Product Summary & Specs
Sole’s F85 treadmill is one of its highest rated foldable machines. It has a powerful 4.0 horsepower motor that is smooth, quiet and able to support high intensity, sustained running. The F85 includes a 22-inch wide running surface with 2.75 inch rollers intended to extend the effectiveness of the treadmill’s motor. The running surface is cushioned and boasts a 2-ply belt with four layers, which Sole claims to reduce impact by 40%. This treadmill offers incline options up to 15% grade for variable hill training, interval work and endurance conditioning. With a max speed of 12 miles per hour, the F85 is suited for every fitness level from casual walking to intense running.
The F85 includes speed and incline buttons on the handrail, which makes it easy to adjust your settings without having to remove your hands from the handrails. And, for those of you looking for a touchscreen and improved tech features, you are in luck. The F85 now offers a WiFi connected experience which keeps you entertained throughout the toughest of workouts. The 10.1 inch touchscreen display includes seven preset apps: Netflix, YouTube, ESPN, CBC News, NBC News, and CNN News. What’s more, the F85 is equipped with Bluetooth speakers, a USB port and an integrated table holder to enhance your running experience. Connect to the new Sole+ app to track workout metrics or transfer your fitness data to other apps like Fitbit, Record, Mapmyrun and Apple Health.
Constructed with an all-steel bullet proof frame, the F85 is built like a tank. Yet, folding the treadmill is effortless thanks to Sole’s “Easy Deck” design. However, with a folded footprint of 44 inches by 37 inches by 71 inches, the F85 certainly is not space-saving. Weighing 308 pounds, the F85 may offer portability but users report the weight makes it very difficult to move. While the overwhelming majority of reviews are positive, it’s not all roses and sunshine. Several reviews report a faulty touchscreen, software malfunction, and Bluetooth speakers emitting screeching noises. But, backed with a lifetime warranty, the F85 stands as one of the best on the market.
