Further down the page, you’ll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the Sole F65 and the Sole F80.
But before checking out explanations regarding their specs and features here’s a table that summarizes the main technical summary sheet for these 2 treadmills:
Specs Comparison
We know that budget is the first aspect you have to encounter when considering purchasing any products. However, the treadmill for $100 might lead to chronic injury down the line, while the $5,000+ treadmill that professional athletes use is too burdensome. We are happy to inform you that the two versions: Sole F65 and F80 are far affordable but still offer enough features for your demand!
With such a price difference, how about the weight capacity between them? Similar to other typical treadmills, the maximum weight for the F65 is 350 pounds, while the Sole F80 is slightly more at 375 pounds. Overall, there’s not much difference between them.
The latest F80 and F65 make training more efficient and effective by offering ten preset programs, including user-designed workouts. However, the Sole F65 model allows you to pick their program via their mobile devices.
What about the running surface? The popular trainer F65 has an ample running surface and wide armrests of 22’’ x 60’’, letting you run freestyle lines. Likewise, the Sole F80 treadmill uses Flex™ Cushion technology for the same outcomes.
When it comes to power, F80 has great advantages as it has a powerful 3.5 CHP (DC) motor, while F65’s engine is only a 3.25 CHP motor.
Features Comparison
While the F65 offers incline on a 15% power ramp, the Sole F80 has a slope ranging from 0-15%. Moreover, the F65 and its brother can both reach 12 mph at maximum speed.
You can also check your weight loss or cardiovascular improvement with the chest strap heart rate monitor and the pulse grip. Similarly, the F80 also offers a chest strap heart monitor and a wireless heart rate monitor on the armrest to monitor the trainee’s health.
Do these treadmills take up much space in my house? The F65’s size is 80.3″ wide x 33.5″ long x 57.1″ high. The F80 is somehow bulkier, with 82″ wide x 36″ long x 16.5″ high. Thankfully, they are foldable to reduce the space used. After workouts, the F65 treadmill can easily be folded without assistance by a switch. The F80, however, offers a2.5-inch rollers set, keeping the whole machine conveniently movable.
As mentioned, the console allows you to change the speed, the incline, and the workouts for more comfortable training. The Sole F80 features a 9-inch LCD, a large water bottle holder on each side, and an accessory tray. Other accessories include a built-in speaker with Bluetooth, a tablet holder, a USB plug to charge phones and tablets.
On the other hand, the F65 offers an integrated tablet holder, Bluetooth speakers, and a USB charging port in the former console. Users can store all workout history and control treadmill workout selections with the treadmill’s Sole Fitness app.
When buying an F65 Folding Treadmill, you get a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor, three-year on electronics and parts, and one year of labor.
Meanwhile, the F80 offers a great warranty package: Lifetime coverage on frame, motor, and deck; 5 years on electronics and parts; two years on labor.
