Sole F85

The Sole F85 is a premium treadmill, the flagship offering in Sole's F series of treadmills. The F85 and the closely related F83 have many specs in common. Both treadmills have a heart rate zone graph that allows you to visually measure your heart rate, so that you can stay within your recommended heart rate zone while you work out.

Both treadmills have six preset workout programs, including cardio training and fat burning modes. Both the F83 and F85 have a red LED display that shows the speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, pulse and pace. There are also built-in speakers that allow you to plug in any MP3 player (like an iPod) on both treadmills. The F85 is an improvement over the lower cost F83 in that it has a larger 20" x 60" running surface (compared to the F83's 20" x 58"), 33" x 80" deck (compared to the F83's 33" x 78"), 400 pound user weight limit (compared to the F83's 375 pound weight limit), and 3.5HP motor (compared to the F83's 3.0HP motor). The Sole F85 comes with a lifetime frame, deck and motor warranty, a five year parts warranty, and a two year labor warranty.
