This is not your usual treadmill. It has a whole different concept based on a wide range on the incline. You can incline the this treadmill to 50%. If you are a mountain climber this would be ideal for training.

Our Review

As some one who hikes mountains this is a very interesting concept. I can't image what it is like to exercise at a 50% incline. 15% can wipe you out in no time. It comes with a monster of a motor that should handle the most intense workout. Although for the price you may want to consider a treadmill that has a 15% incline and is half the price. At 15% you can really get your heart going.

Unable to find any reviews as to how well this machine holds up. I would go for the extended warranty at this price.
