Sole E95S Elliptical – Review

If you are looking for a quality elliptical machine, you cannot go wrong with the Sole E95S. It is actually a step up from the E95 and has a higher price tag, but also offers a great deal of functionality. It has been designed for more frequent and heavier use and it comes with numerous adjustable features that support users of various sizes.

The Workout Experience

The first thing you need to know about the Sole E95S is that it uses magnetic resistance, which is smoother and quieter than other types of resistance. There are 20 different resistance levels available, which allows users to enjoy a challenging workout.

There are also 20 different levels of incline, which increases the training variables you have for engaging in a well-rounded workout. When you combine the digital resistance with incline, it can give you a low-impact and challenging workout.

Perhaps, one of the best features of the Sole E95S elliptical is the fact that it has a 24-inch stride. This is enough to accommodate users of all sizes. This means that even if you are 6 feet tall, you will have no trouble in using the machine to the fullest.

Footprint and Construction

A look at the Sole E95S shows that it is a front-drive elliptical and is one of the most versatile ones in the market. In terms of footprint, you should take note that it weighs about 275 pounds, which means it is quite heavy and not that easy to move. It also has a weight capacity of 400 pounds, which is higher than most elliptical trainers in the market.

The machine is very sturdy, thanks to the double-track system that has been used under the pedals, which also enables the higher capacity. There are three stabilizers that ground the frame, each of which are designed to keep the E95S balanced on the floor. The front one has wheels that can be used for moving the elliptical when needed, but you will require help due to the weight. The 30-pound flywheel adds the rest of the stability needed.

Ergonomics

The Sole E95S has versatile foot pedals, where the surface is textured and contoured to prevent your feet from slipping off. They are deliberately oversized to accommodate different sizes. They are also inward sloping to prevent any knee and ankle stress. It is also possible to shorten or lengthen them to match your stride.

There are stationary and multi-position moving handlebars on the Sole E95S. These come with heart rate sensors, along with buttons that can be used for adjusting the stride length. The moving handles offer a vertical grip that allows you to move easily.

Technology and other Features

There is a 13.3-inch touchscreen that comes with a lot of content. You can create custom workouts, or use the onboard workout programs. The Sole app can also be connected and there are also preloaded streaming apps, such as YouTube, Netflix, Spotify and Hulu that you can use.

The Sole E95s also comes with a wireless charging pad, speakers and fan. There is also an oversized cup holder and pulse grips are built into the stationary handles.
