About the AIRhub The AIRhub is an on-road Ergo, but also so much more. All performance cyclists have Ergo’s for resistance training, with many having more than one. The AIRhub replaces the riders front wheel and is wirelessly connected to their heart rate monitor and smart phone so that the rider can “dial-up” various resistance and performance levels while training. Essentially, the AIRhub turns flat roads into mountain courses, saving loads of time, with greater safety.
