Overview
Imagine all of the training power and benefits of the Speed Coach XL1, PLUS accurate heart rate on a large clear display with Time, Speed, Distance and Rate. Rowing a target heart rate workout has never been easier. Ensure maximum training effectiveness by rowing at the desired intensity. Because heart rate is also stored in memory with your performance data, you can look back and see your improvements in fitness, and evaluate race strategies for effectiveness.
The XL2 heart rate receiver mounts on the deck next to your seat tracks, and ensures accurate, pulse readings even for very tall rowers. And yes, you can use the Speed Coach wiring already in your boat, and that PolarR-compatible chest belt transmitter you already own.
With the Speed Coach interface and software, you can upload and store your heart rate history together with the rest of your performance data.
Note: At present, NK can only guarantee interference-free readings for XL heart rate monitors when there is only ONE chest-belt transmitter within a 6-foot range of the heart rate sensor at any time. As a result, it is possible to use two monitors in a pair or double by placing the stroke seat sensor close to the stern end of the seat deck, and the bow-seat sensor close to the bow end of the deck. In larger shells, the monitors and sensors will need to be at least two seats apart (i.e. at 2 and 4 seats, not at 2 and 3 seats). NK is continuing to develop technology that will permit use in multiple contiguous seats. Check here for updates as the release date approaches.
