The Concept2 BikeErg Exercise Bike (PM5 Included), available from Novara Studio UK, delivers an authentic indoor cycling experience to build power, stamina, and cardiovascular endurance. Designed for home gyms, commercial fitness facilities, and cyclists, it pairs the same proven flywheel and PM5 Performance Monitor found in the Concept2 RowErg and SkiErg with an intuitive air-resistance system that responds directly to your pedalling effort.
An adjustable damper functions like bicycle gearing, letting you easily switch between lighter, high-cadence spinning and heavy, high-resistance climbs for intervals or steady endurance work. Built around a welded aluminium frame, sturdy steel feet, and a quiet, self-tensioning belt drive, the BikeErg delivers reliable, smooth performance. It also includes an integrated device holder for phones or tablets and comes with standard or low-seat options to fit a wide range of rider heights.
