The Nautilus R618 2018 and R618 2016 Recumbent Bikes offer the exact same features with the only difference being in the overall color of the frame:  the 2018 model is finished in an all-black frame whereas the previous 2016 model is finished in a grey/silver frame.

So apart from the color, both the Nautilus R618 2018 and 2016 Recumbent Bikes are built to the same high standards, offering super smooth and quiet operation thanks to their ECB magnetic resistance system and heavy-duty 30 lb effective flywheel system.
