Sole Brand
Company
Sole treadmills are primarily sold by Sole Fitness, a company that has been making treadmills for over 20 years. They are a very low key company primarily because they only distributed their commercial treadmills to hotel chains such as Hilton Hotel, Omini Hotel and other worldwide hotels. But since 2001, they have taken an extra leap to providing home treadmills. They are considered new to the home treadmill industry but this certainly hasn’t affected their high quality treadmills.
Sole treadmills are manufactured by Dyaco, which also manufactures Spirit treadmills, a less durable treadmill. Sole targets the mid end budgeted consumers with prices ranging from $999 to $2,499.
Pros
Sole treadmills may be in the mid end range but their warranty classifies in the high end range. They generally offer a Lifetime frame, Lifetime deck, Lifetime motor, 5 years Electronics / Belt / Rollers, 2 year labor . This is outstanding for a mid end treadmill and very tough to beat. Usually, the warranty says a lot about the treadmills quality.
For the price they sell, Sole definitely has great valued treadmills. Even though they are fairly new to the market, we can still say that they build durable and extremely stable machines with high quality components. This can be partially seen through their treadmills double horseshoe folding frame technology. This permits the treadmill to fold without compromising its stability. In fact, Sole is growing to be one of the best treadmill brands at building the sturdiest folding treadmills on the market.
*Note*
Speaking of folding, Sole has an Easy Assist Folding Deck Design that enables the deck to unfold itself without having to hold it.
Their treadmills also have a Cushion Flex system that originated back in 1992. They claim that this system was recognized by a leading university as the industry’s best providing a 365% lower impact than running or walking on asphalt. This can be convincing if you are still contemplating on whether you should use a treadmill.
Cons
It is still quite early to evaluate Sole treadmill’s weaknesses.
Summary
Sole treadmills are very stable machines that have not disappointed the treadmill industry one bit. Their reputation has been getting better and better with time and we hope they continue to impress us further down the road. They are solid all around.
