description Concept2 Bike Overview

The Concept2 BikeErg is a stationary exercise bike that uses an air-resistance flywheel. Pedaling drives the fan, while a damper changes the airflow and feel of the effort. Its monitor records workout information, making it useful for repeatable indoor cycling sessions and training based on measured effort rather than an instructor-led entertainment screen. Unlike an air bike with moving handles, the BikeErg has fixed handlebars and does not provide a dedicated upper-body pushing and pulling workout.

A clutch allows the flywheel to keep spinning when pedaling stops. The design suits sustained cardio training and interval sessions in home or shared fitness spaces. It has a different emphasis from Peloton-style bikes, centering on cycling mechanics and workout measurement rather than an integrated class display. The name refers to an exercise machine, so it should be compared with indoor bikes rather than electric bicycles used for transport.

help Concept2 Bike FAQ

Does the Concept2 BikeErg use the same PM5 monitor as the Concept2 RowErg and SkiErg?

Yes. The BikeErg uses Concept2's PM5 performance monitor, so it can show pace, watts, cadence, calories, and connect to apps such as ErgData over Bluetooth.

Is the Concept2 BikeErg a Peloton-style class bike?

No. The BikeErg is built around air resistance and the PM5 monitor, while Peloton Bike+ is built around a large touchscreen, guided classes, and a subscription service.

What kind of resistance does the Concept2 BikeErg use?

It uses a fan flywheel with an adjustable damper, similar in principle to Concept2's rowing machines. The harder you pedal, the more resistance the flywheel produces.

Can the Concept2 BikeErg work for serious interval training?

Yes. The PM5 can track watts and split data, which makes it useful for structured workouts such as 30-second sprints, FTP-style efforts, or long Zone 2 rides.
