Raptor AirBike

I was able to cut my cardio time to less than half of what I was doing when walking on the treadmill or riding the regular upright stationary bike. I begin with 3 low to moderate pace minutes to warm up, followed by four 30 second bursts of everything I have, with 1 minute low to moderate pace in between each burst, then I finish off with 2 minutes at low pace as a cool down. I am off of this thing in 10 minutes and feel like I ran a marathon. Best purchase I ever made for my overall health, fitness, and well being.

The bike is great. But the after sale support is lacking.

I need help with the electronic monitor control pad. Over a week ago I have left two emails, two chat messages and one voicemail. All to no avail. When I call the phone number listed on the website I receive a recording saying essentially "we're busy"....and to leave a message. I've left a message before...last week, but no response. Maybe they are simply covered up with business, which is good, but not enough staff to take calls with questions on delivered products.

The bike is VERY well built, and has excellent design features. Quite satisfied so far. Just need help with the monitor screen and it's operation.

My ordered started off great but then went south due the bike getting lost In transport. It was shipped out amazingly fast but when I didn’t receive the bike 3 days later I inquired. Fringe apologized said the bike was lost and immediately shipped out that day and was sitting in my garage following afternoon. Great customer service and the bike and packaging came in great condition!

Love the bike. Everything but the display unit is great. The display keeps freezing if I rest my phone on the holder. I have to unplug the battery. You can enter your age but have not found a way to enter your weight. Calorie burn is way off. If Fringe upgraded the display unit, this bike would be perfect. I was going to buy the Rogue Echo but didn't want to I wait the 4 week backlog. Additionally my 5' tall wife can fit on it as well. Wasn't sure if that would be the case with the Rouge. I love the turf wheels too. Makes it very easy to move.

First off the company has great customer service. Was able to contact the owner directly with questions. Did a ton of research and I am a user of many airbikes so I know what is good and what could be better. This bike has all the extras, super heavy duty, feels rock solid, takes abuse day in and day out and is worth the price even if it is more than say the Echo bike. Echo bikes are great but this bike has more features and after being a user of the echo and others I can say the Raptor is superior. The belt, huge tires, wind guard, phone mount, bottle holder, heavier frame, rugged handles to move it around makes it perfect for any home or commercial gym. This bike is what an air bike should be.

Excellent piece of equiptment. The box came dinged up to shreds so I was nervous about shipping damage but all is well. Its very easy to move around adjust for any user, our household uses it daily. I havent figured out how to keep the handle bars and pegs tight on the bolt but it may be user error.

Best investment ever! I was so concern that my wife wont fit it since she stand at 4'10, but she operated the bike with no problem. We love it! Kicked our butt so far

I have been using this bike now for a couple of weeks, so I am ready to leave my review. I am used to the Rogue Echo bikes at my gym, but Rogue's shipping is ridiculous, so I set out for a comparable alternative. I came across this one after a Street Parking member posted how much she liked it. I decided to try it because I really liked the look of it, and I really liked the screen layout better than the Echo. When I received it, the instructions were decent, and I ended up having my husband to help build it as some of the pieces needed two people to hold and bolt in. So fast forward to my first workout with it... I really love how smooth it is and how well it is constructed. I also love that the screen does not hesitate to start counting calories when you jump on the bike. The only con I have found so far is the screen does not keep your calories/distance up for long after you get off of this bike unlike the Echo, so I think it would be pretty annoying to have to keep track if I were doing a workout that needed total calories for the whole workout counted. Other than that, I love everything about this bike.

Seat is not nearly as comfortable as it is made out to be. I bought this air bike to help me get in shape (240lb, 6'0") and the seat cuts off blood circulation in the pudendal artery. When you sit on the seat, because the support post is improperly placed the wide part of the seat dips as the narrower side angles up. The result is not only an uncomfortable seat, but one which cuts off blood circulation to the groin after just fifteen minutes of use. No amount of tightening of the two side bolts has resolved this issue either. I have placed a block of wood under the seat to mitigate the worst of the sensation, but this kind of solution is unacceptable for an $800 bike.

Holy cow this bike is amazing. I could tell by the box itself that it was substantial. UPS must have had issues handling the box because it looked like they pushed it from Austin to my house in the Carolinas....but inside....what a machine! As banged up as the box was, there were only 2 small scuffs ... so very cosmetic ... and the rest of the bike was perfect. Kudos to you guys, Fringe, for packing the bike up like a champ.
It took us about an hour to put together, but that was mainly because we were working in a small space and had to keep moving it. Everything was well marked and between the directions sent and the video here, it was SUPER smooth putting it together.
My coach subbed in 20 cal bike sprints the day after we got it put together and it was awesome! Easy to ride, the monitor is so clear, and it definitely provides a fantastic workout.
The only thing I'm still wrangling with is getting the seat "set" so it doesn't move during my rides. I just have to go back and read the instructions again.
I can't say enough how much I love this bike! Thank you Fringe for building a super-durable air bike! Raptor Rocks!!

