SIXStar Certification
Derived from extensive biomechanics research and user panel testing, SIXstar Certification is a unique combination of the six key elements needed to deliver the smoothest, most natural elliptical feel available.

ZEROgap provides ideal pedal placement with zero distance between them to eliminate stress on hips and back
StraightUP body posture keeps your body upright for maximum comfort, minimal fatigue, and faster results
Low, 10-inch step-on height to make it safer and easier to get on and off this elliptical
Optimal handlebar spacing puts grips within ideal reach and distance for both small and large-framed users
The 18-inch FLATellipse foot path provides a more natural foot path, mimicking walking and running motions while minimizing fatigue
The large drive pulley ratio increases the angular momentum of the elliptical so you get the smoothest, most efficient motion possible

Sonic Surround Speakers
In addition to two quality speakers, the console includes an MP3 input for playing your favorite workout music, and a headphone output for privacy.

Made for iPod + Nike
Automatically save your workout data directly to your iPod� and track your progress on nikerunning.com. Dock and control your iPod directly from the console as you workout to your favorite playlists on the Sonic Surround speaker system.

Maxtone Arch Pedal
