The step-up height is 7″, and the maximum pedal height is 24″ (but your knees should be bent a that point).

Do you have a step-up height now? We have a 7.5″ ceiling so want to be sure its low enough before we buy. Thanks!

I big part of the treadmill purchase is customer service. Is it true that NordicTrack with iFit falls quite short compared to SoleF80?

In reply to najeeb.

So I used both an inclinometer, and I manually measured the front and back of the deck as well as the distance between the two points I measured (rise over run). You have to measure the back too because the curved back feet actually allow the back of the deck to lower slightly during the incline. The other factor is that the deck is not 0% when it’s flat. It’s inclined at about 3% by my measurements when it is supposed to be flat. So you are right that it’s not increasing the incline by a full 9% but by about 6%.

how did you measure the incline at 9 percent? i just got one & basically measured a 2 inch increase of height in the front from level 0 to 12 & calculated an actual incline of about 4.7 percent based on the length of the pad. did i do it wrong? 4.7 percent also seems to correspond better to the calories burned that it calculates when i do a session.

Since resistance is adjusted via the console instead of a knob — the bike must always be connected to an electrical outlet and powered on to be able to change it? Thanks

Spirit is owned by the same company as Sole. I haven’t been able to fully test any of their machines, but the few I have used feel extremely similar to Sole. Like Sole, Spirit seems to be very durable with a good warranty.

Our reviewer who is 5’1″ could use it comfortably. The stride should be just fine.

Does this work comfortably for a petite person under 5 feet tall with the adjustable stride length?
