help Concept2 BikeErg FAQ
How does the Concept2 BikeErg create resistance?
The BikeErg uses air resistance through a flywheel, similar to the Concept2 RowErg. You adjust the damper to change airflow, but the actual resistance also rises as you pedal harder.
Does the BikeErg use the same monitor as the Concept2 rower?
Yes, current BikeErg models use Concept2's PM5 Performance Monitor. It tracks watts, pace, cadence, calories, and distance, and it can connect to apps such as ErgData.
Is the Concept2 BikeErg used in CrossFit?
Yes. The BikeErg appears in CrossFit-style conditioning because it gives measurable output in watts and calories and is simple to standardize across athletes.
How is the BikeErg different from an AssaultBike?
The BikeErg is a cycling-style machine without moving arm handles, while an AssaultBike uses both arms and legs. That makes the BikeErg closer to indoor cycling, but with Concept2's air-resistance and PM5 data ecosystem.
