Introduction

The Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp may look like your average upright exercise bike, but once you take it for a ride the exponential resistance really separates it from the rest of the pack.

If you are recovering from an injury the Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp is one of the top trainers for rehabilitative use.

Workout Programs

The Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp features a mere two workout programs.

For its innovative resistance system and maintenance free design, there is really no excuse Schwinn didn’t put at least a little more effort into creating some pre-defined workout options for the Airdyne Evolution Comp.

If having a guide to your workout is important, you may want to consider another exercise bike with more pre-defined options.

Exercise Bike Features

The Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp features a complex resistance-based braking which creates zero friction and provides considerably less maintenance than other, more complex systems.

The upright exercise bike is all about smooth operation with sealed cartridge bearings that provide smooth and clear mechanics.

A durable steel frame delivers a quiet ride with max weight of 300 lbs.

The Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp does not have a cooling fan, per say, but the small fan-wheel cools user during exercise and basically resembles a workout fan attached at a different location on the bike.

Have trouble getting off and on larger exercise bikes? The low step-over height makes mounting and dismounting easier for smaller users.

The Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp is considered ideal for rehabilitative use because of its wind-based resistance with zero friction.
