Pulse Fitness is set to expand its portfolio of cardio equipment with the launch of its new AirBike.

Designed to utilise air resistance technology, the bike offers a cardiovascular CrossFit-style workout. Unlike traditional exercise bike offerings, the AirBike has handles that move as the user pedals, providing a dual action that incorporates the entire body.

Similar to an air rowing machine, the AirBike creates resistance through a large flywheel which generates more resistance the harder the user works. It also features a 7-inch LCD console with advanced controls that offers 12 preset training programme options, as well as a manual training mode.

Ben Steadman, business development director at Pulse Fitness, says: "The AirBike is a serious workout due to the fact that resistance is regulated by effort, meaning the harder you work, the more resistance is created. Used at high intensity, it's a real test of mental and physical strength."

"Our AirBike has already proven to be highly popular with the MOD thanks to its robust design and technology and we look forward to launching this product into the wider fitness market."

The bike has a low carbon footprint, as it doesn't consume any electricity and is fully adjustable, portable and low maintenance, making it ideal for use on the gym floor and at home.
