Has the  cyclone elliptical cross trainer lost favor?

Over the past few years, the cyclone elliptical cross trainer has completely vanished from the exercise equipment scene. One of the possible reasons for this disappearing act was a recent study by Dr. Len Kravitz from Mississippi a few years back. Although this study is out of date, it had expressed concerns about the performance of the Cyclone elliptical cross trainer.

The Cyclone elliptical cross trainer was compared with the Ellipse by Nordic Track, the HealthRider elliptical by ICON HEalth, and the Power Train by Guthy-Renker. In that study, the Cyclone elliptical cross trainer came in last, below the Ellipse, HealthRider, AND PowerTrain. In the study, 5 out of 7 women hit their knees on the panel when using the cyclone. In fact, Dr. Kravitz commented that "..The PowerTrain and the Cyclone look like they are inexpensively made to be competitively priced.
