More about Assault
01Assault in functional and athletic trainingPopularity, international presence and design.
High reputation
A name that has imbued the category with meaning
AssaultBike and AssaultRunner have become firmly established in functional and athletic training. If you are looking for an air bike or a motorized curved treadmill, ASSAULT is the place to go very early on.
International presence
Visible in the professional training environment
ASSAULT, among other things, markets UFC, CrossFit Games and Spartan Race as brand references. This shows how strongly the devices are associated with competitive and high-intensity training.
Constructive quality
Built for load-bearing purposes, not just for the showroom
Stable steel frames, mechanical drives and reinforced Elite versions create a product family that ranges from private training to highly frequented performance areas.
02What makes Assault Fitness specialDirect load, motorless training and rapid tempo changes.
Direct load
More power generates more resistance
With AirBike and AirRower, the counterforce of the fan wheel increases with the speed of movement.
Curved treadmill
The ongoing person is the engine
The own running pattern controls the curved slat band. This makes it possible to change the speed quickly without having to operate the console.
Lineup
No power connection for operation
The devices operate without a power outlet. Separate consoles display time, distance, power, heart rate, and calories depending on the model.
Intervals
Loading starts and ends without engine deceleration
The device reacts immediately to any change in speed. This allows for alternating periods of exertion and recovery without any motor-induced delay.
03Who is Assault Fitness suitable for?Functional Training, Homegym, Studio and Endurance Training.
Functional & Hybrid
You need hard intervals without long setup time
The AirBike, AirRunner and AirRower react directly to your own performance. Work and rest can therefore be switched between within a few seconds.
This is suitable for Metcons, interval blocks, competition preparation and cardio stations within a circle.
To be considered: Air-powered devices produce a significantly audible airflow. For very quiet training rooms, they are not the quietest solution.
Homegym
You want efficient cardio without a power outlet
Because the drive is manual, the device can be positioned independently of a power outlet. The AirBike Classic and AirRower Pro are the more compact entry points within their respective families.
To be considered: In particular, the AirRunner and the AirRower require a lot of free space. Before purchasing, not only the mounting space but also the movement and access area should be planned.
Studio & Association
You are planning a heavily used performance area
The Elite models within the Assault family feature heavier or reinforced constructions and are designed for frequent users.
To be considered: More stability also means more weight and higher space requirements. If devices are frequently moved, the lighter Pro or Classic variant may be more practical.
Endurance training
You don't just want to sprint
Although Assault is strongly associated with HIIT, the AirBike and AirRower can also be ridden for extended periods of time with control. The resistance adjusts to the selected intensity.
To be considered: Anyone who wants to maintain an exactly set wattage level regardless of their own frequency may be better served with an electronically controlled ergometer.
Frequently asked questions about Assault Fitness
Do assault weapons need an electrical connection?
No. AirBike, AirRunner and AirRower are driven entirely by the person exercising.
The console requires a separate power supply, but the actual training resistance or the band movement do not require any mains power.
How is the resistance on the Assault AirBike adjusted?
There is no classic resistance regulator. The arms and legs drive the fan wheel.
The faster you press down, pull, and pedal, the more the air resistance automatically increases.
What distinguishes AirBike Classic and AirBike Elite?
Both models operate using air resistance and chain drive. However, the Elite has a larger and heavier frame, angled handlebars, finer saddle adjustment, and enhanced connectivity.
The Classic is more compact and the more economical choice for many home gyms and less frequently used training areas.
What is the difference between AirRunner Pro and Elite?
Both are motorless curved treadmills with free speed and comparable training programs.
The Elite is structurally designed to be more suitable for high-frequency commercial use and, among other things, includes a backlit console, stronger handrails, and drink holders.
Can you walk slowly on the AirRunner too?
Yes. The band moves according to your own position and stride frequency. This makes walking, light jogging and sprinting possible.
Operating the machine feels different than on a motorized treadmill and requires some getting used to at first.
Is the Assault AirBike only suitable for HIIT?
No. Although the bike is often used for short intervals, it can also be used for longer aerobic sessions with lower power output.
Because resistance is linked to one’s own performance, the intensity can be changed at any time without adjustment.
What distinguishes AirRower Pro and AirRower Elite?
Both work with air resistance, a two-stage chain/belt drive and adjustable foot plates.
The Elite is designed to be heavier and more stable and uses a six-bladed fan. The Pro is lighter, stackable, and offers Bluetooth and ANT connectivity.
Which ground is suitable for assault equipment?
The underlay should be firm, non-slip, and protected against pressure points. Additionally, sufficient safety and movement space should be planned for AirRunner and AirRower.
