Change the Nohrd SlimBeam resistance by exchanging the cable. Available in 2:1 Ratio.
The cable ratio determines the actual resistance on the SlimBeam.
A higher cable ratio number meanslower overall resistance, but smaller increments between weight plates.
A higher cable ratio is alonger cable than a lower cable ratio (a 2:1 cable is twice the length of a 1:1 cable).
Divide the weight on the stack by the first number in the cable ratio to know the actual resistance of a cable machine.
The NOHrD SlimBeam has a 75 kg weight stack (14 x 5 kg plates + 1 x 5 kg base plate) with the option of either a 3:1, 2:1 or 1:1 cable to suit different user preferences and exercises. The table below shows the range of actual resistance with each cable on the SlimBeam.
2:1 cable ratio provides enough weight for most people while still offering reasonably smaller increments between plates.
