Cross trainer flywheel question

Duvetdays · 2020-04-22 14:01:59

Hi I’m looking at investing in a cross trainer and looking at buying guides a heavier flywheel seems to be better. This one below is advertised as a 20kg flywheel mass but then says 6kg flywheel later in the spec. Would anybody know if it would come with a 6kg but can be upgraded to 20kg maximum size? Sorry for the odd…

Hi

Sorry for the odd question but googling it I can’t find an answer on it.

The machine would be calibrated for the out of the box flywheel, so can't imagine it can be increased later.
The specs say it's a 6kg flywheel. The wouldn't be enough space inside for 20kg.

When ever it says 20kg, it says "flywheel mass". So they are using some terms incorrectly to make some sort of BS claim.
