Funnily enough, I was planning on the Thrasher for a long time- but ended up getting the the Echo Bike V3 just a few weeks ago. It seemed like nobody had any good information about the Thrasher and how it stacked up. Especially when it came to HR monitor usage. The other dark horse, though more $$$, was the American Barbell Eagle Bike.
Assault Bike Pro X, please!!! Finally a belt driven bike from Assault Fitness. Hoping you get a review out on them soon. Looks like a round is going to be needed this year with all the new contenders.
We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.
Hey Coop cheers from Europe. Here this model is not brand new but is there for years with other brands. I have 2 in my gym almost for 1 year. I agree with you Iat all aspects and I have to add one big disadvantage. The neck of the seat will be wearing down due to lock system.
Not sure if you have do it but TRULAP 8592 adjustible dumbbells are similar in design to Nuobell but are much more metal construction and have more adjustment segments.
GGR, I just want to say thank you so much for reviewing this! Thank u. Thank u. Thank u!! I think I asked about this back when Coop first got his Storm Trooper Rack from Rep. And ever since 😂
Hey Coop. I am in the market for an air bike and am leaning towards the Echo but am definitely considering the Thrasher based upon your review. I would would like to find a bike that my wife and daughter could also use. They are only about 5'2" 120 pounds and I am wondering if there is a clear choice between the two.
At crossfit there was an older air bike with a smaller wheel that was killer forgot to check it out and get the brand and model. Best bike I ever used. No one used it because of the assault bikes I almost asked if I could buy it 😢
I would love to see another comparison between bikes. Still trying to decide if it’s worth getting an air bike since I already have Hydrow, or if I should go with a bike where I can do more endurance type of workouts. Also love taking scenic rides on iFIT, but I’m not sure if Nordic Track bikes are good enough. It seems like a lot of people have problems with them. I would not consider Peloton as I don’t like that type of instructors. I like more of a ~ get your ass there and put in a good workout ~ type of instructor, than one that says you’re great, you’re enough even if you give 2% of what you can. That just doesn’t motivate me. It actually annoys me.
Hi, Coop -- great review. In your final thoughts on the higher echelon bikes, I noticed that you did not include the Fringe Sport Raptor. It has a similar price point as the Echo and Thrasher bikes, but it includes some features like a wind guard and turf tires... Is there any specific reason why you did not include it?
Hey Coop new to the channel but love the content. Im a huge fan and love your honesty. New to the home gym community. Was wondering when you might be doing a review on the Rep Blackwing AB? Planning on ordering the PR-5000 here soon along with the Colorado Bar and Black bumper plates. Want to order a good all around adjustable bench with it. Keep the content coming!
I would like to see a new review of all bikes. Also, please consider doing a review if combo hack squat leg press machines. It’s a little niche but there are interesting options and no good reviews. Thanks.
Does anyone know why the handles in this video are different than the handles shown on Vulcan's website? I'd like to order this bike if it has the handles featured in Coop's video, but not the ones featured on Vulcan's website. Thanks!
@Garage Gym Reviews I'm not sure if you all have done a video on this yet, BUT I would love to see you all stress test a 3x3 wooden power rack the same way you tested the Reality Fitness rack just to see how tough a wooden homemade power rack can be. Another youtuber called "G Meth" built one and left plans for how to do it. It looks super nice. Anyway, that would be a fantastic video to literally take one of those to failure to see how strong it can be. Thanks!
Why do people think they have send $1k on a piece of equipment you'll use not even an hour a week. Go get old scwhinn airdyne, often can get them for free to $100 and can do just as well, people been using airdyne fan bikes since 50s. Fan bikes are all about burning calories fast , you aren't on them much to warrant spending $1k
Because it has the name HAMMER STRENGTH on it? Probably the same reason why Fettle Fitness can sell something identical in functionality as HAMMER STRENGTH, looks better, and be about half the price. The name. It’s sad, but true.
Hey coop. Big fan. If u want to send me the rep pr5000 with ares attachment down to Australia to have a look at I’ll allow it. No problems at all. Thanks for ur generosity 🥹
I would love another roundup on airbikes or anything in general Coop! You're roundups are my favorite style of videos you do!

Vulcan Rower has a softer seat and the foot placement made me feel a greater pump in my quads. It’s a decent machine.
I am absolutely in the market for an air bike this year and I would greatly appreciate a new 2023 air bike roundup!

Are there any air bikes where you can disable the arms from moving and just use the pedals? Any where you can stand up and pedal?
Compared ergonomics vs air bike elite plz. I have the echo and the ergonomics could be better, most issues with handles/arms.
I would love to see another comparison between bikes.
Still trying to decide if it’s worth getting an air bike since I already have Hydrow, or if I should go with a bike where I can do more endurance type of workouts.

