first degree fitness viking 2 fluid rower vs concept 2

With solid American Ash construction coupled with the power of an extremely natural stroke, it provides everything you need to achieve an effective, low impact cardio rowing experience. After narrowing it down to the WaterRower and the Concept2, I ended up choosing the WaterRower. It is most likely though that this population is not bothered about the accuracy of the power readings from the WaterRower, for which the design criteria of the WR for comfort, noise, aesthetics, etc. If price is a driving force, buy a used one, New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Let me save you a few hours of researching forums, articles and blogs. The movement of the blades in the tank churning water also gives rowers a pleasantly realistic sound effect. I could also compare all-out 2k efforts from a group of athletes both on the WR and the C2.

Unfortunately, I only have stream data (FIT/TCX) from the WaterRower (via my hacked RaspberryPi to read from the USB connection), as the C2 PM3/PM4/PM5 only records interval by interval summaries, rather than as a data stream (reminder to self, I must also hack the C2 …). There is in fact very little difference required in the WR to generate 200w or 230w. In the end, choosing between them depends on what you’re looking for in an indoor rower. I tried a water rower once and it sucked. This made sense, at least at the time, since I had plenty of opportunities of using C2s at the gym at work and in hotels whilst traveling. It really comes down to preference, because all of the First Degree machines are top-notch and offer an excellent on water feel. Don't assume there is no real reason why c2 is the standard. are more important. With this new feature, you can move from light resistance to a sweating sprint with the turn of the dial. If you’re thinking of buying, consider splurging for one of the higher end models for the added protection, particularly if there will be multiple users. The C2 is mechanic and noisy; the WR is fluid and silent (even a bit relaxing because of the sound of the water).

Finally, the seat on First Degree Fitness rowing machines is set at nearly the same height as a typical office task chair, making these the ideal indoor rower for anyone who has trouble getting up and down. Adjusting the dampening (volume of air or water moved per stroke) in the C2 takes 2 seconds; in the WR you need to add and remove water and takes minutes. The C2 shows a much more linear response, and in fact, I did not reach my LTHR (as expected), and there is no inflection point in the curve. They use a belt drive system that does away with pesky maintenance on chains, although there is the periodic changing or maintenance of the water in the tank. So as you can see there's a wide range of options for you. If you like the look of wood, go with one of the Horizontal Series rowing machines. Die Maße der Rudergeräte belaufen sich auf 213 cm Länge, 55 cm Breite und 54 cm Höhe. The result is plotted below and unsurprisingly it confirms the mechanical resistance limitation that the WaterRower has.
