precision flywheel air resistance, creating a workout uniquely customized to any athlete who uses it. As you pedal harder, the intensity and challenge of the workout intelligently increase accordingly. At the same time, the inclusion of a clutch lets you freewheel like a standard bicycle, while a wide damper range precisely re-creates the effect of changing gears, adding versatility to your training.

The Concept2 BikeErg is highly portable, incredibly easy to assemble, and thoughtfully designed with an adjustable saddle and handlebars. Users even have the option to attach their own bicycle seat, handlebars, or pedals (most styles are compatible) to create the ultimate custom indoor bike experience. Rather than a traditional chain, the BikeErg features high-strength, self-tensioning polygroove belts, which greatly reduce the sound output and make setting it up practical in any room of the house without causing disruption.

Features and Performance

• PM5 Performance Monitor: Included standard with the unit, the PM5 Performance Monitor offers a wide range of instant data feedback, including pace, watts, cadence (rpm), and calories. These statistics are then saved and stored automatically in the monitor’s memory or an optional USB stick. The PM5 has both Bluetooth and ANT+ wireless options, so you can connect to most wireless heart rate belts, as well as Concept2’s ErgData app and other third-party apps for comprehensive tracking. The PM5 takes two D-cell batteries, and its power is generated by the flywheel when you ride, significantly saving on battery life. You can also replace the monitor with the included device holder for your phone or tablet.
• Flywheel & Damper: Like the Concept2 Rowers and SkiErg, the BikeErg uses air resistance generated by a fanned flywheel. This makes the machine directly responsive to your own output as you pedal, providing a personalized and dynamic workout. The inclusion of a special damper also precisely re-creates the effect of shifting gears on a standard bicycle, as the user can alter the amount of air going into the flywheel. By changing settings (from 1 to 10), you can simulate the experience of a flat straightaway ride or a challenging uphill climb. The BikeErg is uniquely customizable to the skill sets and preferences of any athlete, regardless of size or experience.
• Quality Construction + Easy Mobility: Few fan bikes can match the BikeErg for its precision engineering, exceptional durability, and convenient portability. Setup takes just a matter of minutes, and the unit’s lightweight welded aluminum frame, combined with a set of caster wheels, makes it uniquely mobile for a so-called “stationary” bike. The use of self-tensioning polygroove belts also greatly reduces the sound output of the bike, making it a viable and quiet option for any room in the house.
• Adjustable & Customizable: The BikeErg is designed with an adjustable saddle and handlebars, both of which can be moved vertically (up-and-down) and horizontally (forward-and-back) into a custom, secure setting. Users can even decide to attach their own bicycle seat, handlebars, or pedals (most styles are compatible) to create the ultimate custom indoor bike, perfectly mirroring their outdoor setup.
• Part of the Concept2 Family of Ergometers: Backed by Concept2’s nearly 40 years as a leading American fitness equipment manufacturer, the BikeErg is a worthy upgrade over an existing stationary bike or a logical addition for a gym already equipped with the popular Concept2 Rower and SkiErg. These machines are all built to last and utilize the same flywheel technology and advanced monitor system to give any athlete an efficient, consistent training experience across modalities.
