Performance

Let’s compare the main ingredient of a treadmill — performance.

The Horizon 7.4 AT featured a 3.5 CHP Rapid Sync Drive System that responds 33% faster than other models, while the Sole F80 built with a 3.5 HP DC-type motor.

Both the treadmills can run as fast as 12 MPH with an incline level of 15%.

The Horizon 7.4 AT offers users up to 350 lbs with a machine weight of 318 lbs, while Sole f80 can load up to 375 lbs with 278 lbs of machine weight.

If we look at the weight capacity of these machines, the Sole f80 is a little ahead. But another thing you should keep in mind is that the heavier machine will provide a better stable training experience, and that factor goes in favor of 7.4 AT.

So, choose the one according to the heaviest user at your home. Going with 50 pounds extra weight capacity than the most massive user will be the better buy.

Comfort

When we are spending about $1,500+ for a treadmill, the comfort of the machine should be top class in terms of the deck, shock absorption, and extra features.

The Horizon and Sole both the treadmills provide an extended 22″ x 60″ running platform.

The Horizon engineered a shock-absorbing 3-zone Variable Response Cushioning in their system, while Sole F80 offers Cushion Flex Whisper Deck to minimize the impact by up to 40%.

The Horizon 7.4 AT integrates a wide array of on-demand training programs and workout apps where Sole F80 provides limited numbers to start your fitness journey.

So, we can see that both the treadmills offer the SAME value in deck size and cushioning technology, but in the programming zone, the Horizon 7.4 AT comes out on top.

Convenience

Okay, let’s move to the final paint of this comparison, the convenience.

When we’re thinking about convenience, a folding treadmill would be a better option, and happily, both the treadmills come in a folding design.

Although both the machine provides a 22″ x 60″ extended deck, the overall size of this treadmills is different.

And the Horizon 7.4 AT gets the most attention as a home treadmill as it’s smaller than Sole F80.
