Xebex air bike review: AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 specs and price

What it is and who it’s for

This Xebex air bike review covers the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0, an air resistance exercise bike sold through Get RX’d for $1,499.00. It pairs a moving handlebar with a fan-driven resistance wheel, so pedaling and pushing the handles both drive the fan and both set the resistance level.

Get RX’d’s own copy for this model points to resistance levels 6-8 as the “heaviest levels,” recommended for HIIT, expert-level hill climbs, power training, and higher wattage output. That framing, plus a listed max user weight of 227kg (500 lb), points this bike at lifters who want a sturdier air bike for interval work rather than long, easy steady-state rides.

Get RX’d states a rider can burn an average of 57% more calories per hour using resistance level 8 versus level 1, and that wattage output increases by nearly 76% on average, based on a 60kg (about 132 lb) user assumption. That is the maker’s own stated figure, not an independent measurement, and it is specific to that body weight assumption.

At 79kg (174 lb) net weight, this is the heaviest of the three Xebex models in our product research, which typically means a more planted ride during hard efforts. It is priced $400 above the Xebex Eco Air Cycle ($1,099.00) and $250 above the Xebex AirPlus Cycle Smart Connect ($1,249.00) (our calculation), the two other Xebex models Get RX’d lists.

Xebex AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 specs

The table below lists every spec the Get RX’d product page gives for this model.

Spec	Value
Net weight	79kg (174 lb)
Ship weight	89kg (196 lb)
Ship dimensions	145x39x96 cm (57x15x38 in)
Assembled dimensions	144x66x139 cm (57x26x55 in)
Footprint	144x66 cm (57x26x55 in)
Max user weight	227kg (500 lb)
Warranty	5 year frame, 2 year parts

Note that the footprint and assembled dimensions figures both use the same 57x26x55 in string on the maker page. Get RX’d does not list a separate width-only footprint, so treat the 144x66 cm (57x26 in) figures as the floor space to plan for, and the 139 cm (55 in) figure as approximate handlebar height.

Price and variants

Get RX’d lists a single Default Title variant of the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 at $1,499.00, and the page showed it in stock on the date checked. Get RX’d also runs a standing offer of 10% off any Get RX’d items added to the cart with the purchase of Xebex Fitness cardio equipment, which can lower the total order cost if you add accessories or parts at checkout.

Using the maker’s own weight figures, the cost works out to roughly $8.61 per pound of net frame weight (our calculation: $1,499.00 ÷ 174 lb). That is a useful way to compare against the other Xebex models sold by the same retailer.

Xebex model	Price	Listed weight	Cost per lb (our calculation)
AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0	$1,499.00	174 lb (net)	$8.61
AirPlus Cycle Smart Connect	$1,249.00	127 lb	$9.83
Eco Air Cycle	$1,099.00	127 lb	$8.65

By this calculation, the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 delivers the most frame weight per dollar of the three Xebex models, though weight alone does not capture console features, fan design, or resistance curve — none of which the Get RX’d page details beyond the calorie and wattage claim above. Get RX’d does not list separate financing terms or bundle pricing for this model in our product research, so plan on the $1,499.00 sticker price plus any cart-level discount from the 10%-off cardio promo.

Build and features

Get RX’d’s page for the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 is built around the resistance-level marketing claim rather than a detailed parts list. The stated headline is that resistance levels 6-8 are the “heaviest levels,” positioned for HIIT, hill-climb intervals, power training, and higher calorie burn per hour, with the 57% more calories per hour and nearly 76% higher wattage figures both tied to level 8 versus level 1 at a 60kg user assumption.

For parts detail, Get RX’d’s separate air bike parts page lists individual replacement components sold for the AB-1 and ABMG-3 platform, including a V2 Air Bike Console (AB-1-PT-05MF), a V2 Smart Connect Air Bike Console (AB-1-PT-05BAQ), a seat (AB-1-PT-09), a seat track (AB-1-PT-07), left and right pedals (AB-1-PT-20 and AB-1-PT-21), a connecting arm pair (AB-1-PT-15), crank arms (AB-1-PT-38 and AB-1-PT-39), a bottom bracket set (AB-1-PT-43), left and right chains (AB-1-PT-44 and AB-1-PT-45), and an idler hub set. That parts catalog signals the bike uses a chain-and-crank drivetrain with a serviceable seat post, seat slider knob, and adjustable leveler feet (AB-1-PT-75), and that Get RX’d stocks individual replacement parts rather than requiring a full unit swap for common wear items.

The parts page also notes that consoles with a serial number of 1870 or later use the newer V2 console mounts, and that bikes below that serial number need a universal console stem (AB-1-PT-06Dual) to fit a replacement V2 or Smart Connect console. That detail matters if you are buying a used AirPlus bike or sourcing replacement parts later, since console compatibility depends on the unit’s serial number.

The AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0’s own product page does not list a console model, display metrics, or connectivity features directly — those specifics appear on the Eco Air Cycle and AirPlus Cycle Smart Connect listings instead (see the comparison table below). Buyers who want a documented list of on-screen metrics before ordering should confirm current console specs directly with Get RX’d for this specific model.

How the Xebex AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 compares

Get RX’d sells three Xebex air bike models, and Fringe Sport sells a separate air bike, the Raptor AirBike. The table below lines up every spec our product research has for each.

