Can't you give it a rest? - We all know you don't like the C2 handle design. You've made your point repeatedly; and now you're just quoting yourself....
That's because noone wants to talk about that again and again.

To Sakly and p-b82:

I had never noticed before that Concept 2 endorses the use of the Sport Trak handle for adaptive rowers. My question therefore, which has never been asked on this forum, is this: What are the features that distinguish the Sport Trak handle from the C2 stock handle, and why do those features make it so suitable for adaptive rowing?

I described those features. Here they are again: 1) The Sport Trak handle ensures a bio-mechanically correct alignment of the hands, wrists, and forearms, throughout the stroke. 2) The Sport Trak handle enables rotation of the hands from horizontal through to vertical.

So here is a question for both of you: Why do you think that a rowing ergometer handle that includes features 1) and 2) be used only by adaptive rowers?

Good point 👍

Probably non-adaptive rowers don't need these attributes. I never felt to need them, fully fine with the stock handle, never faced any issue with them. But that's me and my opinion.
