Anyone using the Xebex air rower, worth a look?

fwiw the monitor on mine is basic but does what it needs to. Distance, time, calories, strokes per minute.

it's not a cult it's just that c2 has 30 years of refinement and resale value. Enjoy taking 50% loss when you sell your xebex in 4 years

Resale value is another issue though. C2 stands out for how well they holds their value. 5 year old c2 for sale online could possibly be 80% of the price paid for new machine. Same cant be said for xebex though.

got one at my crossfit box and 15 different people use it daily. Been there for 4 years and no major issues at all

standard #40 chain i think, replaced mine last year with a generic one no issues

ok cool thats what i wanted to hear

xebex is pure air. They do make an air/magnetic hybrid model but the standard one OP is asking about is just air

interesting, whats the difference in feel between pure air and the hybrid version?

alright im just gonna go test some of these at a store. Internet opinions are useless anyway since half of you are crazy about c2 rowers and half of you wants to stick to budget rowers

smart move honestly. You have to find the one that you like the most out of these rowers since its very personal

magnetic rowers give you resistance at the catch of the row. When the flywheel isnt up to speed yet, you need that. With pure air rowers, there is no resistance until the fan moves the rower’s machine