Model	Price	Weight	Warranty	Notable spec
Xebex AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0	$1,499.00	174 lb net / 196 lb ship	5 year frame, 2 year parts	500 lb max user weight
Xebex AirPlus Cycle Smart Connect	$1,249.00	127 lb / 145 lb ship	5 year frame, 2 year parts/console	125x52x120 cm assembled
Xebex Eco Air Cycle	$1,099.00	127 lb	5 year frame, 2 year parts/console	Peloton App compatible
Raptor AirBike (Fringe Sport)	$995.00	130 lb	3 years	Full-steel welded fan

The AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 is the most expensive and heaviest of the four, and the only one in our product research with a listed 500 lb max user weight (the other Xebex and Raptor pages in our product research do not state a max user weight figure). It also carries the longest warranty term of the group at 5 years on the frame plus 2 years on parts, ahead of the Raptor’s 3-year warranty and matching the frame term on Xebex’s own cheaper models.

The Eco Air Cycle stands out for listing Peloton App compatibility and a documented console readout — air resistance level, time, distance, calories, RPM, watts, speed, and pulse, with compatibility for 5kHz chest belts — details the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 page does not spell out. If on-screen metrics and app compatibility matter more to you than frame weight, the Eco Air Cycle’s spec sheet gives you more to go on before buying.

The Raptor AirBike is the budget option at $995.00 and leans on a full-steel welded fan and reinforced base, with Fringe Sport’s page describing it as 20 lb heavier in fan and base steel than unnamed competing bikes. Fringe Sport also notes the Raptor ships with all assembly tools included and warns of a shipping delay of up to 4 days on this item due to its size, a detail not listed for any of the Xebex models in our product research.

Space and setup

Plan for a footprint of 144x66 cm (57x26 in) once the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 is assembled, per the Get RX’d listing. The full assembled dimensions, including handlebar height, run 144x66x139 cm (57x26x55 in).

The unit ships in a box measuring 145x39x96 cm (57x15x38 in) and weighing 89kg (196 lb), a notable jump from the 79kg (174 lb) assembled net weight because of packaging and crating. Confirm a delivery entrance — hallway, stairwell, or garage door — can clear a box roughly 57 in long and plan for two people to move a 196 lb crate safely; get help or use a hand truck rather than lifting it alone.

Get RX’d’s page does not list assembly time, tools included, or a step count for setup on this model. For comparison, Fringe Sport states the Raptor AirBike ships with all needed tools included so it can be assembled right away, a detail Get RX’d does not repeat for the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0. If included tools matter to your buying decision, confirm that detail with Get RX’d before ordering.

Once set up, leave clearance behind and to the sides of the bike for the moving handlebars and for mounting and dismounting safely. Place the bike on a hard, level surface or a dedicated mat; a flat, non-slip base under an air bike also protects flooring from vibration during hard intervals.

Warranty and support listed

Get RX’d lists a warranty of 5 years on the frame and 2 years on parts for the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0. That matches the frame term Get RX’d lists for the Eco Air Cycle and AirPlus Cycle Smart Connect, both of which state “5 year frame, 2 year parts/console” — note the wording difference, since those two models explicitly cover the console under the parts term while the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 listing does not spell out console coverage separately.

For comparison, Fringe Sport backs the Raptor AirBike with what its page calls a “best in class” 3-year warranty, shorter than any of the three Xebex frame terms in our product research. None of the pages in our product research lists a specific return window, restocking fee, or trial period for these bikes, so confirm current return policy directly with the retailer before ordering.

Get RX’d’s separate parts page shows the brand stocks individual replacement components — consoles, cranks, chains, pedals, bottom bracket sets, and even specialty tools like a crank puller and bottom bracket tool — which suggests a repair path exists outside of the stated warranty window, though the parts page does not list prices beyond a $0.00 placeholder for the listing itself.

Who should buy something else

Buyers on a tighter budget should look at the Raptor AirBike from Fringe Sport at $995.00, which costs $504 less than the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 (our calculation) and still lists a full-steel welded fan and a 3-year warranty, though its warranty term is two years shorter than the Xebex models in our product research.

Buyers who want a documented console with Peloton App compatibility should look at the Xebex Eco Air Cycle at $1,099.00, since its page lists specific on-screen metrics (resistance level, time, distance, calories, RPM, watts, speed, pulse) and 5kHz chest belt compatibility that the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 listing does not spell out.

Buyers who want Smart Connect features at a lower price point than the Expert Bike should look at the AirPlus Cycle Smart Connect at $1,249.00, which lists the same 5 year frame, 2 year parts/console warranty and Smart Connect wording, for $250 less (our calculation).

Anyone who needs a rider above 500 lb, or who needs a documented max user weight for a model other than the AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0, will not find that figure listed for the Eco Air Cycle, AirPlus Cycle Smart Connect, or Raptor AirBike in our product research — confirm with the maker directly if that is a deciding factor. Riders with joint pain who need a low-impact machine should also compare against non-air-resistance formats; see the linked guides on /best-exercise-bike/ and /what-is-a-recumbent-bike/ for other formats, and /best-air-bike/ for a wider air bike roundup. This article is based on maker specs, prices, and published product pages, not hands-on testing; for background on how these articles get built, see /how-we-research/.

Bottom line

The Xebex AirPlus Expert Bike 3.0 lists at $1,499.00, weighs 79kg (174 lb) net, carries a 227kg (500 lb) max user weight, and comes with a 5 year frame / 2 year parts warranty from Get RX’d — the heaviest frame, highest max user weight, and longest warranty term of the Xebex models in our product research. It suits lifters who want a stable air bike built around resistance levels 6-8 for HIIT and hill-climb intervals rather than easy steady-state riding.

Shoppers who want a lower price should compare it against the $995.00 Raptor AirBike or the $1,099.00 Xebex Eco Air Cycle; shoppers who want documented console metrics and app compatibility should start with the Eco Air Cycle’s spec sheet instead.
