The Schwinn 420 elliptical trainer has 16 levels of eddy current brake resistance. This is the best type of resistance system available for elliptical trainers, an extremely rare find in the under-$1,000 price range.
Workouts
The Schwinn 420 has eight preprogrammed workouts that adjust the resistance automatically. It also has a manual-control mode, a fitness test mode and a user-customizable workout.
Specs
The front-drive Schwinn 420 elliptical has a fixed 18-inch stride and a maximum user weight limit of 300 lbs. It measures 62 inches long by 26 inches wide and 71 inches high.
Price
As of August 2010, the Schwinn 420 has an MSRP of $800 when purchased directly from the manufacturer. But selling fitness equipment at a steep, constant discount is common practice in the fitness industry, so you're likely to find it for $600 or less.
Warranty
The Schwinn 420 comes with a five-year frame warranty and one year of coverage for parts and electronics. Wear parts are covered by a 90-day warranty.
