The Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp features patented air resistance technology.
The resistance system is based on exponential resistance which means the harder you work, the greater the workout.
As a result, the Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp is designed to provide a smooth resistance system for both fitness and rehabilitative use.
The wind-based system also sprays off cool air while you exercise to keep you cool and comfortable. Learn more about the Schwinn Airdyne Evolution Comp below…

For its innovative resistance system and maintenance free design, there is really no excuse Schwinn didn’t put at least a little more effort into creating some pre-defined workout options for the Airdyne Evolution Comp.
If having a guide to your workout is important, you may want to consider another exercise bike with more pre-defined options.
