Although mainly aimed at the domestic market, the Smooth 6.17 still has enough power for the serious fitness enthusiast.
This is quite a departure from the styling of the most of the Smoothfitness range and with it’s white frame and minimalist design, but still retains Smoothfitness’s reputation for build quality.
Aside from the rather elegant styling there are many innovative features. These include Swing Arm shock absorption, a “Whisper Weave” tread belt and “Polar” wireless heart rate control.

Touch screen controls

This model eliminates this difficulty by the use of a highly sensitive touch screen makes operating the unit is as simple as a tap of the finger. Changes to speed, incline and other settings while in motion can be made without throwing you off your rhythm.
Shock absorption
The running surface is supported by a “Swing Arm” suspension system.
With Swing Arm technology the entire running deck and frame are suspended on two pivots. This will reduce harmful impact on your ankles, knees, hips and back and ensure that you enjoy the same silky smooth performance gym quality treadmills.
