C2 is really an engineering masterpiece. Simple, works forever, cheap replaceable parts, anyone can do the maintenance after watching a YouTube vid.

Also super cool that you can upgrade the display/head unit w/o having to get a new rower.

It's also significantly cheaper than this machine and has exceptionally high re-sale value.

The C2 is the best machine I've ever purchased. Ive got 3.6 million lifetime meters on mine, and the most I've ever done to maintain it is wipe down the rail/rollers and put some 3-1 oil on the chain.

You are 100% right, the C2 is a tank. I have one too. But the C2 might not be right for everyone. I think we might be able to get more butts on rowers if we can make the experience more enjoyable for those who aren't motivated by the C2 and its current content.
