Spirit XT685 treadmill at a glance

• 4.0 HP PowerMax motor: plenty of power for running at up to 19 km/h.
• Generous 56 x 152.5 cm running surface: you run with a natural stride without worrying about stepping off the belt.
• Electronic incline with 15 levels: simulate hills and raise the intensity without having to run faster.
• Quick keys and rocker levers: change speed and incline with a single press, handy during intervals.
• Bluetooth FTMS: connect Zwift, Kinomap, the Spirit Fit app, Bluetooth headphones or a heart rate monitor.
• 22.8 cm colour LCD: clear workout data at a glance, even with a tablet in the holder.
• Pre lubricated 2 ply belt: the belt is pre treated with a special wax that reduces friction between belt and deck.

Motor, speed and incline

The 4.0 HP PowerMax motor drives the belt from 0.8 to 19 km/h, in increments of 0.16 km/h. This lets you set your pace precisely, from a brisk walk to a fast 5 km. With the electronic incline from 0 to 15 levels you train uphill, which makes your workout harder without you having to run faster.

Direct keys for speed and incline on the console and ergonomically placed rocker levers by the handrails make changes easy. That is exactly what you want in the last rep of an interval block, when you do not want to hunt for the right button.

Stable and comfortable running

The 56 x 152.5 cm running surface sits on a 25 mm phenolic deck and runs over 76 mm rollers. A stability bar in the frame and handrails with steel supports give you a secure feeling, even at higher speeds. The step up height is 17.5 cm.

Console, programmes and connectivity

The backlit 22.8 cm colour LCD shows your performance clearly. With the TrainIQ system you choose from 18 programmes: manual, hill, fat burn, cardio, strength, HIIT, Fusion, 5K, 10K, target time, target distance, target calories, 2 custom programmes and 4 heart rate controlled programmes.

Via Bluetooth FTMS you connect the XT685 to apps such as Zwift and Kinomap. Bluetooth headphones or a wireless heart rate monitor (Bluetooth or 5 kHz) are also easy to pair. The removable tablet holder swivels and tilts, so you can follow a series or class while your workout data stays visible. A USB charging port, built in Bluetooth speakers, an adjustable fan, dual bottle holders and generous storage compartments make long workouts comfortable.

What power supply does the XT685 need?
