Easter Challenge 2025

The Easter Bunny has hopped into one of EXR’s virtual worlds and hidden Easter eggs near the shores. Row past it during your session (all modes) and you’ll earn the Easter Badge 2025 and unlock the Easter item set! Once unlocked, you can acquire each item by spending X-Coins without any level requirement.

The Easter Challenge 2025 is available until the end of April 2025. Once you beat the Easter Challenge and have earned your badge, the Easter Set will remain unlocked and ready for purchase anytime in the customization menu. If you don’t manage to earn the badge this year, you’ll have to wait until next year to try again.

A force curve can now be displayed when connecting EXR to a Concept2 or RP3 rowing machine. You can turn the force curve on/off in the app’s interface settings.

Additionally, a stroke length indicator has been added and your drag factor now gets uploaded to your Concept2 Logbook entry. Make sure to connect your Concept2 Logbook to EXR before your workout to sync your data.


Intervals.ICU as third-party connection

You can now connect Intervals.ICU to your EXR account to sync your workout data. Please connect Intervals.ICU to EXR before your workout to sync your data. Learn more on EXR’s support page.
