I would simply love to get my hands, aehmm feet on this Treadmill – but the price is scarying high.
$5K – The Sole F85 is half the price and even the new F89 is $3K – So the free RIVAL og HEADWIND is a necessity to add these two devices in order to lure people to buy the treadmill at that price, and I guess the sale is way lower than they had expected.
Wahoo should probably use the first quarter of 2025 to figure out what is the “right price” in Europe before they release it for sale next summer. Even the USD 5000 directly converted into EUR is way to expensive compared to its competitors.
Yes the hype of the product will probably sell a few 1000s but then it will drop like a stone from the sky.
Reviews are coming in – and several confirmed buyers says that the treadmill:
– Needs a stronger power outlet than other brands.
– Bottle holders to close
– Belt is not long enough
– WIFI is (as ever) not very good
– Software could be way better (and probably will be).
– The paddles for incline/decline and speed takes some time to learn to use compared to other brands.
I Know that firsthand/foot guys like DCrainmaker and similar says this is going to change the world like the bike trainers…but what about non hardcore runners like most people. Are they going to spend this amount of money for an occasional run when the weather turns bad?
Technogym is pretty expensive: https://www.technogym.com/en-GB/category/treadmills/, so is Nordic: https://www.nordictrack.co.uk/specials
I wonder about the practicalities of the size of these things. they take up even more space than a smart bike trainer which, at least , can be moved. I actually *DO* have the space for a KICKR RUN and am currently planning around getting one but even with the space i have the issue is non trivial.
