QUICK REVIEW
Detailed Overview
This trainer is built with NordicTrack’s Silent Magnetic Resistance ™ Technology for an incredibly quiet, smooth and natural feel, and the front drive system is designed with a 20 pound flywheel.
This particular trainer also boasts a number of customizable options with an adjustable incline, stride and pedals. First, users can adjust the incline with the push of just one button, from 0 to 20 degrees, using the new power ramp feature that allows users to choose the desired muscle group to target and set the incline accordingly. Next, the stride adjusts from 18 to 20 inches, also with the touch of a button, and finally, the oversized pedals are also adjustable, with three options to choose from for optimum heel toe angle, depending on your preferences.
Coming to the console, the 11.9 features a 7 inch we-enabled, full-color touchscreen display that is equipped with iFit® technology, and features 32 built-in workout apps (10 performance, 11 calorie and 11 intensity programs). OneTouch™ Controls allow users to quickly adjust the incline or resistance level and the Digital Quick Incline feature is ideal for interval training. This model offers 24 digital resistance levels so it’s easy to target multiple muscle groups using these innovative console controls. To take your heart rate, use the DualCardio Grip™ heart rate monitors built into the stationary handlebars, or do it wirelessly using the Bluetooth enabled iFit® wireless strap. And when it comes to the audio offerings, this model features two 2 inch speakers and an iPod compatible audio center.
When it comes to warranty protection, NordicTrack offers a lifetime warranty on the frame, three years on parts and one year on labor.
