Peloton Tread Frame
The Peloton Treadis stable weighing in at around 290lbs (131kg). There are four adjustable levelers under the deck that can be modified in height so the Tread doesn’t rock around on your floor. The side rails are wide enough to stand on and I appreciate the low step-up height of just 8” (20cm). A modern design and minimalist styling make the Tread feel more like furniture than exercise equipment which is nice because it doesn’t fold up, so you are committed to the footprint in your home. Whil...
Treadmill Deck
1. Cushioning/Feel 1.1. There are a few unique design features I appreciate about the Peloton Tread. The red centerline is visually appealing and provides a useful guide for a straight stride. 1.2. The Tread has acceptable cushioning; it is certainly better than running outdoors, but not as cushioned as other models. I foun d the cushioning to be on par with some of the best treadmillsin the $1000-$1500 range, but not compatible with those in the $3400 range. 2. Belt Length/Width 2.1. The Tre...
Motor
The Tread has a 3.0 HP motor, which is roughly our recommended cut-off for running treadmills. Since long-term data on durability isn’t currently available, we have to go on how the motor feels and performs during testing. When running fast, long, or interval programs the motor provided immediate and responsive power. There was no lag at any point. Extended use by multiple users could tax the motor, but as it is, the 3.0HP performs well and feels sufficiently powered.
Screen
The touchscreen is the crowning jewel on the Peloton Tread, which makes sense because buyers of this machine are essentially investing in the Peloton app and brand. Essentially, the minimalist design caters to full immersion with the app. There is a paucity of buttons, controls, or extemporaneous features on the Tread. Most functionality is embedded in the touchscreen which keeps the console clean. A compact water bottle tray and small shelf are the only physical features aside from the STOP...
Controls
1. Speed and Incline KnobsThe knobs are positioned on either side of the handles. 1.1. Personally, I like the feel of the speed and incline knobs on the Peloton Tread. They have just a touch of texture, so even if your hands are sweaty, you should still be able to grab and move the knob without your fingers slipping. The jump button is easy to reach with the thumb and a quick “pop” jumps you up to the next even level for both speed and incline. 1.2. However, finding the right speed or incline...
Fans
There is no fan on the Tread. Fans are really useful, especially on a piece of equipment this size. As a piece of fitness equipment, the Tread will most likely be tucked into a corner or along a wall. This limits options a little for setting a fan close by. Also, at this price point it’s kind of annoying to have to also buy a fan separately. It would be nice if the Tread had a fan in the console.
