Some corrections/clarifications - The length of the running deck is 70 inches not 170 inches. - 275 lbs is the weight of the unit. - 450 lbs boxed up.

The best part of this news is that since Wahoo and Zwift are now friends, this hopefully means Zwift running will get a little bit more love and maybe some new features, maybe a few more levels....

Brilliant and ingenious. This won’t just interest those already using treadmills as part of their training. I think this will pull in those that wouldn’t normally consider treadmills. Game changer with the free run mode

Wait, was everyone but me in Boston? Awesome video. Hope you had an amazing trip!!!

Look at the bright side Matt, you got to enjoy the weekend eating ice cream instead. I mean, I hope you ate ice cream.

Thank you for another great video 👏. Will this treadmill concept work in fitness centers/Big box gym type 🤔?

That’s a great question and will have to check with Wahoo on their plan with commercial gyms. My understanding is this is direct to consumer treadmill given the feature set runners will need to get familiar with and commercial gyms might not be comfortable making it widely available to everyone. I could be totally wrong with my assumption though :)

This is the 2nd first hand review I have seen. Both reviews are great and go in depth on the specifics of how the treadmill works and how it will change the treadmill market. I can't wait to try one of these out in the run free mode and see it working in action. I look forward to this treadmill becoming available. The down side is as we know that with Wahoo, many 1st generation items don't always preform well at first and it may take a generation or two to iron out the kinks of what looks could really be a game changer in the treadmill market.

My 800$ (I've bought it new for 650$ years ago) Domyos T900C can go up to 18kms per hour.

It's a game changer for sure!!! I would love to buy it even at $5k but alas the peloton treadmill stares at me as does my wife who is on the peloton system and I'm on the wahoo system. Can't have 2 treadmills😩

The good news is you still have time until the kickr run is available to order.

Is Zwift Run still free?

So far it is free

For me the free mode is amazing.. but not at that price…

$500?

Ugh… good catch

Up until now, the main argument about the use of treadmills, was that you can run at a set pace and nail your workout without any distraction like checking your watch every few seconds to see if you are on pace. With this treadmill, every youtuber raves about the free mode, which is the opposite of the above and you can ran as you like...just like you do when you get out of your front door to run without purspose. And by the way you can run free on every treadmill by spending around 200 msec to press a button or touch a paddle. There must be a registration in wahoo's accounting books, under marketing expenses, called "youtubers flight tickets"

You bring up a good point. Traditional treadmills have been the go-to for consistent pace training, but this was partly due to limitations in technology and innovation by traditional treadmill companies. And let’s not forget lawyers. I also want to clarify something important about my visit to test the KICKR Run. Even though It's common for companies to invite KZreadrs to test out their products, I funded the trip entirely out of my own pocket. All travel and related expenses were covered by me, not Wahoo or any other company. My goal was to provide you with firsthand, unbiased insights about this new piece of tech and other tech. I try to maintain transparency and integrity in my reviews.

@@JibbaJabber I would like you to re-evaluate your information process capabilities because you have a problem. To put this into perspective l will use the example below: "jazznroll5" says "smartbiketrainers" killed person A. "Smartbiketrainers" says that he didn't kill person A because he is a nice guy and he doesn't go around killing people. Then "jibbajabber" comes and says "jazznroll5" has been pwned, which means that without any evidence but the word of "smartbiketrainers", he chose to believe "smartbiketrainers". So, jibbajabber, do you get what is the problem with your information process capabilities? Regarding "smartbiketrainers" and similar youtubers, i could not care less if he gets free trips or is in the payrol of any company. I treat ALL youtube sport equipment videos as informecials or a pass time at best.

Sorry 70 inches not 170. Not sure where that 100 came from 🤷🏻‍♂️

If wahoo is reading, you guys need to bring out a GOOD walking treadmill for desk use or even just a whole desk/treadmill unit. The market is full of complete garbage for home office treadmills
