Comments

• The Nordictrack X7i incline trainer is the top of the line offering from Nordictrack's lineup of incline trainers. Compared to the cheaper X5i and X3, the X7i excels in almost every category. For one, the decline is even steeper than the X5 coming in at 6%. We also see an upgraded motor coming in at 3.0 CHP to ensure smoother operation. We also see an upgraded console which is especially important because having it greatly enhances the iFit Live feature which is also newly introduced in lately 2009. The console combined with iFit Live and the incline/decline options will allow a very different training environment than what most treadmills provide because it is better at simulating the running environment outside. Yes, it even beats out many of the commercial treadmills in this department. Unfortunately, the $1999 price makes it a bit hard to pull the trigger. At $1599, it's worth every penny.
