Concept2 Model E
The luxury machine of the indoor rower world.

Overview
The Model E offers presence and durability with its 20 inch frame height, nickel-plated chain, and double powder coat with glossy finish. From a practical standpoint, the higher frame means easier on-and-off for those with tired knees or mobility considerations. The nickel-plated chain (also featured on the Model D) requires less-frequent oiling. The finish protects against scratches.
Aesthetically, the Model E is the luxury machine of the indoor rower world. Solid and sleek in light gray or black, the Model E will hold its own in a fitness center, your home gym, or the living area of your midtown loft. Best of all, it does all of this while providing the unparalleled full-body workout of our other indoor rowers.
If you’re familiar with our equipment, the Model E is everything you’ve come to expect in a Concept2 Indoor Rower and more. If you’re trying us for the first time, the Model E will satisfy even the most discriminating buyers.
The Model E is available in two colors: light gray or black.

Performance Monitor 5The Performance Monitor is what sets Concept2 Indoor Rowers apart from other training devices, and every Model E includes our most advanced monitor, the PM5. Sophisticated yet easy to use, the PM5 provides accurate, comparable data for every row. A backlight increases visibility, compatibility with USB flash drives makes storing your workout data a breeze, and you can wirelessly monitor your heart rate. The longer monitor arm on the Model E keeps it all within easy reach. |
Flywheel and DamperOur indoor rowers respond to your effort on every stroke, so you are in full control of your exertion and resistance at all times. The spiral damper allows you to quickly adjust the airflow to the flywheel, so you can change the feel of the stroke to suit your preference. The flywheel design minimizes noise while maximizing a smooth feel. |
Storage and MobilityThe Model E features a quick-release (no tools required!) framelock mechanism, so you can easily separate the machine into two pieces for storage. Caster wheels on the front foot allow you to roll the fully-assembled machine into position. |
Seat HeightThe Model E stands tall in a crowd. You’ll have the comfort and ease of getting on a machine that’s at chair height. The 20 inch (50.8 centimeter) seat height is particularly helpful if your knees don’t bend like they used to, if you’ll be getting on and off the indoor rower from a wheelchair, or if you just prefer sitting higher off the ground. To support the 20 inch frame height, we went with a one-piece leg design for both the front and rear legs. The end result? Stability and a sure, solid feel. |

I purchased this rower on a Saturday and it was at my house on Wednesday. I had the unit unboxed and assembled and using it within 15 minutes. Great machine, easy to assemble and provides a great work out.

I love having this at home. I was a CrossFit trainer for years so I know firsthand the durability of these machines. I highly recommend also getting the pad. Takes pressure off just the right spots.
I ordered this on a Friday night and it arrived the following Wednesday. I use it daily and I don’t think I’ll ever sell it.

Just got it..Like everything about it, at my age, 74, I’m needing to start off slowly. Every 10 minutes, I’m taking 3-4 mins to rest with a total for now of 30 minutes. I do like my menus choice to do a timed workout. Well built, may outlast me

I’m always amazed at how FAST Rogue ships out their products. I live about 5 hours from the headquarters and ordered this product Tuesday at night and it was at my house Thursday morning. UNBELIEVABLE turn around time!!!

So far so good! I spent the last year walking and doing HIIT on a stair climber. I’ve seen good progress and wanted to include my upper body so a rowerg seemed like an obvious choice. Rogue was great, shipping went smoothly, price was perfectly fair, and it’s really nice having a brand new top of the line rower at home where I can use it whenever I want instead of planning my day around going to the gym with my fingers crossed hoping it is available.

