In Addition, the Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer has quickly become a #1 seller on Amazon.  The 18" stride leapt out as a special feature of the Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer.  It is unlikely that a trainer at the same price level will be able to match the level of comfort and fluid motion that this stride offers.
