CONCEPT2 - Concept2 got its start in 1976 in the back of a bread truck when Dick and Pete Dreissigacker, fresh from Olympic training, started making composite racing oars, now the oar of choice among the world's rowers. They went on to create the Concept2 Indoor Rower, now used worldwide by Olympic athletes, cardiac rehab patients and every caliber of rower in between.  Based in Morrisville, Vermont, USA Concept2 have grown to over 50 employees, and the product line includes the Indoor Rower, the DYNO, and Dreissigacker Racing Oars. Concept 2 D and E Type Rower - Pictured above is the new Model E Concept2 Indoor Rower and PM4 Monitor.
