The sole e35 has all the features of the sole e25 with a few extras thrown in. The added benefits of this trainer is a that it has a 30 pound fly fly wheel, programmable workouts and a 5 year warranty on parts and a 2 year warranty on labor.

The one disadvantage of this trainer is that people under 150 pounds find the resistance a bit difficult especially at the higher levels.
This trainer is priced at $1300.00.

Consumers who have used this product say that it is easy to put together with clear and easy directions, quiet to use and like the programmable work out feature.

To get the most out of either of these machines, start at the lowest resistance and work your way up through the resistance levels as your stamina increases. They should be used at a minimum of 3-4 times a week for the best results.

Both of these trainers are excellent products for their price range. The added features in the e35 may well make it worth the $300.00 to those who can afford it.