I’m not exactly sure what I expected as far as assembly was concerned. Literally easiest possible setup imaginable. I was set up to row in less than 2 minutes. I have used the concept 2 before at a gym and love it. This one connected to my Garmin watch and I was rowing in less than 5 minutes. It’s a great full body workout!
Carmel –
Exactly as advertised! Smooth, realistic, and a great workout

I’ve been eyeing this rower for a year or so. I’ve used them plenty of times over the years in gyms just to switch up my cardio routine but a recent joint injury required a low impact solution.
I’ve only had it a week and put 24000 meters on it and it performs as expected. It came with a two and five year warranty and US made. It shipped from OH to TX UPS ground in 4 days. I suspect it will outlast my desire to row. Glad I finally pulled the trigger.

I love this rowing machine and enjoyed rowing 3 days this week before strength training. I was going to wait to purchase this until fall when we’re in a new home. So I don’t really have enough room but it stands up easily in my office. I need to figure out the display better and am using Just Row after not finding a workout I had entered. My coach recommended this rower.
Roger –
I have not set it up yet buts just like the ones at the gym so I’m sure it’ll be fantastic!
Tim –
Love the rower. It came quickly. This is my third one so far for my gym. I’m all rogue in my home gym!!
Jen M –
As a first time rower, I wasn’t sure what to expect when purchasing. I’ve always heard great things about Concept 2 and debated between this and the Peloton Row. I’m glad I chose this one. It works great. The assembly was super easy and I started my first row within 20 minutes. It slides smoothly and the fan is not too loud. It’s very well constructed and sturdy. The monitor works great and connects seamlessly to my HR monitor and to the Peloton app. I’ve been using it a couple of weeks now, and I’m already about a minute faster per 500m than my very first row. Great cardio workout!
Bruno –
Excellent machine. Our members love it. For many people, an much enjoyable alternative to cardio.
varane –
One week in and I’m very impressed! This is an excellent rower and a great value in my opinion. Set up was simple, and the workouts have been great!
Mavid –
Rogue had the best price by far and the service couldn’t get any better. I’ve used these rowers before so I knew what I was getting, I wouldn’t buy anything else.
Renzo –
Very happy with my Erg package fast shipping

I am a 72 year old female. After using a rowing machine at the gym for a couple months, I decided to purchase one for my home, and I got the Concept2. It came packaged so nicely, and I was able to put it together myself in about 20 minutes. The first day I played around and rowed for 10 minutes 5 separate times. On day 2, I rowed a 20 minute session and two 10 minute sessions. On day 3, I started three 20 minute sessions. I worked on perfecting my form. Now I am rowing over 5 miles a day consistently. I no longer feel guilt watching football on the sofa all weekend because I get up three different times and row for 20 minutes. It is great having my own machine. If you are older and wondering if you should get this machine, go for it … you will not be sorry. It is a great machine!

Excellent build quality, excellent workout, nothing bad to say at all
Bob L –
Smooth, commercial grade rower. (I also have the Versaclimber, together this is a full body workout in a small space). Low impact, great value!
Kalie –
my rowing team has these, so I decided to buy one myself and has stayed in great shape even after heavy use. I need to stay in shape to be able to row and this has been a very good way to do so; even if I didn’t I would still use this it’s a great product and works very well.
K.son –
Easy to assemble (only eight screws). I was rowing in 5 minutes after I opened the box. Rower is smooth and intuitive to use. Readout, menu, and workouts are easy to navigate. Highly recommend.
Amine –
I received my rowing machine less than 48 hours after I ordered it. The packaging is exceptional, and assembly was a breeze. I am a 72 yr old female, and I was able to assemble it in 20 minutes. I did have to look at a YouTube video to see how to assemble both pieces together, but it was simple after I saw that you have to lift the pieces up. I used it twice today, and I just love it!

I got this for Christmas it’s an awesome addition to my home gym came quickly and easy to assemble but overall a very nice piece of equipment

I have been using the concept two for approximately twenty years, ten in the gym and ten that I have owned. I row five days a week, every week. It is extremely durable and is much better than four other rowers I have used and enjoyed. I am 86 years of age and in excellent health and I truly believe I owe much of same to my concept two.
