Sole S73 Treadmill (Discontinued)

Overview
UPDATE: The Sole S73 is no longer available, replaced by the new and improved S77 model. Check it out here.
The Sole S73 Treadmill is a non folding treadmill that features a super powerful motor and generous running space. The S73 model is the non folding alternative of the F83 treadmill and the only difference between them is the smaller running space on S73 (S73 has a 55″ length belt while F83 has 58”).
The Sole S73 treadmill offers a great value for the money you spend with this acquisition and this is definitely one of the best buys for the $1000-$2000 price range.
