Concept 2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine (RRP $1,260)
The Model E is the “big daddy” and comes packed with advanced features that professional and serious rowers will LOVE. The first and most obvious difference is its size. Its bigger than the Model D and stands much higher off the ground. The model E was designed with durability in mind and is the most robust rower money can buy. Its virtually corrosion resistant and is double powder coated with an additional coating to resist even the heaviest use. It has a Nickel plated chain which ensures a lifetime of smooth rowing.
The Model E is a commercial grade indoor rower and is perfect for health clubs and professionals who need all the extra features and improved stability and endurance. It comes standard with an advanced PM4 Performance Monitor and a Suunto heart rate monitor. It allows you to record and use a wealth of training data and you can use online.
One of the best features of the Model E is its ability to link up machines (the track is sold separately) which is awesome for duel rowing and professional training. It also allows you to calibrate and synchronize the monitors for team training or even for racing against each other.
Although the Model E is perfect for professionals and heavy duty usage, the higher setup makes it perfect for people with back problems and mobility issues. Although it has a ton of extra features I think its slightly over priced. A lot of the extra features are stuff you can do with any standard heart rate monitor and although the more robust finish will make it more durable the model D has proven itself to be robust.
If you can afford it and you have the space for it, buy the Model E but don’t think it will give you a superior workout. It has exactly the same motion and basic functionality and will give you exactly the same workout as the Model D.
