Today, Wattbike announced the direct to consumer launch of the new Wattbike Air-Pro. Over the past year, this heavy duty performance conditioning bike was strictly reserved for elite sports facilities, commercial gyms, and professional training centers.
Now, it is officially available for home use.
Wattbikes are already deeply trusted across professional sports, serving as the training tool of choice for Olympic teams like USA Cycling and every single Premier League football club. But why exactly should runners care about a premium stationary bike?
Cross Training & Rehab
Every runner knows the frustration of being sidelined. Whether you are dealing with a nagging injury or simply looking to add cardiovascular volume without the constant pounding on the pavement, off feet training is crucial.
The Wattbike Air-Pro is specifically built for low impact conditioning, designed to support rehabilitation and recovery while significantly reducing joint stress. The company explicitly notes its use in "off feet training, rehabilitation support and return to play programmes" for elite athletes.
If you need a reliable way to maintain your aerobic base while resting a strained calf or dealing with runner's knee, this provides a high intensity, zero impact solution.
Key Features and Specs
Here is what you can expect from the new Air-Pro setup:
- Dual Resistance System: The bike utilises both air and magnetic resistance to provide a realistic ride feel. This offers scalable intensity, making it ideal for everything from all out sprint intervals to long endurance or recovery rides.
- Advanced Metrics & VO2 Max: The Air-Pro pairs with the subscription free Wattbike Hub app. Through the app, runners can access VO2 Max testing to monitor cardiovascular fitness over a training cycle.
- Healthspan Score: The companion app also tracks a "Healthspan Score," which gives you a benchmark measure of your biological fitness age.
- Next Gen Display: It features Wattbike's new Performance Touch Screen (PTS2) to give you clear, real time access to all your testing data and performance feedback.
- Built to Last: The bike features a commercial grade, self powered design that is built to withstand high intensity, high volume use in a home gym or garage setup.
Pricing and Availability
Bringing elite grade sports science into your home setup does come at a premium. The Wattbike Air-Pro is launching with an RRP of £2,999 in the UK and Ireland.
