help Concept2 Rower FAQ
What is the difference between the Concept2 Model D and Model E rowers?
The Concept2 Model D sits at a standard 14-inch seat height, while the Model E features a higher 20-inch seat to make getting on and off the machine easier. Both indoor rowing machines utilize the exact same PM5 Performance Monitor and flywheel design to track your workout data.
How does the PM5 monitor on a Concept2 Rower track my performance?
The PM5 Performance Monitor calculates your pace, watts, and calories by precisely measuring the deceleration of the flywheel during your stroke. It also supports wireless heart rate monitoring via Bluetooth and ANT+ to accurately track your pulse during a workout.
How do I adjust the damper setting on a Concept2 to mimic rowing on water?
The damper lever on the side of the flywheel cage adjusts the airflow into the machine, functioning similarly to bicycle gearing rather than directly changing the physical resistance. For the feel of a standard racing shell, most coaches recommend setting the damper between 3 and 5 to achieve a drag factor around 100 to 120.
How difficult is it to assemble a Concept2 RowErg out of the box?
Concept2 rowers ship mostly disassembled, but the process is straightforward and requires only a few basic tools to attach the front and back legs. Most users can completely assemble the machine, including installing the PM5 monitor, in under 30 minutes.
