description Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine Overview
The Concept2 Model E builds upon the legendary Model D, offering a more refined experience with a quieter damper and improved display. Air resistance provides a natural feel, and the adjustable damper allows for varying levels of difficulty. While not as quiet as magnetic systems, the Model E's durability and performance are unmatched. The seat can be less comfortable for some users.
help Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine FAQ
How is the Concept2 Model E different from the Model D?
The Concept2 Model E sits about six inches higher off the floor than the Model D, making it easier to get on and off for users with mobility concerns. It also comes standard with the PM5 monitor and has a powder-coated steel frame with a longer chain, whereas the Model D typically ships with the PM5 but at a lower seat height and lighter overall weight.
How loud is the Concept2 Model E compared to magnetic rowing machines?
The Model E uses Concept2's air-resistance flywheel, which produces a noticeable whooshing sound that increases with your rowing intensity. Magnetic rowers like those from Hydrow or Ergatta are significantly quieter because they use electromagnetic braking, so if noise is a critical factor the Model E will be louder during hard efforts.
What is the seat height on the Concept2 Model E?
The Concept2 Model E seat sits approximately 20 inches (about 51 cm) off the floor at the front of the rail. This is notably higher than the Model D's roughly 14-inch seat height, which makes mounting and dismounting easier for taller users or those with knee or back issues.
Does the Concept2 Model E connect to apps like ErgData or Zwift?
The Model E ships with the PM5 performance monitor, which supports Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity. You can connect it directly to Concept2's free ErgData app, Zwift for virtual rowing, or apps like Asensei for guided workouts.
