Sole E95 Elliptical Trainer (2011 Model) Review
The Sole E95 is the best of Sole’s elliptical trainers. Some of the major pros include the adjustable power incline, the strong 30lb flywheel, and many others!
Features:
30lb Flywheel: The 30lb flywheel is heavier than the average in-home elliptical trainer’s flywheel. The heavier the wheel; the smoother the stride. This is a huge benefit! The stride is perfect length for us, and when combined with the flywheel, it’s completely quiet.
Speakers and Fan: Although not the greatest for either, it’s definitely nice having both of them readily available. We were able to have our iPod playing through the speakers, which allowed entertainment, but couldn’t have it super loud due to speaker quality.
20” stride: The Sole E95’s stride was long and smooth, much like you would find in a much more expensive Precor machine. We didn’t notice any hard jerking motions that would be damaging to the knees, like you may find in other machines.
Adjustable Foot Pedals: Users can adjust the foot pedals to give less strain on the feet and ankles—a definite benefit! Not a lot of machines have this feature, but it’s great for anyone who has had any ankle problems. Also, the 2 degree inward slope of the foot pedals helps reduce strain on feet and knees.
Handlebar Controls: You can control the resistance with buttons that are easily accessible on the handlebars. Not having to look at the display to find the resistance buttons definitely helps with not getting out of rhythm on your workout. Some people complained the handlebars were too thick, but we think it just takes some getting used to. There are also stationary handlebars for those who prefer them.
LCD Display: The 9-inch blue LCD display is designed to be user friendly. It displays distance, time, incline, resistance, calories burned, and paced. This display is one of the more detailed ones out there for a machine of it’s class!

In Our Opinion: The Sole E95 provided us with an intense workout thanks to how sturdy the machine is. Obviously, our favorite feature on the machine is the heavy 30lb flywheel which allowed us to have great, smooth, and quiet strides. Overall, the 20” stride was okay for all of us(5”4’-6”1’). The handlebar controls are one of those nice features that isn’t a necessity, but we loved it! Overall, we would recommend this machine to anyone who is looking for an intense workout with comfort. Plus, you can’t beat the warranty!
