Sole Fitness F65 Folding Treadmill

Product Information

The only real difference I can see between these two treadmills and their included features is that the LCD console on the F65 is 2.5″ larger than the one found on the F63 (9″ vs 6.5″). Obviously the purpose of this article is to review the F65 based upon it’s own merits, but for anyone comparing this model and the F63, let’s point out the obvious upgrades – this has a marginally larger motor, a 3” longer running surface and a welcomed larger LCD display. Now when you consider that the F63 has won numerous awards and became one of the most successful treadmills in the U.S market for 2 years running, it starts to become apparent what the ‘next model up’ may represent! For a more comprehensive comparison of the Sole F63 and Sole F65, below is a side-by-side look at each machine’s key specifications and functions. Overall, this treadmill scores highly in this category too- the motor is strong enough to support comfortable running and the rollers are larger than most in this price range. Features

Just goes to show you that the prices for these treadmills will change over time, so don’t get too mad at me if these prices aren’t accurate by the time you see this.

USB charging port- you can plug your smart devices in and keep them charged during workouts (convenient if you choose to watch Netflix, which can really drain a battery). You can’t beat a lifetime guarantee on the frame and motor, that’s as good as it gets (and most at this price point are only offering 10 years on the frame). I also like to compare assembled weights because I feel like this spec gives us an objective way to compare “heavy-dutiness” between machines. Finally, for home gyms that need every last inch of space for a treadmill, the footprint of the F63 is slightly narrower and shorter lengthwise compared to the F65 (35” x 77” vs 38” x 82.5”). When compared to similarly priced offerings from rival manufactures, there are many aspects that make the F65 stand apart from the competition. As we’ve mentioned, the motor is exceptionally powerful at this price point, meaning that although the top speeds may appear close, the extra power should extend the lifespan of the machine because the F65 doesn’t have to work as hard to deliver the same speed. The ease at which the motor performs also reflects in relatively quiet noise levels in use too.

Having a larger running surface is beneficial because it’s going to provide a more spacious workout experience and having more room always feels more comfortable than having less room, regardless of whether or not you need the extra space. This treadmill also comes with 2.36″ rollers, which is pretty good for a treadmill in this price range (it used to come with 2.5″ rollers, which was even better). All things considered, I think this is a fine treadmill with some respectable performance specs, but I’m not gonna lie – it’s a little disappointing to see the subtle downgrades in this newer edition. Nope, the only real difference here is that the F63 comes with a slightly larger rollers because both come with the same motor. Features Two years on parts is pretty average for the price of the F65, but 3 years on parts for the F63 is amazing for the price.Sole Fitness is a leading manufacturer of cardio equipment known for their emphasis on performance over "extras." Engineered with top-notch components, all treadmills in Sole's line up are durable, high-quality, simple, and effective. They offer a greater range of incline and speed options regardless of price point, which surpasses most competitors. This treadmill is designed to challenge the exerciser and enhance workout performance. Thus the treadmill has a wide speed range from 0.5mph to 12mph. The heart-pounding speed can be great for fat-burning exercises and cardio. Also, heavy-duty stable inclines play their role in keeping you motivated throughout your workout. The incline ranges from 0-15%. These inclines tone your calf and thigh muscles and build up your stamina. Together, the speed and incline deliver great performance and results. The F63 is more affordable than the F65, so I guess it’s an even better warranty for the F63, but it’s going to be hard to find a better treadmill warranty at either price. After reading, you’ll not only be well-versed in all the specs and features, but you’ll have a better ideas as to whether or not the F65 is the right treadmill for your home gym. The F65 offers a display that is an inch or two larger than the F63 for your workout stats. An integrated tablet holder takes care of your entertainment needs and allows you to keep your device and fitness apps in sync with the treadmill. While it isn’t as remarkable as the full-color screens on advanced treadmills today, it is good enough for a functional mid-range treadmill. If you’re bored, you always have the option of using your gadgets.
