The frame is 81.5 in long against 95.3 in, which is the shortest reformer BASI makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does not change is the construction. Beech wood frame, aircraft-grade aluminium rails for a quiet carriage, orthopaedic padded cushion, antibacterial hospital-grade vinyl. Five springs arrive with it, three red, one yellow and one blue. The VPS pulley system slides to any height along the riser so rope height suits the body rather than the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits home practitioners and group studios that want the build quality without the full adjustment stack.

The structural woodwork and main frame carry ten years. Metal profiles and components, F2 parts, springs, plastic components and fasteners carry two years. Elastomer-coated parts such as the footbar, hand bar, pedals, stoppers, handles and wheels carry one year. Mats, upholstered surfaces and fabric accessories carry ninety days. The clock starts at the invoice date and the cover follows the original purchaser rather than the apparatus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a spring replacement requirement. On spring-loaded apparatus, springs are to be changed every two years or at 3,000 hours of use, whichever is reached first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnited States orders ship free. Crated apparatus goes on a freight truck with a phone call ahead to arrange the window, and the driver unloads at the kerb rather than carrying it in, so arrange help and check your access route in advance. Parcel-sized items generally arrive 7 to 10 business days after dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo the inspection before you sign the Proof of Delivery. Anything damaged or missing has to be written on that document at delivery and claimed within five business days for the manufacturer to accept liability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted for 30 days from delivery on unused equipment in its original packaging, with no restocking fee and refunds processed within 7 business days. Cancelling before the apparatus leaves the factory costs nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout BASI Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range is made by BASI Systems for BASI Pilates, founded by Rael Isacowitz, and the apparatus is designed against the repertoire it teaches rather than the other way round. That shows up in the upgrade paths: four prepared F2 ports on most of the catalogue, tower and trapeze conversions on the reformer frames, three extension leg heights shared across five apparatus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild is consistent throughout. Solid beech, aircraft-grade aluminium track and hardware, orthopaedic cushioning under antibacterial vinyl. The Wunda Chair holds an A Design Award and the spring positioning system is patented.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BASI Systems","offers":[{"title":"Anthracite Grey","offer_id":54086449791160,"sku":"M BSE 140 01","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Cool Sand","offer_id":54086449823928,"sku":"M BSE 140 02","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Campfire Orange","offer_id":54086449856696,"sku":"M BSE 140 03","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Burgundy","offer_id":54086449889464,"sku":"M BSE 140 04","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moonless Night Black","offer_id":54086449922232,"sku":"M BSE 140 05","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Petrol Green","offer_id":54086449955000,"sku":"M BSE 140 08","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Navy","offer_id":54086449987768,"sku":"M BSE 140 07","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pristine White","offer_id":54086450020536,"sku":"M BSE 140 06","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5031\/8520\/files\/basi-systems-compact-reformer-angle-view_0e2be361-db8e-4939-97bb-1c0f94aa0f1e.jpg?v=1789221706","url":"https:\/\/thepilatesworks.com\/products\/basi-systems-compact-reformer","provider":"The Pilates Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
