Marcy AIR-1 - Air Bike- Airdyne Bike Review

How long will the Marcy AIR-1 - Air Bike- Airdyne last?

With a revolutionary melding of 14-guage steel, the Marcy AIR-1 Air Bike can hold users up to a 300 lb. maximum and is built to last through many workouts with moderate use. Parts and labor costs are on the purchaser, but the manufacturer covers 2 years on the frame which is rather limited compared to other models in the same price range that carry lifetime warranties. Keep in mind fitness machines in this price range are not built to last more than a few years anyway though a dedicated clean workout space would do wonders for the longevity of this machine.

Brief Overview

The Marcy AIR-1 Air Bike offers a double way to get into tip top shape with upper and lower body workout abilities. It has an innovative design that offers an outside feel with a way to keep the air flowing through the whole workout session. It is progressive and only requires the energy of the human body to power its movements. Conversely, users closer to the 300 lb. weight limit will be better off searching for a machine that has a higher maximum capacity.

Overall Quality

The Marcy AIR-1 Air Bike keeps users basically on their toes with its upright frame and innovative design. The AIR-1 offers upper and lower body toning all in one machine and with the compact 46” frame fits right into any home workout space. The two moving arms allow pushing and pulling exercise and work while pedaling or feet can sit on the convenient foot pegs allowing users to work upper extremities by themselves. The seat is padded and can be adjusted in a vertical manner to suit those of various heights and has a 12” range. Resistance is increased or decreased with the addition or removal of applicable body power to the pedaling chain mechanism. The AIR-1 Air Bike has a rather small discreet console that offers limited performance points and does not capture heartrate information.