Great review. Still waiting for your review of the Rogue FT-1 Functional Trainer… Quack

Yes, new round-up for air bikes!
Not going to lie. Don’t know how many more Air Bike and Adjustable Dumbbells Reviews I can watch 🤦🏻♂️

Gluck the Cuck has a review on it. But he's a paid REP shill, so take his opinions with a grain of salt.
I would like to see a new review of all bikes. Also, please consider doing a review if combo hack squat leg press machines. It’s a little niche but there are interesting options and no good reviews. Thanks.
waiting for you to get your hands on the new Assault fitness pro x bike
Cardboard painted black and zip ties serve as a phenomenal wind guard 😂
For sure review the rower. I will watch every rower review. Even if the take away is always the same: "buy the Concept 2."
Is the Vulkan Trasher the same bike as the AirGo AirBike?
New round up of 2023 coop
I'll second this
Byahhhhhhh
New round up for 2024
Does anyone know why the handles in this video are different than the handles shown on Vulcan's website? I'd like to order this bike if it has the handles featured in Coop's video, but not the ones featured on Vulcan's website. Thanks!
If anyone is wondering, I spoke to Vulcan today. The current version of the bike does indeed have the handles as shown in Coop's video.
Would love to see a review on the Vulcan Kraaken GHD/Reverse Hyper.

Is this a rebranded Sole Fitness SB800 Light Commercial Air Bike?
Any thoughts on the Octane ADX aka Airdyne X?
Have you reviewed the torque stealth air bike
Im in the market for a fan bike, would love to see a comparison of several brands. I really only have used the assault and rogue bikes.
I was looking for an air bike and I’m torn right now between the blitz and this.
What would be the airbike with the smallest Q-Faktor so far?
Can a Rogue Echo Bike monitor be interchangable to a BOS Blitz 2.0?
@_GarageGymReviews. here for the acknowledge & prize 👍🏼
Can’t wait to see this one
The Hammer Strength HD Air Bike is 169lbs; probably the heaviest air bike on the market. And it's stupidly expensive 😨
When will you review the ATX air bike? This could be truly the best one.
Cascade Air Bike Unlimited Mag
Our gym owns one of these but an Xmark brand. The seat will eventually fail and not hold its height.
you have one. one. and you come to the conclusion that for all of them, the seat will fail. Einstein.
@@maxmeier532 no need for name calling, just sharing my experience to the community. Sorry if I offended u.
Their logo is giving off a Mass Effect N7 style and theme vibe.
I want a comparison of the top 3.

Can you do your back in?

So...NICE!
Assault bike Pro X!!!!! Before the $100 off deal is over! 😂🤣
Well, now we need to see this vs. The Rogue Echo…
12:12 dude is motivated.
1:00 epitomizes
Q FACTOR IS TO GREAT FOR ME WILL CAUSE KNEE PROBLEMS NO BUENO! BROCHACHO!
Didn't the owner of Vulcan come out and say his products weren't for homegym folks and he wanted to only sell to gyms?
If you're gonna bring that up, why not just google it instead and answer it yourself. And you can enlighten us.
Why do people think they have send $1k on a piece of equipment you'll use not even an hour a week.
Go get old scwhinn airdyne, often can get them for free to $100 and can do just as well, people been using airdyne fan bikes since 50s. Fan bikes are all about burning calories fast , you aren't on them much to warrant spending $1k
Thanks I will have to check into this.
this is a copy of the Cascade Air Bike Unlimited. its almost exactly the same but is wayyyy cheaper.
first
love you coop
Can SOMEBODY…..somebody….SOMEBODY…somebody…. Can anybody TELL MEEEEEE….. why the hammer strength bike is $2500? Like how is that possible?
Because it has the name HAMMER STRENGTH on it? Probably the same reason why Fettle Fitness can sell something identical in functionality as HAMMER STRENGTH, looks better, and be about half the price. The name. It’s sad, but true.
Bro review anything from elite FTS anything lol
Think I saw a signature bench in the background
@@BJerrell That be sweet if he would start reviewing their stuff I'd love to know how he thinks they stack up compared to rogue ,sorinex and rep
Raptor Bike is leaps and bounds ahead of all air bikes
At $850 it better be damn good. That's WAY too much for a hiit device that is not c2 rower.
WTF there are plenty of us that knows this Air bike
Hey coop. Big fan. If u want to send me the rep pr5000 with ares attachment down to Australia to have a look at I’ll allow it. No problems at all. Thanks for ur generosity 🥹
