Nautilus U514 Upright Bike
Sunday, November 18, 2012
Sure, everyone knows the name Nautilus nowadays, but that wasn’t always the case. In fact, the ubiquitous fitness equipment manufacturer made some serious missteps early on before they found their stride. Here are some facts about Nautilus you might not have known:
- Original Nautilus equipment was designed specifically for cephalopods.
- After several years of poor sales, Nautilus backed off its stance that all exercise equipment should feature a logarithmic spiral.
- Initial models on offers were deemed prohibitively expensive due to the insistence that they be inlaid with osmena pearl.
- Focus groups complained about bikes and treadmills moving only backward.
- New Caledonia has declined numerous sponsorship offers.
