Chain drive, Concept2 flywheel, PM5 display, lower-body only. $1,100-1,200. Best display and quietest premium bike — PM5 is best conditioning monitor available. Different movement pattern (no moving handles). Correct for cycling-focused training or precision pacing.
The BikeErg is technically not an assault bike — Concept2 grafted their RowErg flywheel and damper system onto a bike frame and used a chain drive instead of a fan. The result is a much quieter, smoother machine and the PM5 performance monitor, which is the best conditioning display on any cardio equipment. The trade is real: no moving handles, so it is lower-body only and does not produce the total-body fatigue that defines an assault bike workout. For cycling-focused athletes or anyone who wants precision pacing and data-driven training, this is the correct machine. For pure assault-bike-style intervals, it is a different tool.
Pros
- PM5 performance monitor — best display on any cardio machine
- Chain drive runs quieter than fan-driven bikes
- Excellent for precision pacing and data-driven training
- Smooth ride feel closer to road cycling
Cons
- No moving handles — lower-body only
- Highest price in the lineup
