Toorx Professional AVANT FWX-6850 Row

The Toorx Professional AVANT FWX-6850 Row is a plate loaded seated row machine for targeted back training, with your biceps as a supporting muscle group. You pull the handles towards you from a seated position via a lever mechanism with an independent, diverging pulling movement, with a maximum load of 300 kg. With a height of 130 cm the machine stays low, so it also fits well in a home gym with a lower ceiling.

Toorx Professional AVANT FWX-6850 Row at a glance

• Diverging rowing movement: the handles move apart as you pull, for targeted and controlled training of your back and biceps.
• Independent lever arms: both sides move separately, so your stronger side cannot take over the work.
• Plate loaded up to 300 kg: you load the lever with weight plates you buy yourself and increase the load step by step.
• Seat height in 13 positions: you match the movement to your own body height.
• Firm pads: high-density foam with PU upholstery and a fully padded back pad for a stable posture.
• Heavy steel frame: rectangular steel tubes of 50 x 80 mm with a 3 mm wall thickness with a double, scratch-resistant powder coating.

Rowing with a diverging lever

On the FWX-6850 you sit upright and pull two handles towards you. The lever mechanism guides them along a diverging path, with the handles moving apart as you pull. Your back muscles do most of the work, while your biceps assist. Because both arms move independently, you pull equally hard on the left and right and notice straight away when one side lags behind. This keeps the movement clean, even during heavy sets.

Comfort and adjustment

The seat height of the FWX-6850 adjusts in 13 positions, so both shorter and taller users have the handles at the right height. The pads are made of high-density foam with PU upholstery, with a fully padded back pad. This keeps you stable and focused on the muscles you are training, even during the last heavy reps of a set.

Construction and load capacity

The frame is built from heavy rectangular steel tubes of 50 x 80 mm with a 3 mm wall thickness. The tubes are sandblasted and phosphated and then finished with a double, scratch-resistant powder coating that stands up to intensive use. Power Grade bearings ensure a smooth and precise movement, even with a heavily loaded lever. The maximum load is 300 kg and the machine is suitable for users up to 150 kg. The FWX-6850 meets EN20957-1 and EN957-2 class S and is therefore built for intensive, professional use.

Plate loaded: weight plates and space

As a plate loaded machine, the FWX-6850 works with weight plates you buy yourself; weights are not included. This lets you decide in which steps you increase the load. The machine measures 157 x 145 x 130 cm (l x w x h). Allow some free space around it to load plates and to get in and out easily. It is a machine for a permanent spot in a gym, PT studio or home gym.

Good to know

The FWX-6850 is a specialist machine for the rowing movement. If you want to train your whole body with one machine, a home gym station makes more sense. With a width of 145 cm, you also need space at the sides to load weight plates.
