High intensity interval training is the best bang-for-the-buck cardio exercise you can find, and you’ll be hard pressed to find a better piece of cardio equipment to do HIIT on than an airdyne or airbike.

There are our three favorite airdynes available on Amazon- one affordable option, one standard option and one premium option with a lot of extra bells and whistles.

VALUE AIRDYNE OPTION

Schwinn AD2 Airdyne Bike

The AD2 Airdyne is one of the most affordable airdyne bikes you can find, and it’s still made by Schwinn, one of the most trusted brands in fitness equipment. Even at this value level, you still get a screen that tracks metrics such as speed, RPM, distance, time and calories- so you’ll be able to properly time your HIIT intervals. This model is good enough for nearly all fitness enthusiasts.

STANDARD AIRDYNE OPTION

Assault AirBike Classic

The Airbike Classic from Assault Fitness is certainly a step up in terms of structure and build than the value option. It utilizes a larger, quieter fan and has a fancier digital display, and does come with some pre-programmed workouts. However all the metrics that it tracks are identical to the value option. Assault is known for great equipment, so you’re also getting a name brand airbike here.

PREMIUM AIRDYNE OPTION

Schwinn Airdyne Pro Exercise Bike

The Schwinn Airdyne Pro is our favorite premium airdyne bicycle on the market. It is the heaviest, sturdiest and most customizable airdyne on this list. It comes with multidirectional handlebars so you can hold the handles in the most comfortable position for you. It comes with many pre-programmed workouts and can track all the necessary metrics as well. The 26-blade fan is the largest and quietest, which also allows you to burn the most calories per RPM of any option as well. And since you’re buying a Schwinn, you’re getting a quality name brand.

We hope these airdynes and airbikes were what you were looking for! If you have any questions or comments, please let us know in the comments below!
