Motor and speed: from walking to sprinting

The heart of the Technum 8.0 is the DC motor with 4.5 hp peak power and 2 hp continuous power. That continuous power is what counts during your workout: it keeps the belt running evenly, even when you keep going longer or step up your pace. You train steplessly from 1 to 20 km/h, so whether you walk to recover, run a steady endurance session or sprint intervals, the treadmill follows smoothly. The wide range makes it suitable for runners from beginner to advanced.

Automatic incline for hill training

With the automatically adjustable incline up to 12% you add an extra dimension to your training. Across 15 levels you set the angle at the push of a button, so you switch smoothly from flat to climb in the middle of a programme without stopping. Incline training raises the intensity without you having to run faster, which challenges your legs and fitness that bit more. That way you simulate outdoor routes with hills, right from home.

Damping and running comfort

The HyperCushion damping system absorbs the shock at every foot landing. That makes running on the Technum 8.0 softer than on a hard surface and keeps longer sessions comfortable. The 140 by 46 cm running surface gives plenty of room for a natural stride, even at higher speeds. You can set the LED lane markings along the running surface in different colours, so you see your position on the belt at a glance.

Display, programmes and app training

The Technum 8.0 has a SmartTurn twin display: two screens that show your key data, such as distance, speed, time, incline, heart rate and calories, at the same time and clearly. You measure your heart rate via the hand sensors in the grips or wirelessly with a Bluetooth chest strap. Via Bluetooth you also connect with the apps Kinomap, Zwift and Hammer Workouts, letting you run virtual routes, train interactively or follow a structured plan. If you prefer to train without your phone, you choose from 21 built-in programmes, and a rotatable tablet holder keeps your screen within reach.

Folding and space

Not everyone has a dedicated training space, and the Technum 8.0 takes that into account. Thanks to the space-saving folding function you fold the treadmill up after your workout, after which the built-in transport wheels help you move and store it. Unfolded the treadmill measures 170 cm in length; folded it takes up clearly less depth at around 120 cm. That makes this a practical foldable treadmill for anyone who trains at home but does not want to give up the space permanently.

Who is the Technum 8.0 for?

The Technum 8.0 suits the home athlete who wants more than the occasional walk. The wide speed range, the automatic incline and the sturdy motor make it suitable for varied goals: building fitness, losing weight, endurance running or interval training. With a maximum user weight of 135 kg and its solid build, it is made for regular use. Do reserve a spot where you can set it up and use it; even though it folds, you need room to move while running.

Good to know

The Technum 8.0 sits in the serious home segment and is intended for anyone who trains structurally. If you only want a compact walking pad for under your desk, this is a more extensive and larger machine than you need. If you want a full treadmill on which you can run, climb and do intervals, with app support and the option to store it afterwards, it is exactly on point. Bear in mind that a treadmill with this motor and build has a substantial weight of 77 kg.
