An era has ended: Rogue Fitness has positioned its Echo Rower as the official rowing machine of the CrossFit Games, pushing out Concept2, the longtime standard in CrossFit. With this shift, Rogue makes a bold statement, solidifying its equipment as central to the CrossFit universe.
A New Standard for Competition Equipment
The Rogue Echo Rower was built specifically for the demands of competition, with durability and precision at its core. To ensure the machine met all competition standards, Rogue collaborated with independent engineering firm S-E-A to verify all performance metrics, guaranteeing that the Echo Rower could be used in direct competition alongside the renowned Concept2 RowErg. This emphasis on accuracy and consistency has established the Echo Rower as the primary rowing machine for the CrossFit Games, the Rogue Invitational, and countless Rogue Challenges, where scores and times are measured and compared.
Technical Highlights and Performance
Inspired by the rugged design of the Echo Bike, the Echo Rower emphasizes durability and quality. Constructed with an aluminum frame and premium materials, it’s designed to withstand the intense demands of training facilities and competitions worldwide. The LCD console, with Bluetooth and ANT+ compatibility, allows users to program workouts, track performance, and monitor metrics in real time. This makes the Echo Rower a versatile choice, ideal for competition, but equally suited for home gyms and commercial fitness centers.
A Rival for Concept2
Concept2’s exit from CrossFit is noteworthy. For years, the Concept2 RowErg was the trusted name in the community, known for its reliable performance and long-standing association with CrossFit. With Rogue’s entry, a new chapter begins, positioning the Echo Rower as the go-to machine for CrossFit while establishing it as a worthy competitor to the Concept2 RowErg due to its precision and consistent outputs.
Conclusion
Rogue Fitness has set a new standard in CrossFit rowing with the Echo Rower. Its accuracy, durability, and versatility make it the perfect choice for competition, while it also meets the daily needs of training facilities worldwide. More than just a piece of fitness equipment, the Echo Rower represents the innovation and technological evolution driving the modern CrossFit sport forward.
