Pros
Overall, Cybex treadmills are well built fitness machines. They have a strong motor, large running/walking space and good cushioning system. Remember that Cybex treadmills were built based on the science of biomechanics and ergonomics.
The quality and reliability of these machines are excellent. Cybex International did a good job with these treadmills.
Cons
The main weak point of the Cybex treadmill is the value. These treadmills are priced at over $6,000. Pacemaster and Precor offer similar machines at a substantially lower price. There is no doubt that these models are top performing and good quality machines but the price tag may simply be too much.
The warranty is for the commercial models are weak. These warranties are based on the fact that they will be used 6-8 hours daily.
Summary
Cybex treadmills are too expensive since they are commercial models. Pacemaster, Precor or Lifefitness are good high end treadmills.
