Xebex Air Plus Rower 2.0

Overview

The Xebex Air Plus Rower 2.0 answers a common complaint about pure air rowers, that resistance depends entirely on how hard you pull, by layering a magnetic brake on top of the fan flywheel. The result is a hybrid where the air component delivers the dynamic, wind-like feel athletes love while the magnetic tension lets you set a repeatable baseline difficulty, useful for steady-state training and for users who want consistent effort without sprinting. A damper still controls the airflow, and the upgraded console reports splits, watts, distance, stroke rate and intervals with Bluetooth connectivity for heart-rate straps and app syncing. The frame is the same heavy-gauge steel that Xebex builds its functional gear from, rated for high user weights and rolling daily use, with a long rail and a seat that tracks smoothly. Because half the resistance is magnetic, it runs a touch quieter than the brand's straight air rower, though hard pulls still spin the fan audibly. It does not fold flat, and there is no entertainment screen, keeping the focus on training rather than media. For garage gyms that want air-rower dynamics with the option of locked-in magnetic resistance, the Air Plus 2.0 is a versatile, well-built choice.
