Smooth 2.1 Elliptical Trainer

The Smooth 2.1 Elliptical is the base level elliptical in the Smooth line that consists of the Smooth CE Elliptical, Smooth 3.2 Elliptical, and Smooth 7.4 Elliptical.

Smooth fitness replaced it's older model ME elliptical to make room for the new line of ellipticals which starts with the Smooth 2.1.

Smooth made some good design and usability decisions with the 2.1 which include the use of a patented, ergonomic, pivoting foot pedal that helps keep your knee and hip movement in a natural plane of motion, thus greatly reducing the chance of injury to the user.

The new 2.1 elliptical also gets it's inner mechanics and fly wheel from the proven CE elliptical that translates into a liquidy smooth ride and quiet operation.

Smooth CE 2.1 Elliptical Key Benefits and Specs:

  • Electromagnetic Braking System
  • Heavy Gauge Oval Steel Frame
  • Nine Challenging Preset Programs
  • Sixteen Resistance Levels for forward and reverse motion
  • Tilt and Go Wheels for easy mobility
  • Ergonomic, Pivoting Foot Pedals
  • 300 Pound User Weight Capacity
  • Lifetime Frame and Electromagnetic Brake warranty

In all area of build quality and functional operation the new Smooth 2.1 Elliptical is a solid machine. You can tell that Smooth didn't cut any corners when making this elliptical.

You'll be hard pressed to find a better elliptical in this price range than the 2.1 - although I do recommend the Smooth 3.2 over this elliptical based on a number of upgrades and improvements that come with a relatively small increase in price (you can read my Smooth 3.2 Review here and judge for yourself).
