The NordicTrack 490 is a front-drive elliptical with a 20-inch stride, motorized incline and decline from -5% to 15%, and a 7-inch LCD with built-in cardio workouts. It pairs with the JRNY app on your phone or tablet for guided and adaptive training, and adds Bluetooth speakers, Bluetooth heart-rate support and a USB charging port. It suits home exercisers who want incline variety and app-based coaching without a large machine. Against pricier ellipticals it gives up a touchscreen and heavier flywheel feel, but the power incline is rare at this level.
