How long will the Echelon EX Pro Connect last?
The Echelon EX Pro Connect Bike is a massive beast of a machine weighing a solid 165 lbs. when fully assembled. Users up to a 325 lb. capacity can readily workout on this indoor riding machine. It is built for moderate use and should last for quite a few years despite the limited 1-year parts and labor warranty offered by the manufacturer. Keep in mind simply unplugging after use along with a proper maintenance schedule and regular cleaning will increase the lifespan of this machine.
Brief Overview
Commercially rated, the Echelon EX Pro Connect Bike is a great fit for any retail or home setting and is a workhorse of a machine designed to suit a multitude of fitness levels. It offers all around comfort and a sleek design with extra niceties built into the sturdy frame. The EX Pro Connect even has shrouds that cover the flywheel and other parts to keep them free from debris and maintenance to a minimum.
Overall Quality
The Echelon EX Pro Connect Bike has a pleasing mixture of technology and functionality rolled into a commercial grade fitness machine.
