Features:
  • Adjustable CrossRamp targets key muscle groups. The ramp angle is fully adjustable from 15 to 40 degrees and moves up and down at the push of a button, allowing you to individually target and work all major lower body muscle groups. Different ramp positions engage different lower body muscle groups. When moving the ramp from the bottom to the top, you’ll feel various muscles engage and disengage--the lower positions activate all muscle groups, while the higher positions isolate glutes, quads, and calves. A variable stride length, from 21 to 24.5 inches, offers even greater diversity to your workout.
  • Track your target heart rate for fitness results. Easy-to-use handgrip sensors or wireless heart rate telemetry allow you to monitor your heart rate during workouts. Whether your desired result is improved cardio training or weight loss, SmartRate keeps you in your target zone--helping you achieve your fitness goals
  • Convertible Arms offer workout variety. Fixed or moving--with adaptable arm positions that easily adjust to offer Lower Body or Total Body exercise modes--the choice is yours. Only Precor offers this proprietary feature, which adds greater flexibility to your exercise regimen.

The display keeps your favorite things close at hand with areas for your water bottle, MP3 player and cell phone. A compartment on the front of the machine keeps your magazines in easy reach.
  • Customize your options to suit your workout. The options button allows you to customize your workouts by viewing additional metrics, entering weight and age, or selecting a personal workout goal--all of which leads to a more meaningful workout.
  • Continuous heart rate monitoring via touch sensors on the handlebars or via the included wireless Polar chest strap transmitter
  • Intuitive console is easy to read and adjust. Access QuickStart, programs and User IDs at the touch of a button. The Tap Control keypad is user-friendly with "quick key" functions.
