Proteus PAR-5500 Rower

Product information: Proteus PAR-5500 Rower

The Proteus PAR-5500 is the successor of the great PAR-5000 rower. The main difference is the fact that the PAR-5500 is equipped with a computer containing more features than the computer of the PAR-5000. These features include heart rate control and watt control programs. The PAR-5500 can truly be considered as a high-quality ergometer.

The construction of the PAR-5500 is based on the design of the PAR-5000 and makes use of both air and magnetic resistance. By combining these 2 resistance systems, you are able to enjoy the feeling of the air resistance and enjoy the linear resistance of the magnetic system. It offers a greater maximum resistance and a smoother adjustable resistance.

The ergonomic seat has been attached in a unique way and moves through the underside of the rail. This prevents dust to damage the construction and takes take for a smooth movement on the rowing machine. The footpedals are adjustable in 5 different levels, in order to optimize your position on the rowing machine. The high quality and ergonomic design of the PAR-5500 makes it perfectly suitable for endurance training. During rowing, you can direct the built-in fan towards your body in order to cool you off.

The most important part to pay attention to, is the extensive computer of the PAR-5500. The modern computer is equipped with 6 preset programs, 4 user programs, 4 heart rate control programs and 1 watt control program. During the 6 preset programs, the computer will automatically increase and decrease the resistance according to the program profiles that are displayed on the LCD-display. The 4 USER programs offer the opportunity to create your very own program and to store personal data into the computers memory. The 4 heart rate control programs allow you to exercise within the correct target heart rate zone. The computer will increase and decrease the resistance automatically, in order to keep your hear rate within the correct target heart rate zone.

For the more experienced rowers among us there is the watt control program. You are able to set-up a preferable watt level before exercising. During the watt control program, the computer will automatically decrease and increase the resistance level according to your speed. The resistance will be adjusted automatically in order to keep your training on level of the preset watt level continuously.

The lightweight, aluminum frame can be folded up very easily, in order to create more space when the rowing machine is not being used. You are able to move the rower to any desirable area by making use of the transport wheels that are located at the underside of the rower.
