Comparing the XR, XER, XIR, & XUR Matrix Fitness Consoles - Key Differences + Features

Posted by Fitness Edge Exercise Equipment - 30+ Years in the Fitness Industry on 12th Jan 2024

There are now four console options for the Home Cardio Line from Matrix Fitness, and Fitness Edge Exercise Equipment is here to help explain the differences between each console as clearly and concisely as possible! First a couple of notes regarding the consoles in general: 

1.) This new generation of consoles are backwards compatible (except for the XUR Console). Meaning if you own an older generation frame, you can upgrade your old console to one of the new XR, XER, or XIR Consoles. 

2.) The most premium console option, the XUR console, is only on 50 series or above cardio. (Not compatible with T30, A30, U30 etc.)
