Concept2 BikeErg
Concept2 BikeErg – Precision Indoor Cycling Ergometer
The Concept2 BikeErg is a high-performance indoor training bike designed to deliver measurable, repeatable training data while maintaining the natural feel of real cycling. Built around Concept2’s proven flywheel technology, the BikeErg responds directly to the force you apply to the pedals, creating a smooth and progressive resistance that increases with effort.
Unlike traditional spin bikes that rely on friction or magnetic resistance, the BikeErg uses air resistance generated by a flywheel system. The harder you pedal, the greater the resistance becomes, giving you complete control over workout intensity at any moment. A damper lever allows quick adjustments to airflow into the flywheel, functioning similarly to gearing on a road bike.
The bike is equipped with the PM5 Performance Monitor, the same advanced system used on the renowned Concept2 RowErg and SkiErg. This monitor delivers precise training metrics such as watts, pace, cadence, and calories, allowing athletes to track performance accurately and compare results across workouts or even with other BikeErg users worldwide.
Designed for both commercial gyms and home training spaces, the BikeErg combines durability with a relatively compact footprint. The welded aluminum frame and steel support feet ensure stability during intense efforts, while the belt-driven system provides a quiet and low-maintenance ride.
The bike offers extensive adjustability to accommodate riders of different sizes. Saddle height, saddle position, and handlebar placement can all be adjusted quickly without tools. The handlebar design offers multiple grip positions, supporting endurance rides, interval training, and sprint work alike.
Another advantage of the BikeErg is its compatibility with standard bicycle components. Riders can install their preferred saddle, pedals, or handlebars to replicate the fit of their outdoor bike, making it an ideal solution for cyclists looking to maintain training consistency indoors.
Connectivity is built in: the PM5 monitor supports Bluetooth and ANT+, enabling connection with heart rate belts, smartphones, and popular training apps such as ErgData or Zwift. An integrated device holder keeps your phone or tablet securely in place while you ride.
Whether used for endurance work, interval training, rehabilitation, or conditioning sessions, the Concept2 BikeErg provides reliable power measurement and a riding experience that closely resembles cycling outdoors.

FAQs
What type of resistance does the BikeErg use?
The BikeErg uses air resistance generated by a flywheel. Resistance increases automatically as you pedal harder.
How does the damper work?
The damper regulates airflow to the flywheel and changes how the resistance feels, similar to changing gears on a bicycle.
Is the monitor compatible with training apps?
Yes. The PM5 monitor connects via Bluetooth or ANT+ to apps such as ErgData and Zwift.
Can I use my own bike saddle or pedals?
Yes. Many standard bicycle components can be installed, allowing you to replicate your outdoor bike setup.
Does the bike require electricity?
No external power supply is needed. The monitor runs on batteries and can also draw power from the flywheel while you pedal.
