R80 Torpedo

Brand: Sportop · Model: R80 · Category: Rower

The Sportop R80 Torpedo is a water rower for the home: a belt-driven water tank that reproduces the feel and sound of rowing on a lake, loaded with 6 to 9 litres to set the resistance, and a rotating console with FTMS Bluetooth that shows time, pace per 500 m, strokes per minute, watts, calories and metres. Certified to EN ISO 20957 for users up to 150 kg, it rolls on front wheels for storage.

• Water resistance with 6–9 litre tank

• Belt transmission for quiet operation

• FTMS Bluetooth console with pace, SPM, watts and intervals

• Rotating console and smart-device holder

• 150 kg maximum user weight, EN ISO 20957 certified

The Sportop R80 Torpedo brings water rowing to apartments and homes in Bangalore. A sealed tank of water provides the resistance, so the harder you pull the harder the paddle works and the louder the swoosh, exactly as on open water, while a belt transmission keeps the mechanism itself quiet. The console connects over FTMS Bluetooth to rowing apps and reads a 5.3 kHz chest belt.

Who is this rower for?

The R80 suits home users who want full-body cardio with no impact on the knees, apartments where noise matters, rowers who use apps such as Kinomap or Zwift, and anyone who finds air rowers too loud. Its 150 kg maximum user weight is certified to EN ISO 20957, and the compact frame rolls away on front wheels.

Key workout benefits

Rowing works roughly 85% of the body’s muscle in one movement, and water resistance scales naturally with effort so beginners and strong athletes use the same setting. The console offers quick start, 20/10 and 20/30 intervals, a custom interval, a race mode and a heart-rate programme, and reads out time, time per 500 m, calories per hour, strokes per minute, strokes, watts, calories and metres.

Build quality and user experience

Resistance is set by filling the tank with 6 to 9 litres of water; more water means a heavier, slower stroke. The console tube and smart-device holder both rotate so a phone or tablet sits where you want it, the seat is supportive for long sessions, and front transport wheels make storage easy.

Space, installation and power

Allow about 0.6 m behind the seat at full extension and 0.5 m on each side; our team will confirm the exact footprint for your room. The console runs from a mains adaptor, so a 220 V socket is needed nearby. Luxe Fitness delivers, assembles and fills the tank, and shows you how to treat the water.

Care and maintenance

Wipe the handle, seat, rail and foot straps after each session and keep the rail free of dust so the seat glides freely. Add the supplied water-treatment tablet to the tank every few months to keep the water clear, and check the belt and foot straps monthly. Book a service visit if the stroke develops noise or the console stops pairing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change resistance on the Sportop R80 Torpedo?

Water rowers do not have levels; the resistance rises with your stroke speed. For a heavier feel, add water to the tank up to the 9 litre mark; for a lighter feel, drain down to 6 litres.

Does the Sportop R80 connect to apps?

Yes. The console supports FTMS over Bluetooth, the standard used by rowing and fitness apps, and has a built-in 5.3 kHz receiver for a chest belt.

Is a water rower noisy?

A water rower makes a soft swoosh of water on each stroke, which most people find pleasant, and the R80’s belt transmission is much quieter than a chain. It is well suited to apartments.

What warranty does the Sportop R80 Torpedo have in India?
