Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine - The Rower’s Favorite
The Concept2 Model E Indoor rowing machine is like the ultimate rowing machine! Like its
earlier model, the extremely tough and robust design makes it a favorite among rowers from all
over the world. With the increase in seat height, the addition of the highly sophisticated
performance monitors and a bit of extra price this is indeed an upgraded model.
This brand has set the standards of the industry in air resistance rowers from a very long time
and this latest model has lived up to those standards again. So today we are going to take an in
depth looks at the Concept2 Model E Indoor rowing machine.
Resistance Mechanism
The Concept2 Model E uses an air resistance mechanism; this kind of mechanism provides a
resistance which is very close to the real water resistance provided. That is why these kinds of
rowers are very popular among professionals. Resistance on these kinds of rower’s works when
the rower’s handle is pulled to row which in return spins the spinning flywheel. The difficulty
increases when the handle is pulled harder which causes more air resistance. This machine not
just allows setting the difficulty level but also allows the user to set the feel of the rower. It is
like changing the gears of a bike. To set this option one needs to apply the settings on the damper
level on the flywheel housing.
Display Panel
The Concept2 Model E rower comes with the latest monitor panel- PM5. Not just a fitness
monitor but it also works as a physician, statistician, entertainer and a competitor. It provides
a host of feature including 4 pre set games, the vital statistics of the workout and the option to
compete against one’s own past records. It also provides a coach mode where the machine itself
will help one to attain perfect workout goals and techniques. This mini-computer might look
simple and pretty but carries a load of options and power under the hood.
The PM5 keeps a track of the distance covered, the pace, and the calories. It also keeps track
of the stroke powers. It comes with an internal memory which can save up to 1000 work out
details. One can choose from the previously set routines or define the modes themselves to
workout according to their own needs.
Build Factor
As this a commercial model, this thing is extremely robust and strong. The brand is well known
for the long lasting models they make and this latest model is just an addition to this well
respected legacy. The frame is made of an extremely strong aluminum I-beam with stainless
steel seat rail and is coated with a clear material for extra lasting. Both legs of the device are
made out of one piece and are made of welded steel to provide high stability.