Its alright - The instructions were not as clear as they could be (though it is intuitive regardless), and I'm dealing with a weird clicking issue in the chain area that I can't resolve and in installation, an allen screw in the seat post got stripped so I can't adjust the seat position, though customer service has been responsive to help me here.

With that said, I do enjoy it and it fits me better than a Rogue Echo (which, seems to have better QC and I don't believe has a chain) and much cheaper than the new Rep Air Bike that came out. I'd still buy it but probably should be more careful in the installation.

I have tried different styles of air bike - Schwinn airdynes, Rogue Echo bikes and Assault Air bike. This Raptor is the most compact and stable in my home gym. I get a full body workout and my wife (5’4”) is also able to use it well. Highly recommended.

Great product worth every penny. I’d recommend to anyone in the market.

Fair price. Easy to assemble. Built like a tank. Out of the box smooth ride. Two thumbs up so far👍👍

We've only had the bike for about a week, but so far it seems fine. It pedals smoothly and gives you a great workout, which is what's important. I'm beat after 10 minutes at 60 RPM. It's a great tool for getting back into racing fitness. Even a good trail ride on my mountain bike doesn't get my heart rate up like this thing. I haven't really messed with the different modes/programs on the display, but my wife likes the guided cues. There are 3 or 4 interval training guides and a user-configurable cue. I like the linear bearing for the seat adjustment. The seat post height adjuster is a little sticky, but the detent pin is nice and does hold the seat post securely. I only hear minor seat post creak above 70 RPM, if I'm still sitting down at that pace. I live the pedals, but my wife says they hurt her feet. They're similar to aluminum MTB pedals, including the little grippy nubs. As far as assembly/packing goes, I replaced the screws that hold the stabilizer feet to the frame; the OEM screws are fairly soft. The clearance bore for one screw on the forward stabilizer didn't line up very well, but otherwise QC seemed adequate. Assembly is straightforward and easy, hardware softness notwithstanding.The fan cage on our bike was bent and rubs against the tires while moving the bike, but we don't really move it very often. The crank cover was also cracked in shipping, but it is just a little plastic cover that should be easy to replace. I have not yet reached out to Fringe for replacement parts, but their customer service has been excellent in the past. For the price, I don't have any complaints. While I know of one competitor's air bike that is a little more robust, the Raptor is definitely better made than the majority of air bikes you'd see at chain gyms or even some PT offices, and it cost $300 less than it's heavyweight counterpart, so I'm satisfied.

It's worth the money. Doesn't take up much room. I personally love it without the fan cover... and the company is right there with any questions.

The Raptor AirBike has exceeded every expectation I had—and then some. From the moment it arrived, the build quality was obvious: solid, stable, and clearly designed to last. This is not a flimsy piece of cardio equipment; it feels commercial-grade and inspires confidence every time I get on it.Performance-wise, it’s outstanding. The resistance responds instantly, making it perfect for everything from steady aerobic work to brutally effective high-intensity intervals. Whether I’m pushing all-out sprints or settling into longer endurance sessions, the bike scales effortlessly with my effort. It’s simple, intuitive, and incredibly effective.I also appreciate the smooth ride and thoughtful design—comfortable grips, a stable base, and no unnecessary bells and whistles. It does exactly what a great AirBike should do: deliver a full-body workout that’s efficient, challenging, and time-effective.If you’re serious about conditioning, metabolic training, or overall fitness, the Raptor AirBike is a fantastic investment. I’m extremely happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, no-compromise cardio machine.

Awesome product. Definitely well worth it.

I absolutely love this bike, when it was functional. I had my bike for about two years. I only had one issue with it, that being the head unit failing after a few months, but Fringe sent out a new one and it's been fine ever sense. The problem, however, is the belt drive. 1. it's advertised as maintenance free with a belt and not a chain, but this bike does have a chain on the pedals. Technically the belt is what drives the fan wheel, but I feel like saying that it's chain free is pretty dishonest. Second, and this is the biggest issue, the belt can split. I used mine almost everyday either for warm ups or tabatas. After about 18 months, I got a noise that I could not fix. Come to find out the belt had split and separated and was rubbing on the fan during use. I contacted Fringe and they sent out a replacement belt without an issue. Unfortunately there is no instructions anywhere on how to change it out. After looking at it for a while (I am handy, own my own tools and not afraid to get in there and take things apart) I could not see a way to change the belt out without breaking the whole pedal, chain, fan wheel and all connections down. I reached back out again, and they confirmed that was the only way to do it. So all the talk about maintenance free goes out the window at that point when you disassembling it completely to change a simple belt. They sent two videos of some person doing this, without any directions, you just had to watch them and try to copy from the poor cell phone and bad angle shots given. Also, the first video was the break down, and it ends. Then the second video picks up and the belt is magically already removed and changed out without showing that process at all. I'm guessing that is because the process to get the belt off and back on is beyond tedious. After all that head ache, I tried to put this thing back together, and the pedals won't align properly so the chain sits right. When you try to adjust, be careful, because the adjustment bolts will strip easily and not adjust. Now I have a $1k non working bike, with no response from Fringe on what they are going to do. Fix this problem and make it user friendly so the belt can be adjusted!!! The
