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.

Ridiculously heavy and over built, but it's the cost of making it incredibly sturdy. I'm a fan of the ladder system (VS the pop pin system), but don't like the uncage ladder and pinch point hazard. Also for the price I had to buy an attachment to make it stand upright. Also for the price with NO decline option is annoying. Waiting for a good deal to pop up on FB marketplace for a Manta Ray and I'll upgrade.

It's a love, hate relationship, good build quality, wish they included the turf tires, and the cage for the fan wheel is a bit flimsy. Not built in the USA. But compared to the Assault Bike that I use to have to fix frequently it's vastly superior. Will probably upgrade the monitor to the rower monitor.

Good overall, I have the stainless steel pins and composite rollers. Even with the great build quality they are seriously overpriced, especially once you upgraded to the stainless steel pins. I bought them used for $250, which is about what the value should be. I used this on my Monster Squat rack and it's so tight to adjust when removing and repositioning. Annoyingly tight.

Great storage solution, I installed them together with my Wall Control peg board to create on single storage area for cable and rack attachments.

Great collars, using mostly for Olympic lifting, they on the pricey side for barbell collars, probably cause they are USA made.
