The seat design is the product of several years of experimentation and field testing. It is contoured to maximize comfort for the serious rower. The seat glides on a roller system which is designed for stability and durability.

The handle is solid maple with molded rubber grips. The chain and return mechanism are entirely housed in the front portion of the rower and come fully assembled and installed.

The Electronic Performance Monitor is mounted on a moveable arm which brings it within close view and easy reach of the person rowing. The monitor itself can be tilted to afford maximum visibility in a wide range of lighting conditions.

The weighted flywheel simulates the momentum of a boat. The wind drag created by the specially designed fan acts just like the resistance of water. The housing protects the flywheel and is engineered to keep fan noise to a minimum.

The monorail is an I beam aluminium extrusion which combines lightness and strength with a stainless steel rolling surface for the seat. Four members of the Concept II Design Team (total weight of over 600lbs.) demonstrate the strength of the monorail connection.

The monorail is joined to the front half of the Indoor Rower with a unique self locking system and can be detached easily for storage. The rower then fits easily within 28" x 35" of floor space. The monorail piece weighs about 17 pounds. The front end weighs about 44 pounds and has built in casters for easy moving.

The Concept II Flex Foot^TM provides a stable platform to work from, while allowing for the normal tendency of the heel to lift at the catch. The heel cups stay with your foot as it flexes during the rowing stroke. In addition, the new design is easily adjustable to fit a wide range of foot sizes.

A wind damper allows you to change the feel of your "boat", from a fast racing shell to a heavy, slow rowboat.
