Trials of the newly developed Streetrower Blade yielded a significant improvement on early results with previous models - 3 minutes 57 seconds for the Olympic rowing distance. Competitors racing flat out in the finals of the Metropolitan Regatta at Eton College's Dorney Lake were left for dead as the Blade cruised past eights and quadruple sculls. While the Blade comes with 20" wheels as standard, the higher gearing of a 26" rear wheel gives the Blade an edge on a straight 2000m course. Indoor Rowing World Champion Graham Benton is waiting in the wings to push the Blade to its limit using his 6'8" frame and pedigree on the Concept 2. The Blade is available to Streetrower customers from £999 inc. VAT and supersedes the Streetrower Sport - more photos and details will be posted on the website in the near future.
