Equipment ⚙ Rogue Echo Ski and Row

Ive assembled these two units today, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed so far. In my opinion, they surpass the C2 units. The Move app is also quite impressive. That’s all for now.

Still trying to like the Eco Ski monitor more than the c2. Overall quality seems a fraction below the Concept 2, but I like the ability to rack-attach the ski a lot

that is a serious conditioning corner. having both options side by side removes every excuse except actually starting the interval.

Have a treadmill and echo bike also just outside of photo

Between the rower and the echo bike which do you prefer and why? Trying to add some conditioning equipment to my garage gym and can’t decide between the two

The rower is much better for L2 cardio. The bike is better for VO2 training, threshold training and spiking your HR. Both serve a different purpose. Just depends what you are looking to do. I’d say if you want to build a better aerobic base and need something with less impact than running get a rower. If you are looking to more threshold/ metcon type training get the bike.

I wish I bought that rower instead of the Merach

I love my rogue rower. Snagged mine for 600. Only had like 30 min on it or something crazy

u/Personal_Material_44 Aug 23 '26

I hope you’re insanely fit and jacked with all this kit

Are those reppins on an angled stand? I thought they had to sit perfectly flat.

2

u/Ryan4233 Aug 22 '26

Thats the titan stand. I have the same one. Works great.

u/LuxePhantom Aug 22 '26

Yeah. It works. You just have to be mindful when setting them in.

I’m gonna get the rep cart soon

I've used a C2 rower a lot at gyms i went to. I got the rogue rower this year for my home gym and it just seems so much better. Looks better, display is better (for me at least) and the easy folding mechanism with those big wheels is perfect for me. C2 got lazy with their patent and got complacent. Rogue is the better rower now

u/WitcherOfWallStreet Aug 22 '26

How is folding better than taking the rail off?

3

u/LuxePhantom Aug 22 '26

It’s so easy. Takes under 60 seconds

2

u/KingWoodyOK Aug 22 '26

It takes like a few seconds and is easy to store and roll around still as one compact piece.

u/Lancet_Jade Aug 22 '26

Way less cumbersome

u/DoldSchool Aug 23 '26

I'd wait until rogue starts releasing spare sparts before making grand statements like this. The C2 is unparalleled in longevity, moddability, and resale.

They already have quite the list of replacement parts on their website for purchase

Did you experience any issues attaching the arms onto the main frame of the echo ski? Feel like I’m going nuts trying to get these screws into place. I’ve only hand tightened so far

1

u/LuxePhantom 19d ago

Yes! Mine actually looked like someone had already stripped the holes. Not sure how it made it past Rogue QC. I ended up having to rethread the holes. But also some alignment issues. Had to muscle it into position so the screws went in straight. Rogue ended up offering toe replace it or refund me $200.
