Elliptical Trainer Reviews

Diamondback 960Ef Elliptical Trainer

MSRP: $1,999

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:

• Warranty.

• The 18" stride is not a good idea here.
  
  
• This look is really bad.
