Product Highlights
American Ash Wood-Grain Frame
The frame is constructed with an American Ash wood-grain finish and a premium black accent, giving the S680 Timber a refined appearance that suits both home gym and studio environments. Transport wheels are included for easy repositioning.
Double-Sealed Twin Fluid Tank
The precision-aligned twin tank uses an updated impeller design that achieves 15% greater resistance than previous FDF horizontal models, with tighter tolerances and a more robust feel throughout the stroke.
5-Level Fluid Resistance
Five resistance levels allow users to adjust the intensity of each session, accommodating beginners through to more experienced rowers within the same machine.
Bluetooth Auto-Adjust Monitor (BAM)
The Interactive Performance Monitor (IPM) automatically detects and correlates the selected tank resistance level, displaying time, speed, distance, stroke rate, calories per hour, and watts in real time.
Heart Rate Compatible
The monitor is fitted with a heart rate receiver as standard and is compatible with all major HR chest belts, allowing heart rate data to be displayed alongside other performance metrics.
Self-Cleaning Seat Rail System
Seat rail brushes wipe away grit and debris with each glide, reducing wear on the rail and carriage and minimising maintenance requirements over time.
Contoured Seat and Ergonomic Handle
The contoured, textured seat provides a stable, non-slip rowing position, while the premium ergonomic handle is designed for a secure grip with minimal wrist and forearm strain.
Adjustable Footboard
Height-adjustable foot plates with secure heel captures allow users to dial in their foot position for a comfortable and efficient rowing stroke.
Durable Belt Drive with Active Recoil
A durable belt drive system with an active recoil mechanism provides a smooth, consistent pull and return throughout each stroke.
Vertical Storage and Optional Elevate Kit
The S680 Timber stores vertically to minimise floor space when not in use. An optional Elevate Kit is available separately for easier on/off access.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of resistance does the S680 Timber use?
The S680 Timber uses fluid resistance via a double-sealed, precision-aligned twin tank. The updated impeller design delivers 15% greater resistance than previous FDF horizontal models. Five resistance levels are available, selectable directly on the tank.
How does the Bluetooth Auto-Adjust Monitor work?
The Bluetooth Auto-Adjust Monitor (BAM) automatically detects the resistance level selected on the fluid tank and adjusts the console display accordingly. This means the monitor always reflects the correct resistance setting without manual input. You can also connect a compatible smart device via Bluetooth to review and analyse your training data.
Can the S680 Timber be stored vertically?
Yes. The S680 Timber supports vertical storage with a footprint of 545 mm x 520 mm when upright. Transport wheels are included to make repositioning straightforward. An optional Elevate Kit is available separately for easier on/off access.
Is the S680 Timber suitable for commercial use?
The S680 Timber is rated for residential and light commercial use. It is well-suited to small studios, wellness spaces, and multi-user home environments. Heavy commercial use (such as large gyms with continuous high-volume traffic) may fall outside the warranty terms. Check the manufacturer’s warranty documentation for specific use-case coverage.
What heart rate monitors are compatible?
The Interactive Performance Monitor is fitted with a heart rate receiver as standard and is compatible with all major HR chest belt brands. Wrist-based HR monitors are not confirmed as compatible — a chest belt is recommended for accurate heart rate display on the console.
What does the warranty cover?
The frame is covered for 5 years. The fluid tank and all mechanical and non-wearing components are covered for 2 years. Wearing components are covered for 1 year. Warranty applies to residential and light commercial use. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for full terms and conditions.
