• Stylish Design - As desirable for its artistically minimalist frame as for its world-class rowing, the S1 in Stainless Steel (S4) was designed in WaterRower's Munich facility to stand as the brand's collectors' piece. Every detail complements the overall aesthetic and performance of this unparalleled machine. The frame is more than stylish; it holds up to 2,200 lbs and comes with WaterRower's standard 3-year commercial warranty to make a statement in high-end health clubs and homes alike.
• Performance Monitor - The Series 4 Performance Monitor has been designed to balance technical sophistication with user-friendliness. The monitor has six information and programming windows, six QuickSelection buttons, and three navigation buttons. It displays workout intensity, stroke rate, heart rate, zone bar, duration, and distance. Compatible with the optional WaterRower Heart Rate Chest Strap and Receiver, the Series 4 Performance Monitor will allow you to optimize your workout, achieve your exercise objectives, and encourage you to exercise regularly.
• Seat - The S1 in Stainless Steel (S4)'s ergonomically molded seat sits on two rails, with eight precision-crafted wheels for flawless rolling motion.
• Handle - The handle is made of aluminum for strength and lightness, with a tear-drop shape that fits comfortably into the palm of the hand to minimize wrist torque (a common cause of tendonitis). Because of its strength and lightness, the drive strap is high-density polyester webbing, guided by nylon pulleys. The drive strap does not wear and is maintenance-free, requiring no messy lubrication.
• Footrest - The footboard incorporates an all-new floating heel-rest design. The cup of the heel rest follows the heel as it rises from the footboard, providing stability and comfort from the beginning to end of each stroke. The heel-rest position is adjusted simply by pressing the central button to disengage the lock pins securing the footpads.
• Storage - The S1 in Stainless Steel (S4) does not fold; you can stand it vertically on its base for storage.
• Water Resistance - The benefit of a water resistance rower is that it most closely simulates a boat moving through water. Rowing resistance comes from the effect of fluid drag acting on the boat; in other words, resistance increases according to stroke rate. The patented WaterFlywheel emulates this naturally self-paced benefit of rowing. This is a workout with immediate benefits, regardless of your level of experience! Please also note that you can adjust the workout intensity by changing the amount of water in the tank. The more water, the higher the effort level required.
• Virtually Indestructible Tank - The tank of the S1 in Stainless Steel (S4) is made from polycarbonate, one of the strongest plastics available. It is virtually indestructible. The tank is sealed and can be filled with municipal water via a small opening closed by a stopper. This water typically contains enough chlorine to remain clear for some time. After exposure to light, the chlorine will degrade; the chlorine tablets included free with purchase should be added periodically.
• Dual Rails - Dual rails are featured on all WaterRower models. While attractive, they are designed to absorb sound and vibration, making for a smooth and silent stroke.
• Spragg Clutch - The key to the S1 in Stainless Steel (S4)'s smooth stroke is its Spragg clutch, which engages instantaneously. Unlike other clutches that produce a jerky or jarring impact somewhere during the stroke, the Spragg clutch has no lag in pickup, which means no lower back pain for you.
