Why the 21 pound flywheel? For stability and consistent power. Working with the 3.5 HP motor, you’ll always have more than enough power. The TT8’s 22” x 60” running area is the largest offered by Sole.

The Buzz

A few skeptical trainers put the Sole TT8 through its paces early on and conceded that it did indeed have all the power and strength of a commercial-grade treadmill. Their surprise was due to the price; like us they just don’t see how Sole keeps producing treadmills with such high quality components while managing to keep the price so reasonable.

Those who own the Sole TT8 treadmill have usually purchased it because of the spacious running area. A mere two extra inches on the width makes such a difference when you’re running hard. The 60” length is extremely generous, and is loved by runners over six feet tall.

What We Say

Once you get this baby set up, you’ll probably never move it, but why would you want to? The stability is part of the charm of the Sole TT8 treadmill. You’d expect it to take up some room (it does) in exchange for giving you so much running area, but it’s a fair trade. You’ll be using this treadmill twenty years from now with few if any problems.
