Description
Concept 2 RowErg | Black & Gold | PM5 Monitor | Under 1,000m — As New
$1,299 AUD (RRP $1,875 — save $576 on a machine with under 1,000 metres on the clock)
Under 1,000 metres. Let that sink in. The average committed home rower will cover that distance in a single 5-minute warm-up. This Concept 2 RowErg has had less use than most machines do in their first day. It is, for every practical purpose, a brand new machine — at a used price.
This isn’t just any RowErg either. The black and gold colourway makes it one of the sharpest-looking Concept 2 machines we’ve seen come through our doors. It photographs brilliantly, it will look exceptional in any home gym or studio setting, and it performs exactly as the specs promise — because it’s barely been touched.
We inspected it, serviced it, and test-rowed it. There was nothing to find. This machine is in factory condition.
A Machine That Needs No Introduction
The Concept 2 RowErg is the undisputed world standard for indoor rowing. It is used in Olympic training programs, professional sports conditioning, CrossFit competition preparation, HYROX training, university rowing programs, and home gyms across every continent. It has been the benchmark for over 40 years not because of marketing — but because the engineering is simply correct.
Air resistance means the machine responds instantly and honestly to your effort. Pull harder, the resistance increases. Ease off, it backs down. There are no resistance levels to set, no motor to manage, no mechanism to second-guess. Just a flywheel, a chain, and your output. It is the most direct and natural resistance system in any cardio machine made at any price.
The current-generation RowErg brings a refined frame, the modern black and gold aesthetic, and the PM5 monitor as standard — the same unit that ships on every new Concept 2 machine sold worldwide today.
PM5 Monitor — Everything You Need
The PM5 is Concept 2’s current performance monitor and one of the most capable data displays in any piece of fitness equipment at any price point. It tracks:
- Split time per 500m
- Pace
- Watts
- Calories per hour
- Stroke rate (strokes per minute)
- Heart rate (with compatible Bluetooth or ANT+ chest strap)
- Total and session distance
- Interval and programmed workout data
It connects wirelessly via both Bluetooth and ANT+ to Concept 2’s free ErgData app (iOS and Android), the Concept 2 online training logbook, and a broad ecosystem of third-party platforms: Garmin Connect, Polar Flow, Kinomap, Hydrow, and more. Race your previous splits, follow structured programs, auto-log every session, compete on global leaderboards. All of it available from day one.
What Our Inspection Covered
Even on a machine with under 1,000 metres, we go through the full process before it’s listed:
- Chain: factory-fresh, properly lubricated, no wear whatsoever
- Flywheel & Damper: spins freely, zero drag, damper clicks cleanly through all 10 settings
- Monorail: seat rolls perfectly end-to-end — smooth, silent, no resistance
- Seat: structurally perfect, foam in new condition, no compression or wear
- Handle & Bungee: grip is unmarked and firm, bungee recoil is crisp and immediate — new condition throughout
- Footrests: adjust smoothly through all positions, velcro straps clean and holding firmly
- Frame, Legs & Finish: no scratches, marks, or damage of any kind — consistent with sub-1,000m use
- PM5 Monitor: powers on instantly, all metrics functional, Bluetooth pairing confirmed
- Test Row: completed — machine performs exactly as a new unit should. Flawless.
The Black & Gold Colourway
It’s worth calling this out because it genuinely matters to a significant number of buyers. The black and gold finish on this RowErg is striking — the gold accent detailing on the monorail framing against the all-black body is a step above the standard black-only aesthetic. If your home gym or studio has any design consideration at all, this machine will look the part. It photographs beautifully, which matters when it’s sitting in your space every day.
Who Is This For?
This listing suits any buyer who wants a current-model Concept 2 RowErg in as-new condition and doesn’t want to pay full retail price. There is no compromise here — no worn components, no service history to guess at, no cosmetic issues to overlook. You are buying a machine that is functionally and visually brand new at a genuine discount.
It also suits buyers who want the gold/black colourway specifically — this is not a machine you’ll find everywhere, and under 1,000 metres means the next owner gets full use of it from essentially the first stroke.
