"Travel Trac" is printed in white on the right support arm and "Millennium" is printed in white on the left arm. "Inertial" is printed on the top of the right arm in black with a white border. The resistance unit has a rounded black plastic cover with a soft red elastomer roller. The item number is also printed on the bottom of the last page of the owner's manual.
