The deck also continues the use of COMFORTzone Air Cell technology, which offers some shock absorption as well as support. New in this model are console speakers, which can accept MP3 input and offer an alternative headphone output. 3 orange backlit LCD screens display information on which program is selected, the current speed, and the heart rate as measured through contact grips. The program selection has also expanded to 13 in total, with more challenging options for more experienced runners.
