Peloton has announced a trio of new smart treadmills, the Tread Flex, Peloton Tread Vision and Tread+ Vision.

It’s the Peloton Tread Flex that is likely to open up the platform to new people as it’s the most affordable and the first in the series capable of folding up to inhabit less floor space.

Peloton says the treadmill folds up to roughly halve its footprint, and it can reach running speeds of up to 12.5mph. There’s an adjuster knob on one side, and it has a 21.5-inch touchscreen — smaller than those of previous models.

The Peloton Tread Flex goal is clear, to offer something suitable for those without so much room to spare in their homes. It’s still a hefty piece of equipment, though, capable of the same speeds as the step-up Peloton Tread Vision, as well as the same 12.5% maximum incline.

It’s the levelled-up Peloton Tread Vision that offers the more interesting technology, though. As well as a larger 23.8-inch screen – like the previous Peloton Tread — it has a camera system with some intriguing smart features that give this Vision sub-series its name.

The camera is used to offer feedback on your running form, to count reps when you perform weight-based exercises, and to monitor your vertical oscillation — one element of running form. A Peloton Tread Vision will also display cadence data.

It’s an altogether much smarter treadmill, and one that can be controlled with your voice as well as the screen and the control dial, which also gains a pair of pace up/down buttons over the fold-up Tread Flex.

Other enhancements include superior speakers, ones “tuned by Sonos , ” a fan and a built-in weights workout rack. As such, this model feels more in-line with the previous-generation Tread — it just has signifncantly upgraded intelligent features.

A Peloton Tread Vision costs $3,495 in the U.S. but you can spent a lot more than that if you choose to upgrade to the Peloton Tread+ Vision.

It provides major upgrades to the running essentials, centered around a longer 7ft, versus 6ft, platform made up of 59 slats rather than a belt. This different style of treadmill allows for user-driven motion, where the pace is determined by you rather than the internal motor. And there’s a sled mode that leaves you pushing against resistance applied to the platform, of up to 300lb.

Maximum incluine also increases to 15 per cent, over the 12.5 per cent of the other two models. It’s a pricey upgrade, though, landing at $6,695.

All three treadmills will be available in the U.S. from October 1.

While Peloton is best known for its bike-based workouts, the Tread series is now almost a decade old. The first was announced in 2018, and there still hasn’t been one with anything like as large a display as than 32-inch original. The Peloton Tread Vision and Tread+ Vision both have 23.8-inch screens.
