The NordicTrack CX 1055 makes an excellent choice with regards to value for one major reason. All of the NordicTrack elliptical device is make use of a patented technology created by a company known as Precor. This company also makes elliptical trainers and their patented technology is that of the incline ability. With the case of the NordicTrack CX 1055, you are basically getting a knockoff of one of the Precor designs. This particular model features the incline ramp up front with the elliptical drive wheel in the back. If anyone has had experience looking at Precor elliptical trainers, you’ll know that they are very expensive and when compared, you’ll find that this particular version makes an excellent choice because of its extremely low price tag.

As stated previously, the NordicTrack CX 1055 includes a rear drive the incline ramp up front. The resistance of the flywheel is given by a motorized brake which helps to achieve a smooth and low noise operation. One of the best benefits about this Nordictrack elliptical trainers, is the fact that it’s maximum weight capacity is 300 pounds. With many other elliptical trainers currently available having a max capacity of only 250 pounds, you’ll find that the vast majority of people especially those looking to lose weight are just plainly too heavy to make use of the other devices.

The included display on the NordicTrack CX 1055 is an LCD display that gives you the basic readout that you are in need of to ensure the most effective workout possible. There are a total of 12 different resistance levels to choose from and when combined with a 19 different user programs that you can select, you’ll find that there are a great number of intensities and varying workouts available on this exercise equipment. There’s also a built-in grip pulse sensor which will help you monitor your heart rate throughout your workout.

Perhaps one of the biggest downfalls of this particular model is the fact that when you make the purchase you are only getting a 90 day parts and labor warranty. By all means, this is one of the lowest warranty is currently available in the elliptical trainer market today. Then again though, with its relatively low price tag, you are in fact getting exactly what you are paying for. This is a very cheap elliptical trainer that offers an inclining ability. While it may be able to be considered a good value due to the features included you have to keep in mind that the warranty is relatively short.

This leads to the pros concerning the NordicTrack CX 1055 being that of the extremely low price and the wide availability. In the case of the console, you are getting very low quality and an even lower warranty than you thought possible in any elliptical trainer currently available.
