This treadmill is powered by a commercial grade 2.5 CHP motor. The motor is fitted with a heavy, precision balanced flywheel in order to ensure smooth running of the tread belt.

… floating deck

A “floating” deck design resting on multi-durometer elastomer rings is used to provide the deck cushioning. This provides a soft landing surface in front with a firm surface on which to push off from at the rear.

… swing arm shock absorption

Yowza have developed a “swing arm” shock absorption suspension for use on this treadmill which has been designed to lessen the impact of walking and running.

This is similar to the suspension system found on gym quality treadmills and provides smooth, shake-free running while protecting your ankles, knees, hips, and back by minimizing the impact to these areas.
