Please note that there is the motor adjustable magnetic brake system built in with 15 resistance levels to work through and it gives you a comfortable impact free workout that you can enjoy.
  • There is the backlit control display screen which outlines 9 separate functions and of course the hand sensors to measure your pulse rate at all times. The stride length available here is 50cm and the flywheel weight comes in at 20kg.
  • Another great feature is the fact that it has the one hand fold away system for better storage and includes a series of lights to monitor your heart rate be it that you are working too slow (blue), just right (green) or if it is too high (red). It also has 8 training programmes included so you can eliminate any guesswork and get going a lot quicker.

The one main feature is the higher spec computer which is able to handle the memory from 4 separate users which is great for family type sessions. That way each person at home can have their fitness monitored and tracked when needed and comparisons can be made against one another.
  • This model can also be neatly folded away when not in use and has the heart rate light monitor to tell you if you are not working hard enough (blue), working just right (green) or if you are overworked (red). It can also be folded away easily and neatly with one hand.

  • Too large and heavy for some people to manage
