Stainless steel, the wide grips work for me, the semi cone shape contours perfectly in my hands, I can easily do arm raises with open palms so I don't over tax my grip.

Good wrench, but a better bottle opener, only works for 5/8" bolts so it is limited, the flat design does make it easy to pocket it, ideal for bartenders.

Good attachment for the Shorty bar, I've only used them for lat pull downs and landmines. Need to explore other possible uses for them.

Light weight, but I wish they were aluminum, like the Force USA collars. Also I have put them on with one hand, but need two hands to remove them.

I have the V1, single set of handles, no high, low. Color, build are good, sleek design. If I didn't buy for cheap on FB marketplace, I would say its not worth the initial asking price.

Good wind guard, I have a V2, so had to modify it to make it work.

I fully inherited this bike after the 3 other guys I split the cost with moved away. Unfortunately the crank arms kept slipping off because it was the original teeth bell crank. I contacted Concept 2 and they sent my a free crank arm upgrade kit, free of charge (known problem, great customer service). The bike is my favorite piece of cardio equipment, it's as intense or easy steady state cardio as you want it to be.

Annoyed that I had to buy this when it should have been included with the original bench. Seems like a serious miss on initial production.
