The DKN XC-160i is a high-quality, stylish front drive elliptical cross trainer that delivers a great all over body workout. The heavy 20kg (44lbs) flywheel ensures that the action is smooth and quiet in both directions while the 20’’(50.8cm) stride and a Q factor (the distance between the foot plates) of just 3.34" (8.5cm) means the XC-160i provides an outstanding level of comfort during your workout whilst simultaneously ensuring the risk of injury is minimised due to the ergonomic design.
The XC-160i is manufactured to exacting standards and features twin slide rails designed to work and endure like a semi-commercial elliptical, ensuring that it will withstand the demands placed upon it by even the fittest of users. 32 levels of electronically controlled magnetic resistance guarantee a quiet, responsive and seriously challenging workout.
There are 12 scalable preset programmes divided into 3 main categories of beginner, intermediate and advanced. The scalability of these programmes means that it's easy to turn up the heat on any given workout, so that a beginner programme can swiftly be made very hard and an advanced programme can be ramped up to the sort of difficulty that only entrants of competitions like Tough Mudder would enjoy!
In addition to the presets there are also target heart rate (for use with chest strap - sold separately), manual and user-programmable watt workouts available, providing a wide array of training options for users of all fitness levels. The inclusion of 4 built-in user profiles also allows multiple users to enter their personal data (sex, age, weight, height) to extrapolate more accurate training data such as calorie burn.
Live training data including speed, distance, RPM, watt, pulse, theoritcal calorie expenditure and time is displayed on the 5" (12.7cm) high contrast, two-colour, back-lit, LCD screen. The console is also adjustable so regardless of your height, monitoring your training data and staying in touch with your progress is easy and confortable.
The XC-160i also benefits from the addition of an integrated Bluetooth receiver allowing you to connect your tablet or smartphone making it compatible with a variety of apps, offering multiple interactive training options. The addition of a universal tablet holder let's you place your tablet directly in front of you and is ideal for either interactive training or watching your favourite programmes while you work up a sweat.
DKN have been producing quality home fitness machines for over 20 years and the XC-160i sits comfortably in the company of previous best sellers while taking a leading edge in fitness training through the implementation of the latest technology. A fine machine that wouldn't look out of place in many gyms.
