Overview
Concept2 builds the RowErg on an aluminum monorail with a stainless steel track and an air-driven flywheel. The PM5 monitor shows workout data, and the frame splits into two parts for storage.
A thorough spec sheet, a device cradle and a split frame are the reasons to look at it for home training. The limitation is its length when assembled, which needs a dedicated floor space.
Who it's for
Home users and athletes tracking pace, watts or calories can set the intensity at the damper. Small apartments and people wanting a connected touchscreen console should check the size and monitor first.
Pros and cons
- PM5 performance monitor
- Device holder included
- Splits into two parts
- Wheels for transport
- Long footprint when assembled
- Damper, not preset levels
- Monitor is not a touchscreen
Performance notes
The flywheel spins against air drag, so the effort rises with how hard the user pulls. The damper changes how much air enters the housing, which changes how the stroke feels. The monitor draws power from the spinning flywheel to extend battery life.
