Head is a well-known Austrian sports brand, founded by Howard · Founded in 1950, Head's core products such as tennis rackets and skiing and diving equipment are industry leaders, while fitness products have only been introduced to the market in recent years. The operator of this series of products in China is Zhejiang Hanna Health Technology Co., Ltd., which is a company specializing in the production and processing of treadmills, exercise bikes, massage chairs, commercial fitness equipment and other products, and provides OEM OEM and ODM services. Therefore, although Head is a foreign brand, its rowing machine industry experience is still shallow, and there is still a significant gap between the workmanship of the overall product and that of brands such as Concept 2 and WaterRower, which have been rooted for decades.
 
In terms of product layout, Haide basically gave up the relatively low-end hydraulic rowing machine market, and mainly focused on three types: log water resistance, wind resistance and magnetic control. Although Hyde's rowing machine types are not as comprehensive as those of Sunny and Stamina, its popularity on domestic e-commerce platforms is relatively high, and its sales performance is outstanding with the advantage of high cost performance. In addition, Hyde rowing machines have a relatively clear series division, covering entry-level to professional level, taking into account consumer groups with different needs in terms of price and sports experience.
 
The 1-level ECO series includes H-R105 and R115 models, both of which are monorail reluctance rowing machines, with prices ranging from 1799 to 2999 yuan. The series is in line with the basic configuration of the economical entry-level model, which requires manual 8 or 16 steps of resistor adjustment. The electronic screen can only record exercise time, calories, total times, etc., and has a single function. Compared with Sunny's similar products, Hyde's rowing machine in this series has a net weight of 29 to 33kg, which is lighter, but the price is slightly more expensive about two or three hundred yuan. In addition, Hyde's rope is made of widened silk webbing, which is slightly lacking in tension, while Sunny has a simulated scull.
 
The 5-level Fit series is a luxury household type, with three models: R630, H585 and R5203, with prices ranging from 2999 to 4858 yuan. The weight of the flywheel of the R630 has been increased to 10kg, while that of the R520 has been maintained at 6kg of the Class 1 ECO series, but the tempered glass material has been changed, and the track has been changed from single track to double track, making the movement more stable and smooth. For the tension device part, increase the strength of the silk webbing or switch to belt transmission. In addition, the heartbeat recovery function is added, which can be connected to the heart rate chest strap device and the exclusive APP, and there are also 12 built-in sports modes, which significantly improves the experience.
 
The 7-level Pro series and the 9-level Power series can be used in public places such as gyms and clubs, and there are only two models, namely H-R725 with pure wind resistance, and H-588R, which has 16 sections of electronically controlled resistance, and the price is 4999 yuan. The series adopts an aluminum alloy monorail design, and the chain cable is used as a tension device, which has sufficient strength and durability. It is equipped with a quick-release rack lock mechanism, which is convenient to be disassembled into two parts for storage, and the ability monitor PM5 can be adjusted to the angle of the panel, which can be linked with the smart APP, and the playability is high.
 
WR689 and WR999 are water-resistance rowing machines, priced at 2399 to 3580 yuan. WR689 is a single-track structure with an aluminum frame, while WR999 is a double-track structure with a solid wood frame. Compared with the North American walnut, cherry, North American red oak, ash and ash wood selected for 10,000-yuan products such as WaterRower and First Degree Fitness, the solid torch pine imported from Brazil selected by Hyde is much more affordable, and the workmanship is average, the water tank seal is fixed with screws, which is easy to bend and deform, and the oxidation resistance of the paddle is slightly poor.
