Delivery:
The delivery by forwarding took place very quickly and consisted of two parcels weighing 76 kg and 26 kg.
Assembly:
The tools required for assembly is included. Naturally, however, recommended the use of its own quality tools. (Requires be 10, 13 keys, 6 u. 8-Allen and a Phillips-head screwdriver).
Thanks to the exemplary instructions and labeling of screws, there was ambiguity in almost any mounting step. All parts had excellent fit. Thus, the device has been installed without stress in about 90 minutes. Use of force with a hammer was not necessary in my device. Only when connecting the power supply for the cockpit, I have an unnecessarily long time have to look in the manual and on the device, according to the connector. (It is located in the center, front of the flywheel housing).
Floor unevenness can be compensated for more than six adjustable feet. Incomprehensible I found the lack of a small amount of silicone spray which then has a week to instructions before the first use and be applied to the sliding tubes. Who wants to use the device directly so should advance obtain a silicone spray. If in doubt about the required ceiling height exist; For your own body size must be added about 32 cm. (At Bald, an Iroquois needs a few cm more :)
Use / haptics
The very sturdy design and the relatively high weight of the analyzer to convey a feeling of security during use. No rattle, creak or wiggle. The training noise is limited to a very unobtrusive whir of the flywheel, which is in any case, at least at present still, after a few kilometers running distance drowned out by my breathing sound ;-). With the considerable increment of 58 cm and the pleasant low slope of 19 cm, I have a reasonable sense of running and not feel to use 1.86 cm size only a stepper. In favor of high stability, the device can not be folded. Thanks to the transport rollers at the front end but is easily possible a correction of the pitch.
The instrument panel automatically turns on when motion of the flywheel, and after about 4 minutes without moving again. The pulse sensors are located on the middle handle croissants and have me work right away. But as I would rather use the swing bars during training, I have ordered the same to me to recommend chest strap (Pulsar T-34), who also works perfectly. The easy to read and intuitive cockpit I have constantly all relevant values for me in mind.
Conclusion:
Except for the lack of silicone spray bothers me only the compulsion to have the device within 14 days register at Maxxus and the fact that the advertised 5-year warranty will only be granted if the equipment is serviced every 18 months with costs. (Man confesses to the assembly, but not the maintenance?) Without maintenance, there is only the statutory warranty of 2 years. Nevertheless, I am delighted with the quality and would buy the device at any time.
