FitScore Duel
Both scores use the weights of our best value treadmill guide: performance, durability, comfort and affordability 20% each, practicality and features 10% each. Value buyers want a machine that runs well, holds up and feels good underfoot without overspending, so those four count most. The F63 is not ranked in that guide, but its score uses the same weights. The two tie on performance and affordability, and the F63 leads on practicality and features, but the 7.0 AT leads on durability and comfort, which explains the 3.4-point gap.

Motor, Speed and Incline
Both list a 3 HP motor, a 0.5–12 mph range and up to 15% incline, so neither has a spec advantage for walking, jogging or steady running. The F63 uses a brushless motor, which Sole says is built for smoother, quieter operation; the 7.0 AT uses Horizon’s Rapid Sync motor with QuickDial controls for faster changes.
Independent testers timed the 7.0 AT at roughly 18 seconds from 1 to 12 mph and about 16 seconds to reach 15% incline, and see it handling a few miles of running a day. We have no test data yet for the 2026 F63, so its performance rests on the listing.
Winner: Tie
Deck and Cushioning
Both have a 20 × 60-inch running surface, which suits jogging and running for most users. The 7.0 AT uses 3-zone Variable Response cushioning; the F63 lists an 18 mm cushioned surface.
Testers found the 7.0 AT’s deck solid and stable, with cushioning softer than most machines in its class, and one tester found it comfortable for a tall runner. On a fast run, some testers bumped the fixed QuickDial arms, so check your stride width against them.
Winner: Horizon 7.0 AT
Console, Programs and Apps
The F63 has a 4-window LED display, dial-style speed and incline controls in the hand grips, 10 preset, 2 user and 2 heart rate programs, a Bluetooth heart rate receiver, dual Bluetooth speakers, USB-C charging, a tablet holder and the SOLE+ app for on-demand workouts.
The 7.0 AT has a 7.25-inch LCD, 8 programs, an included Bluetooth chest strap, Apple Watch syncing and third-party app support for Peloton, Strava and Zwift, which require their own subscriptions. Testers describe its console as easy to read but dated, with underpowered speakers and a weak fan.
