Elliptical Trainer Reviews

Diamondback 1260Ef Elliptical Trainer

MSRP: $2,599

Bottom Line: This front drive elliptical machine is a visual knockoff of Octane but the feel is not there. Why Diamondback would waste their time making a unit like this when they have two excellent rear drive ellipticals is a mystery.

Pros:

• Nice electronics on this elliptical.
  
  
• Wide, comfortable pedals.

• The feel is not even close to their rear drive ellipticals.
  
  
• This look is really bad.
