Precor EFX 5.23 Ellipticalprecor efx 5.23 elliptical trainer

MSRP: $4,399

Bottom Line: Rear drive is a big plus, but coupled with the front incline ramp, this unit provides a very unnatural bunny-hop feel for any user over 5'4" in height. Don't even consider an elliptical without upper body handles to help get your heart rate up.
