Sole F85 Treadmill Review

Is this for you:

Sole Fitness has made an excellent valued treadmill with an overall good package. By putting together good components with a long warranty, Sole treadmills are setting themselves apart from the market. The Sole F85 treadmill is the top folding treadmill model offered.

The Sole F85 treadmill has a very powerful motor and a long and wide running surface. If you are looking for a folding treadmill for under $2000, the F85 is for you. Otherwise, there a many other brands that are competitive.

Key Features:

The Sole F85 treadmill features one touch speed and incline buttons to jump straight to your desired speed/incline. It also features the low impact Cushion flex deck with a Safety Lock Deck design that locks the deck into place when the treadmill is folded in the upright position.

The Sole F85 treadmill has an Easy Assist Folding Deck Design to easily lower the treadmill’s deck. Its 20 x 60 inch belt the best in the market while the 3.5 HP motor can delivers speeds up to 12 mph and inclines up to 15% with ease.

The F85 Sole has a strong warranty with lifetime on frame, deck and motor, 5 years on the electronics/belt/rollers and 2 years on labor.

Looking at its decks, the Cushion Flex Decks offered on all Sole treadmills allow for low impact, joint friendly workouts. The Whisper Decks
 have a phenolic coating to make them smooth, quiet and durable.

One key component that is not often talked about is Sole treadmills’ rollers. These rollers are top of the line that you would find on a high end treadmill. The larger the roller, the larger the contact surface is against the belt; which results in a longer roller and belt life.

Final verdict:

As mentioned earlier, the F85 Sole is the best folding treadmill. It is also the top folding model offered by Sole Fitness.
