help Concept2 Model D Rower FAQ
Is the Concept2 Model D the same as the RowErg?
Concept2 renamed the Model D as the RowErg in the early 2020s. The standard RowErg keeps the familiar air-resistance design, chain drive, and PM5 performance monitor associated with the Model D.
Why do CrossFit and rowing clubs use Concept2 rowers?
Concept2 machines are consistent, durable, and easy to compare across athletes because the Performance Monitor reports pace, watts, calories, and meters in a standardized way. That is why they are common in boathouses, gyms, and competitions.
What does the PM5 monitor show on a Concept2 rower?
The PM5 can show stroke rate, split pace, watts, elapsed time, meters, and calories. It also connects with Concept2's ErgData app, which makes it useful for logging workouts and comparing results.
How loud is the Concept2 Model D compared with magnetic rowers?
The Model D or RowErg uses a fan flywheel, so it is louder than most magnetic-resistance rowers. The upside is that the resistance responds naturally to how hard you pull, which is one reason rowers prefer it for training.
