The Schwinn AD6 Airdyne bike is a must have for commercial facilities and is also a perfect cardio machine for a home gym. It offers a cardio workout for both upper and lower body. With a virtually indestructible frame, updated styling, and new features all over the bike, the Schwinn AD6 has the same dual motion benefits as its predecessor and a few cool surprises. The advantage of the unique air resistance system is that it offers as much resistance as you can handle.
 The Airdyne's dual-action arms help you work out your entire body. |

The next iteration of Schwinn's Aerdyne bike is a good one. High quality and attention to detail. Comparison to the AD4.
We have used the Schwinn Aerdyne AD4 in our home for about three years. I'll start with a review specific to the AD6, and then provide some observations about how it differs form the AD4.
SHIPPING
The AD6 came in a "Shipping-proof" box. Very well-packaged and secure. It is very heavy, of course, so be prepared to have help brining it in the house. The AD6 arrived completely unscathed. Not a single scratch or dinge on any elements of the bike. All parts were there and easy to unpack. Great job on the packing and shipping.
ASSEMBLY
A very straightforward once-person job (but note that the instructions recommend that two people set it up). It took me about an hour from opening the box to using the bike. All parts are clearly labeled "left: or "right", there are just a few screws, bolts, and washers that re sealed in a labeled hardware card, and all required tools are provided. Holes for bolts lined up perfectly. Schwinn clearly made ease of...

SCHWINN AIRDYNE AD6 IS AWESOME !
This exercise bike is amazing! I had meniscus knee surgery 1 year ago and it is still not right. So it has been difficult to workout at the gym. On this bike you use your arms as well as your legs which takes pressure off of my knee. My arms and chest are sore my first week but that will go away. My mom had the original Airdyne when I was a kid and so I was happy to find that they still make it. This model apparently is their newest for 2012/2013. When I called customer service they had no idea it even existed. I guess corporate does not communicate with customer service or it is that new? But the lady was very helpful and found all the information I needed. I paid $721 including tax. My 2 local sporting good stores only had the 'Evo' for $750, $58 for tax and $200 for shipping and assembly. If you have 'PRIME' with Amazon you get free shipping, that alone would pay for Prime plus some. It is manufactured in China but the Schwinn Quality (now owned by Nautilus or Bowflex or Universal,...
Great Workout Bike
I think overall this is a very solid piece of workout equipment. I am just getting back into exercising after having my daughter (two years ago - oops). After five minutes I am definitely feeling the burn in my arms and legs. It is nice to have the option to rest your feet and just work the arms. It is also nice to be able to pedal backwards or move your arms in reverse motion and have the fan blow the air directly onto you; it is a very nice cooling effect. The product is not overly loud. It is simple to use - not a lot of controls - but gives you basic information. The reason for four stars versus five is that the seat makes me feel like I am falling forward. It is adjustable but I haven't been able to find the right setting - -this may be a user issue versus a bike flaw and I will update my rating if I am able to find the right position. I would definitely recommend this exercise bike.
