TTR Review
After the initial walk around we could already tell that the Horizon T901 treadmill was a good looking treadmill and the treadmill console was full of features and gadgets. If you’ve been researching Horizon treadmills this treadmill is very similar to the Horizon T1201 Treadmill but is a bit higher in price.
One of the big differences between the two treadmills is the motor. The Horizon T901 treadmill offers a 2.25 CHP motor with a lifetime warranty of course. The power of the treadmill motor is more then adequate enough for walkers, joggers and moderate runners. Also, if you’re a bit taller you may feel like the running deck length is a bit shorter then the T1201. The Horizon T901 offers a 20″X55″ running surface, compared to the 20″x60″ you get with the T1201.
The Horizon T901 also offers a TriFlex™ cushioning system that provides the right mix of shock absorption and support. This is a big feature because most treadmill buyers like to have that sturdy feeling when running on the treadmill.
Lastly, Horizon has made a big breakthrough with integrating your iPod into your treadmill workouts. This treadmill offers a one-of-a-kind treadmill “holster” that charges and controls your iPod!
The T901 makes it easier to push to a new fitness goal. An iPod® dock charges as it plays your workout play list, while the wider speed and incline range lets you take your workout to new levels.
TTR Recommedation
We know the the T901 has all the features and warranty to back itself up but does it really perform when used for its sole purpose? Absolutely. Overall this treadmill is perfectly priced and offers more then most mid-range treadmills offer. With a motor that offers plently of horsepower, a sturdy running deck and a juiced up iPod what else do you need? If you’re looking for a treadmill under $1,000, the Horizon T901 Treadmill might be just what you’re looking for.
