Smooth 9.25X Treadmill Reviews

3.0 HP Continuous Duty Motor

Continuous duty horsepower ratings are the amount of power a motor will produce "continuously" at a given RPM (revolutions per minute). Continuous duty HP is the "working power" of a treadmill motor, providing constant power to the drive belt. The higher the continuous output, the less strain on the motor, resulting in longer life. Our motors are built for endurance and reliability and are backed with an industry leading Lifetime warranty.

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM Circuit Board)

PWM is and advanced electronics technology that is found on premium treadmills. This technology provides the following advantages:

Frame

Smooth Fitness Uni-Weld frame is used by many of the top treadmill manufacturers, including Life Fitness, Precor, and Trotter, and of course, Smooth Fitness.

Elevation

Elevation mechanisms come in many different forms. The most effective and durable elevation assemblies are worm-gear actuator driven electronic elevation motors.

Worm-gear electronic elevation systems use a separate, powerful motor to elevate the treadmill while in use. Typical elevation motors will have a thrust value from 400 to 1000 pounds, therefore pushing up the deck without any hesitation while exercising.

Most manufacturers mount their actuators backwards, in essence pushing up the deck, which is exactly the opposite of what an actuator is designed to do. Our Smooth 9.25 treadmill features a patented actuator elevation system, which pulls the treadmill up. Therefore, our machines have approximately 2000 lbs. of pulling capacity, which is why they operate so quietly. They will last forever!

Rollers

2.5" diameter rollers with a rust resistant steel finish and high quality Japanese bearings press sealed into each end. Hardened,1.9 Carbon steel wall construction. The longer length on the tube places LESS stress on the bearing, extending the life. Only the Smooth 9.25 treadmills have rubber sleeves on both the front and rear roller, which allow for less tightening of the treadbelt, and thus much longer wear on the belt, deck and roller bearing.

Rollers are packed with double bearings to extend the life of both the bearings and rollers up to 300%

Belt

4-Ply quality belt, adding extra cushioning to reduce impact and stress. 100% Polyester low friction sole backing with Black PVC non-slip beam top. Black PVC (poly vinyl chloride) is the industry standard for all treadmill belts. High wear and tensile strength help keep this belt a top performer for several years. The 100% Polyester backing is "whisper weaved" for very low friction, and thus a very quiet belt in use.

Smooth 9.25X treadbelts are unique in that we use a proprietary, non-slip tread pattern, which does not TRAP dirt into the square grooves that an ordinary treadbelt would have. Easy to clean and more durable, our treadbelts have a higher quality look and feel.

The 20-degree seamless diagonally fused belt is incorporated to help reduce noise. A belt with a perpendicular or straight across splice causes excessive noise when the belt crosses over the rollers on each end, creating a "thumping" noise.

This is the highest quality 4ply belt in the industry. The belt is pre-lubricated with silicon and will not need additional lubricating at delivery.

Deck

1" Thick, high-compression pressboard made out of particulate and fibered Douglas Fir wood. The laminate black top, also known as a phenolic deck coating, is a micro-screen, lubricate trapping laminate. Phenolic decks have a micro-screen that acts as a net for the silicon lubricant, thus making the silicon "catch" within the "micro-valleys" that are created by the micro-screen. Our decks are reversible and laminated with wax on both ends.
