STEPR Rower XL

About STEPR Rower XL

The STEPR Rower XL isn’t just another rower—it’s a reengineered classic built for smarter, smoother training. With a boat-inspired design and adaptive VPR™ resistance, this row erg delivers real feedback and biomechanical efficiency that helps you train longer, harder, and with more purpose. Whether you’re perfecting your technique or hammering through power intervals, the Rower XL adapts to your every move.

Experience Real-Time Adaptive Resistance With Every Stroke

The STEPR Rower XL responds instantly to your power output using VPR™, a patented resistance system that eliminates static drag and friction-based limitations. The harder you row, the more resistance it gives. The lighter your stroke, the smoother it feels. It’s dynamic rowing, the way it should be. From low-load overspeed work to all-out endurance grinds, this machine adjusts on the fly to match your exact effort level.

• 100+ gear-like resistance levels with real-time feedback
• VPR™ tech adapts dynamically to every pull
• No knobs, no lag—just scalable air resistance
• Train at your level and progress without hitting limits

Row Longer, Smoother, and Safer With Boat-Inspired Ergonomics

Unlike standard rowers, the Rower XL is designed to support your movement from the ground up. Its lower foot stretcher position mimics real-world rowing, improving posture and increasing stroke potential. This design helps reduce lower back strain, especially for tall, injured, or less flexible users. The result? A rowing experience that feels more natural, more powerful, and easier on your joints.

• Lower foot position = longer reach and better alignment
• Reduces back strain, ideal for rehab or taller athletes
• Promotes proper technique with smoother inertia
• Supports effective full-stroke engagement at all intensities

Push Power or Train Technique With One Machine

Need to improve your sprint catch timing? Or build strength endurance? The Rower XL does both. With exceptionally low drag options, you can focus on overspeed training to develop a fast, efficient catch phase. And when it’s time to push strength and endurance, the high-resistance ceiling delivers enough load to challenge even elite-level rowers. This is one machine with limitless training potential.

• Low-drag mode for overspeed and catch technique work
• High-load mode for strength-endurance training
• Perfect for skill work, rehab, and high-output intervals
• Designed for all fitness levels—from new to elite
