AVANTI XFIT209 TREADMILL REVIEW

Xfit209

 

The little power horse full of horsepower!  Avanti  XFIT209 is a muscle treadmill that is sure to impress. Naturally, being an Avanti Fitness product, the XFIT209 is quality and we love it! It is very hard to walk past this treadmill without noticing its “chunkiness” and that’s a term you associate with quality engineering. Once you press start and you begin to walk, first thing you will notice is how effortlessly this machine operates. This is due to its powerful motor and large drive system components. All this in an average sized machine is what makes the XFIT209 another favourite for users with limited space.

The Suspension System:


The Avanti XFIT209 Treadmill incorporates the patented Swing Arm suspension system brought to you by one of the world’s most reputable treadmill and fitness equipment manufacturers.  Swing Arm is a unique suspension system that suspends the entire treadmill deck on 2 lever arms that literally suspend and separate the running deck from the rest of the treadmill frame. The Swing Arm Technology of treadmills is unique to Avanti Brand treadmills sold in Australia. Users that have had a history of lower back pain, shin splints, or degenerative knees will benefit from this system since the SWING ARM™ technology lessens the impact on these areas of the body. Instead of the impact sending the shock through your body, something we call "force rebound", the impact is dispersed through the swing-arm, deck, and frame of the treadmill. This creates a smooth, fluid walk or run with greatly reduced impact. The custom design allows for a soft, forgiving foot landing on the front of the belt, while providing a firm push-off from the rear. This provides an ideal surface that reduces impact and relieves pressure on your lower body muscles and tendons, in addition to your lower back.

As mentioned previously, the Avanti XFIT209 is a heavy framed machine. Manufactured in one of the worlds most reputable fitness equipment factories, the XFIT209 has a thick deck, heavy set support frame and diagonally positioned head console support made from rectangular powder coated, rust proof steel measuring 95mm x 48mm. XFIT209 is built like a brick and is made to last.

Console and Functions:


The Avanti XFIT209 features a very advanced Dot Matrix Console found on machines of commercial quality. This is what makes the XFIT209 such a great buy. Ultimately the buyer is getting a commercial grade machine at a home treadmill price.  The advanced universal Dot Matrix console consists of 12 character scroll window as well as a 16 x 8 profile window able to display graphics and program patterns. The XFIT209 is capable of reaching speeds of up to 18Km/h with a 12 point (15%) incline range. All this is quickly accessed by separate instant speed and incline buttons. The Xfit 209 features a myriad of programs multiplied by up to 12 levels of intensity. Users are able to custom program 3 courses to map out and simulate training for a particular event such as the City to Surf or the Point to Pinnacle and Burnie 10. Console is fitted with a wireless heart rate receiver to read any heart rate strap.

The Electronics:


As mentioned previously, the XFIT 209 is manufactured by one of the industry’s leaders, therefore you can expect nothing but quality and reliability. These machines are distributed globally making it truly a World Class treadmill. Components used in the XFIT209 are easily obtainable as spare parts and because the manufacturer specialises in treadmill production on a global scale, most of the components are universal. You do not need to worry about being told…”Sorry Dear, but we can’t get parts for these anymore” like is the case with so many budget brands /models sold. The XFIT209 features a powerful 3HP motor with high torque output.

Final Word:


The Avanti XFIT209 is a medium sized treadmill with tons of power under the hood. The heavy set construction of this machine gives it a commercial feel while the intuitive console allows users to make the treadmill very personal. The components used in the XFIT209 are of the highest quality. Distributed globally by high profile brands, you know you are buying a quality machine.  If you are looking for a machine in the RRP $2999 price range, the XFIT209 is a strong contender that shouldn’t be missed.
