Icon Health & Fitness, the maker of Proform, has done market research that has told them that many people, particularly those of the female persuasion, like to have ellipticals that have a narrow stance. Icon has come up with a solution that they call the Razor. Beyond that, it is a decent elliptical that has benefited from the overall increase in quality that Icon has decided to put into their machines. Just remember that these units will not hold up to heavy use, but will do just fine for the average Joe.
