adidas Treadmills Review
The adidas treadmill range is designed under licence by RFE International, the same group behind Reebok home fitness equipment, and sold in the UK through retailers rather than direct. Five current models run from the £499 T-1 folding treadmill to the £1,799 T-800 incline trainer, and every one connects to Zwift and Kinomap over Bluetooth with no mandatory subscription. Here is every current adidas treadmill, compared and assessed.

The adidas range splits into three clear tiers. The T-1 and T-25 are folding machines for smaller spaces, the T-23 and T-700 are fixed-deck runners built around stronger motors and bigger belts, and the T-800 is a specialist incline trainer that climbs to gradients no conventional treadmill can match. All five connect to Zwift and Kinomap over Bluetooth with no subscription required for the basics, and every model except the T-23 also supports the adidas Console+ companion app. The table below shows how they line up before we go model by model.

Speed note. adidas lists speeds in km/h, and some retailer listings round the mph figures up. The mph figures throughout this page are the accurate conversions: 15 km/h is 9.3 mph, 19 km/h is 11.8 mph, 20 km/h is 12.4 mph and 22 km/h is 13.7 mph.
Every adidas treadmill, reviewed
adidas T-1 Folding Treadmill
Budget connected folding treadmill
£699 £499
Sold through Sweatband. Folds to just 31 cm high for under-bed storage.
View at Sweatband →- Top speed 9.3 mph (15 km/h)
- Incline 12 levels, power
- Motor 1.25 CHP (2 HP peak)
- Deck 120 x 46 cm
- Folds Yes, 31 cm folded height
- Max user 120 kg
The entry point to the range at Sweatband and the lightest machine in the line-up at 53.5 kg. The T-1 folds down to just 31 cm high for under-bed storage and pairs a quiet 1.25 CHP brushless motor (2 HP peak) with 12 levels of power incline, a feature most budget folding machines skip entirely. The rotating dial console offers 16 programmes and connects to Zwift, Kinomap and adidas Console+, with a 30-day Kinomap trial included.
- Power incline at a budget price point
- Folds to just 31 cm high
- Zwift and Kinomap at the entry level
- Quiet brushless motor
- 9.3 mph ceiling limits it to jogging
- Compact 120 x 46 cm deck restricts longer strides
- 120 kg user limit
Verdict. Buy it for walking, incline walking and light jogging in a small space. Runners should start at the T-25. Read the full adidas T-1 review →
adidas T-25 Bluetooth Folding Treadmill
Best all-round folding adidas
Drops to £674.10 with code EXTRA10
£999 £749
Sold through Sweatband. Soft-drop folding deck, 30-day Kinomap trial included.
View at Sweatband →- Top speed 11.8 mph (19 km/h)
- Incline 15 levels, power
- Motor 1.5 CHP (2.5 HP peak)
- Deck 145 x 54 cm
- Folds Soft-drop fold
- Max user 135 kg
The sweet spot of the folding pair. The T-25 steps up to a 145 x 54 cm deck with Ultra Series Cushioning, 15 levels of power incline and 31 programmes, while the soft-drop mechanism folds the deck away between runs. At 11.8 mph (19 km/h) it covers everything up to fast interval work, and the wide 54 cm belt is unusually generous for a folding machine at this price.
- Wide 54 cm belt for a folding treadmill
- 15 incline levels with quick controls
- Zwift and Kinomap with 30-day Kinomap trial
- Soft-drop fold with transport wheels
- 1.5 CHP continuous rating suits steady running more than daily intense use
- Requires assembly, unlike the T-1
- 11.8 mph cap for very fast runners
Verdict. The folding adidas most buyers should choose, and the natural rival to similarly priced flat-folds on our best folding treadmills list. Read the full adidas T-25 review →
adidas T-23 Bluetooth Treadmill
Fixed-deck value performance
Drops to £989.10 with code EXTRA10
£2,000 £1,099
Sold through Sweatband. Listed as very low stock at the time of writing.
View at Sweatband →- Top speed 12.4 mph (20 km/h)
- Incline 15 levels, power
- Motor 4.5 HP brushless
- Deck 150 x 52 cm
- Folds No, fixed deck
- Max user 150 kg
The T-23 borrows its build philosophy from commercial machines: a fixed running deck for stability, a 4.5 HP brushless motor that runs quieter and cooler than a standard unit, and a 150 kg user limit. The 150 x 52 cm deck pairs an orthopaedic belt with NRG cushioning, and the console offers 24 pre-set, 3 custom and 3 target programmes. At its current price it undercuts the T-700 by £100 while giving up little beyond three incline levels and a slightly smaller deck.
- Fixed deck is noticeably more stable at pace
- Strong 4.5 HP brushless motor
- Orthopaedic belt with NRG cushioning
- 150 kg maximum user weight
- Does not fold, permanent footprint
- Stock has been intermittent, currently very low
- T-700 adds more incline and a bigger deck for £100
- No adidas Console+ support, Zwift and Kinomap only
Verdict. Outstanding value while stock lasts, but check availability before committing. If it is gone, the T-700 is the safer buy. Read the full adidas T-23 review →
adidas T-700 Treadmill
Best overall adidas treadmill
Drops to £1,079.10 with code EXTRA10
£2,000 £1,199
Sold through Sweatband with 25-year frame and 10-year motor cover, plus a 1-year extended warranty promotion.
View at Sweatband →- Top speed 12.4 mph (20 km/h)
- Incline 18 levels, power
- Motor 2.5 CHP DC (4 HP peak)
- Deck 154 x 55 cm
- Folds No, fixed deck
- Max user 150 kg
The newest machine in the range and our pick of the line-up. The T-700 has the largest deck of any adidas treadmill at 154 x 55 cm, the most incline levels at 18, and a rotating dial console with Bluetooth speakers, USB-C charging and 36 programmes. Like every current adidas treadmill it carries 25 years of frame cover, 10 years on the motor and 2 years parts and labour, and Sweatband adds a 1-year extended warranty promotion on top.
- Largest deck in the range at 154 x 55 cm
- 18 incline levels for varied hill work
- Rotating dial console with 36 programmes
- USB-C charging and Bluetooth speakers
- Does not fold, needs a permanent spot
- 2.5 CHP continuous rating trails the T-23’s brushless unit on paper
- New arrival, so long-term reliability is unproven
Verdict. The adidas treadmill most runners should buy: the biggest deck, the most incline range and the longest warranty in the line-up. Read the full adidas T-700 review →
adidas T-800 High Incline Treadmill
Specialist incline trainer
Drops to £1,619.10 with code EXTRA10
£2,000 £1,799
Sold through Sweatband with a free gift promotion at the time of writing.
View at Sweatband →- Top speed 13.7 mph (22 km/h)
- Incline -6% to 20%, Climb Mode to 40%
- Motor 3 CHP brushless (5 HP peak)
- Deck 152 x 52 cm
- Folds No, fixed deck
- Max user 150 kg
Nothing else in this price bracket does what the T-800 does. In running mode it covers -6% decline to 20% incline at up to 13.7 mph (22 km/h), and its dedicated Climb Mode raises the deck to a 40% gradient at walking speeds of up to 5.6 mph (9 km/h) for stair-climber-style strength work. Six climbing programmes sit alongside 36 running programmes, and hill protocols such as 12-3-30 barely scratch what the gradient range allows.
- Unmatched 40% Climb Mode gradient
- -6% decline for downhill simulation
- Fastest adidas at 13.7 mph
- 3 CHP brushless motor (5 HP peak)
- Priciest machine in the range
- Climb Mode caps speed, it is for walking gradients
- Overkill if hill training is not the priority
Verdict. A specialist buy for hikers, hill runners and incline-walking devotees. Everyone else gets more treadmill for less with the T-700. Read the full adidas T-800 review →

