Get the exhilarating and aerobic benefits of Nordic skiing simulated indoors with the Concept2 SkiErg machine.

Whether you want to practice your skiing technique or just looking for a great workout, the Concept2 SkiErg can help to develop strength and endurance, exercising the legs, arms and core.

Nordic skiing is well-known for delivering a tough workout so you can be sure the SkiErg will deliver the results you’re looking for.

The Concept2 SkiErg can be used for double pole skiing as well as the classic alternating arm technique so you can practice both techniques of Nordic skiing.

SkiErg Concept2 Flywheel
& strapless handles

The SkiErg features strapless handles that are ergonomically designed for comfort while providing a secure grip.  The handles are designed so that they won’t absorb sweat, ensuring they stay dry in high use settings.

You can control the feel of your ski pulling action and the resistance you feel (simulating flat terrain or an uphill climb) by adjusting the airflow to the SkiErg’s flywheel with the spiral damper, putting you in total control of your workout.

The SkiErg utilizes the same flywheel technology as the ever-popular Concept2 Rowers so you can be assured of its tried and tested performance, responding to your efforts on every pull.

The SkiErg comes with Concept2’s advanced PM5 Performance Monitor that enables you to track your workout progress and compare your data scores with others.  The PM5 is straightforward and easy to use and offers a selection of preset workouts as well as tracking stats like pace, distance, speed, watts, calories burned.  It also offers wireless connectivity with ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart for wireless heart-rate monitoring.

You can manage, backup and analyze your workout data with Concept2’s free Utility software – use the USB LogBook or Concept2 LogCard.  Additional statistics are also provided by the free ErgData app.  In addition, there’s a Venue Race App that enables you to link 2+ PM5s for indoor racing.

The SkiErg comes with hardware to mount the machine to a wall or alternatively you can purchase an optional floor stand (also available as a bundle with the SkiErg) to make the SkiErg free-standing and easy to relocate.

Suitable for both home and commercial use, the durable Concept2 SkiErg is solidly built and comes with a limited 2-year and 5-year warranty.

Comparing Concept2 Model E versus Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine, What's the Difference?

The Concept2 Model E and Model D Indoor Rowing Machines are both impressive rowing machines, built for long-lasting durability with their high quality construction, and suitable for both home and gym use.

The Concept2 Model E is considered to be the luxury Indoor Rowing Machine and as such costs a little more than the Model D but what are you getting for the extra money and is it worth paying the extra cash out for?

Previously, the Concept2 Model D and Model E Indoor Rowing Machine were supplied with different Performance Monitors, but the good news is that they both now feature the same upgraded PM5 Monitor.

Both rowing machines feature a Spiral Damper that easily allows you adjust the airflow to the flywheel, enabling you to change the feel of the stroke to suit your own preferences.  The flywheel itself is designed to minimize noise whilst still maximizing a smooth feel.

Both the Concept2 Model E and D rowing machines feature an aluminium monorail and stainless steel track which allows for smooth gliding of the seat.  Both rowing machines feature adjustable foot-rests and an ergonomic handle for natural arm and hand positions.

Both rowing machines are low maintenance, featuring a nickel-plated chain which allows for longer periods between oiling.

The main difference between the Concept2 Model E and Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machines is in the seat height.  The Concept2 Model E seat is higher off the ground than the Model D rowing machine, with the Model E seat being 20” high, whilst the Model D is 14” high.  The higher seat of the Model E makes it easier to get on and off the rowing machine.

The Concept2 Model E is also considered to be more of a solid stable rowing machine over the Model D.  This is due to the design of the legs of the machine – the Model E features one-piece leg design for the front and rear of the machine, whereas the Model D features 2-piece leg design.

There’s so much more to these rowing machines!  Let’s take a look at the features and differences in detail between the Concept2 Model E and Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machines to help you decide which one is best for you:

WaterRower versus Concept2 Rowing Machine, How do they Compare?

Both the WaterRower and the Concept2 are top quality indoor rowing machines for people serious about rowing and getting fit. The Concept2 has a more modern look to it, while the WaterRower is handcrafted in solid wood and looks more like a piece of furniture you would have in your home rather than a piece of exercise equipment.

The WaterRower and the Concept2 not only look different but work in completely different ways too.  The WaterRower is considered to be more of a rowing simulator rather than a rowing machine as it is designed to emulate the movement of a boat paddling down the river.

The WaterRower features a “flywheel” that consists of 2 paddles that sit in an enclosed water tank, and offers unlimited resistance in the sense that the faster you paddle, the higher the drag will be increased.  This self-regulating resistance system eliminates the need for setting or adjusting the resistance throughout the workout as with other types of rowing machines.  This system is designed to give a smooth and virtually silent workout with even strokes to spread the work more evenly over your muscles groups and without the pronounced jerky movement that is common with other types of rowing machines.

In addition, the WaterRower is virtually maintenance free, with no messy lubrication that is normally required with other types of rowing machines.  In fact, the only maintenance necessary with the WaterRower is the purification of the water, which is easily done by adding water purification tablets (included) to the water.

The Concept2 on the other hand, does require some maintenance, although minimal.  The Concept2 is a more traditional mechanical rowing machine, featuring a Spiral Damper which allows you to adjust the airflow to the flywheel to change the feel of the stroke.  The Concept2 features a nickel-plated chain which although is low maintenance, does require occasional oiling.  The flywheel itself is designed to minimize noise whilst maximizing a smooth operation.

The WaterRower takes up less floor space than the Concept2, with the WaterRower measuring around 1ft (12 inches) shorter in length than the Concept2.

The WaterRower Oxbridge and the Concept2 both come with a Performance Monitor to track your workout progress in varying forms.  (See full features & specifications below.)
