ELECT TRIDE
The X5 features SelectStride Technology which provides the user with the ability to adjust the stride length to any increment
between 18 and 24 inches (46 cm to 61 cm). By adjusting the stride length, you can personalize the motion to your body or
to your specific workout. For example, a longer stride length may feel the most comfortable and natural to taller individuals.
Similarly, you may prefer a shorter stride setting when performing a slower paced workout while the longer stride setting
may feel best when doing a faster, running-style pace. You can change the stride length setting to add variety to your work-
out.
