Estimate calories burned on an Assault Bike from body weight, workout time, and intensity, or calculate the time needed to reach a calorie target.
Assault Bike Calories Formula
Use the basic formula when you choose an effort level:
C = BW × M × F
- C = calories burned
- BW = body weight
- M = workout time in minutes
- F = assault bike factor based on effort level
Advanced mode uses average watts from the bike:
C = M × (0.055 × W + 0.035 × BWkg)
- W = average watts
- BWkg = body weight in kilograms
Assault Bike Effort Factors
| Effort | Factor per lb per min | Factor per kg per min | Ride feel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 0.044 | 0.096 | Steady pace, easy breathing |
| Moderate | 0.060 | 0.131 | Strong pace, breathing harder |
| Hard | 0.079 | 0.175 | Tough sustained work |
| Very hard | 0.099 | 0.219 | Near-max push |
Calories Burned on an Assault Bike per 10 Minutes
| Body Weight | Easy | Moderate | Hard | Very Hard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 lb | 66 kcal | 90 kcal | 119 kcal | 149 kcal |
| 180 lb | 79 kcal | 108 kcal | 142 kcal | 178 kcal |
| 220 lb | 97 kcal | 132 kcal | 174 kcal | 218 kcal |
What Is an Assault Bike?
An assault bike is a fan bike that trains both the upper body and lower body at the same time. As your cadence rises, resistance rises too, which is why assault bikes are common in intervals, conditioning pieces, and short high-output finishers.
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter your body weight and workout time.
- Choose Basic for effort level or Advanced for average watts.
- Click Calculate to see calories burned and calories per minute.
Example
A 180 lb rider doing 20 minutes at a hard effort uses a factor of 0.079.
C = 180 × 20 × 0.079 = 284.4
That ride burns 284.4 calories.
