Sole F80 Treadmill Review

Next is about Sole F80 Treadmill review - regarded by many as one of the best value exercise treadmills in its price range.

Powering the Sole F80 is a, 2.5 HP ultra high torque continuous duty motor that propels you from 0.5 to 11mph and up inclines up to 15%.

The F80 has an epoxy powder coated paint, baked to durable high finish. This finish protects the all-steel construction. The frames are virtually indestructible and have a lifetime warranty.

The industrial quality motor is fitted with a large diameter, all-steel zinc coated balanced flywheel for a vibration-free secure running/walking surface.

The flywheel causes the motor to run cooler with less current draw and will give the motor a long life. This also allows for a start speed of 0.1mph or 1/10 of 1mph. that is very slow and allows for exceptionally smooth starts at the beggining of your fitness routine.

The high-end rollers that are fitted to the Sole F80 are usually found on $5000 treadmills. These are 2.75” rollers with a sealed bearing design and copper ground wires for each roller. This helps to reduce static building up during your exercise session.

Larger rollers make for a larger contact area against the belt and prolongs both the roller and belt life. This results in a smooth, quiet, and static free motion.

Double woven 2-ply belts with four layers are used in the Sole F80. This consists of two rubber layers over a middle PVC layer and a nylon backing that rolls over the deck and rollers.

The rubber provides the durability, the PVC stops the belt from over-stretching and the nylon provides a smooth static free surface to glide over the deck and rollers.

The Whisper deck on the Sole F80 is exceptionally smooth and quiet and so durable that Sole offer a lifetime warranty on it. If it wears out Sole will replace it for free.