Common questions about adidas treadmills
Are adidas treadmills any good?
Yes, with the usual caveat that the brand name is licensed rather than factory-owned. The hardware is designed by RFE International, an established fitness equipment group, and the current range holds up well on specification: brushless motors on most models, wide cushioned decks, and Zwift and Kinomap connectivity across the board with no mandatory subscription. At current retailer pricing the mid and upper models are strong value against similarly specified rivals.
Who makes adidas treadmills?
adidas home fitness equipment is designed and distributed under licence by RFE International, a UK-based company that also holds the licence for Reebok home fitness equipment. adidas itself does not manufacture treadmills. In the UK the range is sold through retailers including Sweatband, Argos, Currys and Decathlon rather than direct from adidas.
Do adidas treadmills work with Zwift?
Yes. All five current models, the T-1, T-25, T-23, T-700 and T-800, connect to Zwift and Kinomap over Bluetooth, and all except the T-23 also support the adidas Console+ companion app. A basic Zwift run experience does not require the treadmill to have a screen, since your phone or tablet sits in the integrated device holder. A 30-day Kinomap trial is included with current models.
What happened to the adidas T-19 treadmill?
The T-19, T-19i and T-19x were the previous generation of adidas treadmills and have been superseded by the current range, so they are no longer widely stocked by UK retailers. If you are weighing up leftover T-19 stock from a third-party seller, compare it against the T-25 first: at current sale prices the newer machine offers a wider deck, stronger cushioning and full app connectivity for similar money, along with a fresh warranty.
What warranty do adidas treadmills come with?
Every current adidas treadmill at Sweatband carries 25 years of frame cover, 10 years on the motor and 2 years parts and labour, and a 1-year extended warranty promotion runs on selected models such as the T-700 and T-23. Always confirm the exact cover at the point of sale, as it is retailer-registered rather than handled direct by adidas.
How do adidas treadmills compare to JTX?
They take opposite approaches. JTX designs its own machines and sells direct with an in-home engineer warranty as standard, which is the stronger ownership experience. adidas machines are sold through retailers and tend to offer stronger headline specifications per pound during sales, such as the T-700’s 18 incline levels and 154 x 55 cm deck at £1,199. If after-sales support is your priority, lean JTX; if specification per pound is, the adidas mid-range is hard to argue with. See our full JTX range comparison for the other side.
