Pulse 260 by Smooth - the latest exercise treadmill on the market from the famous Smooth fitness stable. The Pulse 260 will be sought by demanding runners who will appreciate the matchless stability and solid feel from this superb treadmill.

Key features include a spring-loaded walking/running surface coupled with a low impact shock absorbing deck that reduces stress on the low back, legs, knees, and ankles during your fitness workout.

The Pulse 260 execise treadmill also features the benefits of a reversible running deck and self-lubricating belt for a longer, low maintenance life.

The Pulse 260 treadmill is going to be very popular, lets find out why.

A 4HP AC Motor with a 1.5kw digital sensor less vector drive system, provides efficient and effective power to this ultimate running machine.

Micro impact absorption control allows for a low impact, shock absorption experience that reduces stress on the lower back, legs, knees and ankles during your fitness workout.

The fitness technology is tried, tested and continuously developed, with features like a reversible running deck and a self lubricating running belt for a longer, easier life.

We particularly like the powerful 4.0 hp AC motor (usually only found in more expensive treadmills) which allows speeds of 0.5-15 mph.

This is a non-folding exercise treadmill and users will be able to experience the same sense of rock solid stability you enjoy on commercial gym quality machines.

The control panel with it's easy to read dot matrix display indicates time, interval time, speed, distance, calories, incline, and program.

The Pulse 260 treadmill has Micro Impact absorption system , which provides stability during even the most strenuous fitness workout and features an extra-quiet belt and reversible deck.

Couple this with 7 fitness workout programs, the amazing Lifetime warranty on the motor, frame and all parts plus 3 yrs on site maintenance and you have got an amazing package.

Ok, now lets have a close look under the hood!


… as much power as you need.

The Pulse 260 utilizes a powerful 4.0 HP AC Motor with a 1.5kw digital sensor less vector drive system. This provides efficient and effective power and maintenance-free service for runners, walkers and fitness enthusiasts.



… more room to run

The Pulse 260 incorporates a 20" wide tread belt. You will appreciate the advantages of this large running space when you come to use the exercise treadmill especially if you plan to use it for running.



… take the shock out of running

Walking and running are the most natural and enjoyable forms of exercising you can engage in but the continual pounding can take a toll on your joints. Running on some treadmills can feel like running on concrete. The Pulse 260 comes to the rescue here with its patented Spring Loaded walking surface.

This Micro Impact absorption system will reduce harmful impact on your ankles, knees, hips and back and ensure that you enjoy the same silky smooth performance as you get in gym quality treadmills.

Some recent fitness research has shown that as your front foot gets a soft landing, while launching your rear foot with a firm push-off. Pressure is relieved on the lower back, muscles and tendons.

There is also an added benefit in this type of cushioning - muscles contract at a lower peak intensity for a longer period of time, so they burn 14%-23% more calories.



… finger on the pulse

The Hand Grip Pulse Monitor on the Pulse 260 is conveniently positioned at the front of the console, so that your hand grip pulse monitor is more comfortable to use during your fitness session.



… you have control

The use of large buttons, well-organized panel and easy-to-read displays are only part of why the Pulse 260 performs so well. Unlike some exercise treadmills you have the ability to adjust preset programs on the fly. You can also quickly set (or reset) speed, incline, time or pulse rate while the treadmill is running.

Improved LCD Console - Intuitive, interactive LCD console lets you monitor your speed, distance, calories, time and pulse simultaneously.



… programmed for success!

The key to staying motivated when using a treadmill and achieving your fitness goals is having a variety of preset programs, The Pulse 260 gives you seven to choose from.

.



… rock solid feel

Because of their light weight, some exercise treadmills often rock and sway during brisk walks or runs. The Pulse 260 is no light weight, weighing in at 570 lbs. Safety and stability are, therefore, assured.

… what if it breaks?

An exercise treadmill of this quality should have a warranty to match. The Pulse 260 treadmill is backed with a lifetime warranty on the frame, motor and parts. What's more, you also get a 3-years of in-home service at no additional charge.
