Versatile and Sturdy
The C8S is operationally almost exactly the same as the C8 Pro, using the same carriage, runner profile, running gear and adjustment systems so you can expect the same smooth and silent user experience. For owners of existing C-Series the C8-S also uses the same Jump Board, Mattress Inserts, and Platform Extender. The C8S comes in a standard height of 26cm which can be raised to 42cm with its optional almost seamless leg extensions.
In order to preserve the clean look, the C8S frame and legs are not pre-drilled to take a Half Cadillac frame like the C8-Pro. For those wishing to use a Half Cadillac, a clamp style Half Cadillac Bracket is available, or alternatively the reformer can be used with our Wall Mounted Half Cadillac, which actually offers a superior experience as there will be no clanking Half Cadillac springs (or need to remove these) when using the Jump Board. In a studio setting this Wall Mounted Half Cadillac also means that the reformer and Half Cadillac can be separated to create two workstations, rather than just having the one.
Form and Function
The differences between the C8S and the C8 Pro are: the stainless steel rope risers, 1.5cm less carriage travel (but still an excellent 105cm); very similar but fractionally different footbar positions; 1.5cm narrower standing platform, white frame, runners and legs; different leg extensions and the inability to have a Full Cadillac attached. On the plus side it looks great and functions beautifully!
Optional Extras
The C8S reformer shares all the accessories such as mat convertor, standing platform, half Cadillac as the C2-Pro RC and earlier C series reformers, meaning it sits perfectly alongside other C series machines. Furthermore many components from the C8 Pro, such as the half Cadillac frame are also cross-compatible with A Series machines, giving you additional possibilities and flexibility as your studio grows.
