Horizon Fitness Elliptical trainer Syros 3.0

Elliptical Bike Horizon Fitness Syros 3.0 - Full, smooth and connected cardioWork your whole body, with no strain on your jointsThe elliptical bike Horizon Fitness Syros 3.0 is designed for those who want to enjoy a complete, effective, and joint-friendly cardio workout at home. Combining a quiet and smooth rear-drive design, electromagnetic resistance with 20 levels of resistance, full Bluetooth FTMS connectivity, and a compact footprint, the Syros 3.0 fits seamlessly into any living space. Whether you aim for weight loss, improving your endurance, or simply maintaining regular physical activity, it adapts to your pace and goals with great versatility.Why choose an elliptical machine?The elliptical is one of the most complete cardio machines available. Unlike a treadmill, it engages both the lower body (quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves) and the upper body (arms, shoulders, back, chest) through movable arm handles, all in a perfectly continuous elliptical motion - no impact, no jarring, and no suspension moment.This closed-loop motion eliminates the ground impact phases associated with running, drastically reducing stress on the knees, ankles, and hips. The elliptical is therefore particularly recommended for individuals with joint issues, those in rehab, seniors, or anyone looking to protect their joints over the long term while maintaining a high level of cardio effort.Rear-drive architecture: fluidity and compactnessThe Syros 3.0 adopts a rear-drive architecture, meaning the flywheel is positioned at the back of the machine. This design has several advantages over front-drive models (front flywheel):More natural movement: the elliptical path is closer to a natural running stride, for a more intuitive and comfortable motionReduced footprint: the machine is shorter in length, making it easier to fit into home spacesIncreased stability: a lower centre of gravity improves overall balance during exerciseQuiet operation: the rear positioning of the flywheel limits vibrations and noise transmitted to the floorElectromagnetic resistance: 20 levels, absolute silenceThe electromagnetic resistance system of the Syros 3.0 generates resistance without mechanical contact between parts. The result is completely silent pedalling, with remarkable smoothness, without jolts or friction noise - a considerable advantage for training early in the morning, in the evening, or in an apartment.The 20 resistance levels, adjustable via quick adjustment keys directly on the moving handles, allow for fine and continuous progression. You can maintain your cadence and adjust the intensity while fully engaged, without ever letting go of the handles or interrupting your motion. From gentle recovery sessions at level 1 to maximum effort at level 20, the range of work is wide enough to accommodate all profiles.The 7 kg flywheel ensures sufficient inertia to maintain steady and even pedalling throughout the session, without abrupt changes between strides.Stride length of 40 cm: a natural movement for everyoneThe 40 cm stride length of the Syros 3.0 is designed to replicate a natural step amplitude, suitable for the vast majority of body types. A stride that is too short constrains movement and forces an unnatural posture; a stride that is too long can lead to excessive hip extension. At 40 cm, the Syros 3.0 offers an ergonomic compromise that suits both shorter and taller users.Adjustable pedals in 3 positions allow for even more fine-tuning of the riding position and adapting the foot angle to your body shape and personal comfort. The pedal spacing of 23 cm reduces the strain on the abductors and replicates a natural walking or running position.The raised height of 13 cm makes it easier to step over and onto the machine, even for users with reduced mobility.10 built-in programmes for all objectivesThe Syros 3.0 comes with 10 workout programmes covering a wide range of goals:Manual: complete freedom, manage resistance in real timeIntervals: alternating effort/recovery to maximise calorie burnWeight loss: maintain in the lipid zone for optimal fat burningRolling (hilly): variations in resistance simulating uneven terrainCadence: a programme focused on maintaining a target pedalling frequencyDistance goal: guided session to reach a defined mileageCalorie goal: guided session to reach a specified calorie burnChallenge: progressive challenge programme to push your limitsHeart rate zone (THR Zone): training guided by your target heart rateCustom: create your own session profileBluetooth FTMS connectivity: @Zone, Zwift, Kinomap and moreThe Syros 3.0 is equipped with Bluetooth FTMS (Fitness Machine Service Profile), the most open protocol on the market, ensuring wide compatibility with popular fitness apps:@Zone (Horizon): virtual journeys to destinations worldwide with Virtual Active (automatic resistance adjustment based on terrain), HIIT Sprint 8 sessions, real-time personalised coachingZwift: multiplayer races and training in a 3D virtual world - motivation through competition and a global communityKinomap: train on real roads filmed worldwide, with resistance adaptation to the terrain profileViewfit, Apple Health, Google Fit and other FTMS compatible appsNo mandatory subscription: the Syros 3.0 works perfectly with its 10 built-in programmes without connection, and Bluetooth connectivity enriches the experience according to your preferences.5.5" backlit LCD console: your metrics in real timeThe 5.5-inch backlit LCD console of the Syros 3.0 displays all essential training data in real time: time, distance, speed, cadence (RPM), calories, heart rate and resistance level. The display is clear and readable even during vigorous efforts, without needing to stop to check your metrics.Quick resistance selection keys are accessible directly from the moving handles, allowing you to increase or decrease a level without leaving the arm handles - an appreciated ergonomics during interval sessions where transitions need to be quick.Heart rate monitoringThe Syros 3.0 includes contact heart rate sensors on the handles for continuous heart rate tracking without additional accessories. It is also compatible with Bluetooth heart rate monitors (chest strap not included) for even more accurate measurement during intense sessions or heart rate target guided programmes.Tablet holder and practical storageA tablet or smartphone holder is integrated into the console, allowing you to position your device in front of you to follow streaming classes, listen to music, check your metrics from a fitness app, or watch video content while working out. The built-in transport wheels make it easy to move the machine between rooms or store it after the session.Compact and suitable for home spacesWith assembled dimensions of 135.9 x 66 x 163 cm and a weight of 47 kg, the Syros 3.0 is one of the most compact ellipticals in its category. It easily finds its place in a living room, bedroom, office, or dedicated space without interfering with movement or requiring specific arrangements.Technical specificationsStride length: 40 cmFlywheel: 7 kgBraking system: ElectromagneticResistance levels: 20 (computer-controlled)Built-in programmes: 10Console: 5.5" backlit LCDData displayedTraining data: Time, distance, speed, RPM, calories, HR, resistanceHR measurement: Sensors on handles + compatible with HR BluetoothConnectivity: Bluetooth FTMSCompatible apps: @Zone, Zwift, Kinomap, Viewfit + FTMS appsPedals: Adjustable in 3 positionsPedal spacing: 23 cmRaised height: 13 cmTablet holder: YesTransport wheels: YesEnergy-saving mode: Yes (after 15 minutes of inactivity)Max user weight: 130 kgProduct weight: 47 kgDimensions (L x W x H): 135.9 x 66 x 163 cm (for home use)Who is the Horizon Fitness Syros 3.0 made for?The Syros 3.0 caters to a very broad audience: beginners looking to start a gentle and regular cardio activity, individuals suffering from joint pain or in rehab, experienced athletes wanting to vary their no-impact cardio training, or families seeking a versatile machine usable by multiple profiles.
