Concept2 BikeErg vs. Xebex Air Cycle: AirBike Showdown Review

The Concept2 BikeErg is one of the best air bikes available. However, Xebex has surprised me greatly with this one...

The Concept2 BikeErg is one of my favorite air bikes of all time. To be honest, I love all of Concept2 products. The Concept2 Model D Rower is the best rower the Concept2 SkiErg is the best SkiErg and their monitors are fantastic.

With that said, the Xebex Air Cycle from Get RXd has surprised me greatly. It's the closest copy I've seen and it actually does some things better than the C2 BikeErg.

One thing few people mention about Concept2... they have parts available on their website for every product they have ever made. I have 6 million meters on my C2 rower, and I just ordered my first replacement part(seat rollers) because they seem a little bit worn. They have a loyal following for a reason.

Not in the market for either of these, yet.... here I am

Coop seems like a nice guy, he should start reviewing gym equipment.

4 months on C2 wait list for a C2 Bike Erg. Ordered it today. 10 years from now the C2 will still be running good as new and still have resale value and a solid company behind it. That other manufacturer, no one will remember.

I have the C2 Bikeerg, it's my favorite cardio machine. It's better than the Rogue Echo Air Bike.

Not in the market for an air bike but you got my 9min of time Coop, great review as always, much love.

Just received the Xebex. its solid and easy assembly. Its made in Taiwan not China. The ride is smooth but the console is meh. I change out the seat and will also get clipless peddles.

Just placed an order today for the Airplus version. I know Xebex has gotten flak in the past, but I’m really excited for this bike and I appreciate that Get Rx’ed offers first responders a discount! Thank you for the review Coop!

I didn't know how to feel about your vids at first but for the past months whenever I see your uploads... I gotta watch! You're growing on me Coop.

[mattfire]

Ever sense i started watching your vids about 2 yrs ago, you have kinda motivated me into slowly improving my home gym. Selling old stuff then making the investment into getting quality gym equipement.

You'll find out which is the best one when something breaks or goes wrong. Every single part on the C2 from the first model to the latest one is replaceable and instantly available at a reasonable price and just about anyone can work on it and maintain it.

Coop usually is pretty consistent but him saying he’s never recommended a Xebex product is borderline at best, he’s reviewed their “assault” bike and has said it’s more or less identical to the Assault brand of bike, and he’s reviewed the Xebex 2.0 rower and has found that for the price it’s a viable alternative to a Concept 2

The way that the flywheel is angled up on the Xebex makes it much more easier to change while pedaling.

[RvFlip]

I could be biased by the fact that I have Concept2 Bikeerg - But to me, it feels like he is fighting himself to recommend the Xebex. I have no familiarity with the Xebex, but will say - I do like my workouts on my Concept2 Bikeerg. The Bikeerg is a fantastic piece of gym equipment and would recommend it.

[alexandretremblay]

I have just added the concept 2 rower to my home gym! So great, i can’t believe I have waited so long to add this one! Now on the waiting list for both the bike erg and the ski erg! Concept2 just make great products!!!

[slendon]

I am shocked they didn’t get the price lower. I am sorry there is no way I would pick the Xebex for just $90 savings. Now $200 differences I sold.

[verdelljackson]

Have you done a review of the Xebex airplus runner or planning on doing a review of it?

[lousantiago]

Thank you. Love the review. Got the Xebex. Had nothing but top-notch performance from the Xebex rower, so took on the Xebex bike. Thanks for the review coop.

[TheMaxik]

Yes, you might have noticed that the video quality is not that good on this one. But I like it! it gives me 2012-2018 vibes... when things seemed more authentic and less focused on looking perfect on a 4K screen. I don't know. When content mattered more than production.

[patthetrucker]

I have both bikes and I love them. I have the bikeerg in my big 🚚 cause its light and easy to move around. The xebex is at my house. Its much bigger and heavier. The added resistance makes a big difference.
