Concept2 Model E

description Concept2 Model E Overview

While the Model D is the gold standard, the Model E offers a more accessible entry point into Concept2's renowned rowing technology. It uses air resistance, which is effectively adjustable by controlling the damper setting. It's incredibly durable and provides accurate performance data. The lack of a built-in monitor is a drawback, requiring a separate device for data tracking.

It's a fantastic machine for serious rowers and those focused on performance.

help Concept2 Model E FAQ

How is the Concept2 Model E different from the Model D?

The Concept2 Model E had a higher seat position and a taller frame than the Model D, making it easier to get on and off. Concept2 later simplified its lineup under the RowErg name, with standard and tall leg options.

Does the Concept2 Model E use magnetic or air resistance?

It uses air resistance through a flywheel, like the Model D and RowErg. The damper changes airflow feel, but the harder you row, the more resistance the flywheel produces.

What monitor came with the Concept2 Model E?

Many Model E machines shipped with Concept2's PM5 performance monitor in later years. The PM5 tracks pace, watts, distance, stroke rate, and can connect to apps through Bluetooth or ANT+.

Why do CrossFit gyms use Concept2 rowers so often?

Concept2 rowers are durable, easy to maintain, and produce standardized performance numbers across machines. That makes them useful for workouts like 500-meter repeats, 2K tests, and CrossFit benchmark pieces.
