Sole TT8 Treadmill Review

The TT in Sole TT8 actually stands for twenty two, referring to this treadmill’s 22-inch wide running surface. At 22″ by 60″, the Sole TT8 treadmill has the largest running surface among all Sole treadmills. This extra space gives the user a more comfortable and safer workout. Together with a wider area, this treadmill also sports a high torque, 3.5 HP continuous duty motor and grated reinforced framework to support users of up to 425 lbs.

Reaching a top speed of 12 mph and a maximum incline of up to 15%, the TT8 is an ideal choice for hardcore runners who want all these features – plus an extra 2 inches on the sides. Priced at just under $2,300, the Treadmill Doctor says it “compares with other treadmills in the $3,500 to $4,500 price range from other companies.”

The MSRP on the Sole TT8 is $2,999.00 but is regularly on sale for around $2299.99 and you pay no sales tax unless you are a resident of Utah.

One of the most solid running treadmills on the market and one of the least expensive that has a 22” belt and a drive system to work it. A very solid machine at a value price. -Industry Experts, TreadmillDoctor.com
