Sole F65 Review (2026): Sturdy Folding Treadmill for Joggers

The F65 uses an alloy steel frame, a long running deck and a release-lever fold. At 267 lb it is heavy for a folding treadmill, which keeps it steady when you jog but makes it a machine you place once.

Full hands-on tests of this exact model are still scarce. Reviewers who assessed it consistently point to a sturdy steel frame, and one called the build strong for the feature set. On a closely related previous-generation Sole, testers described a heavy-duty, commercial-style frame and simple assembly, but noticed slight movement at top sprint speeds. Early owner feedback praises the build quality, and owners also describe it as quiet and smooth.

Bottom line: built heavy and stable, best left in one spot.

The listing specifies a 3.0 HP motor and a 0.5–12 mph range. That covers walking, steady jogging and faster intervals, with headroom for daily use.

For joggers, 12 mph is more than enough. Most will spend their time well below the top speed, where a motor of this size is not working hard. On previous Sole models, testers found speed and incline changes on the slow side, which feels controlled for steady runs but less convenient for short intervals.

Bottom line: more power and speed than most joggers will need.

The running surface measures 22 × 60 inches according to the listing. That length fits a full jogging stride even for tall users, and the width gives room to drift without hitting the side rails.

Reviewers single out the 22-inch width, wider than on the previous generation, as a plus for longer strides and larger runners. Sole lists a cushioned deck without adjustable settings, so the feel is fixed, and testers of earlier Sole models describe that feel as firm. If you prefer a soft, springy deck, try a Sole in person before you commit.

Bottom line: long and wide enough for comfortable jogging.

Incline goes up to 15%, more than the 12% of the NordicTrack T Series 10 and Horizon T202. There is no decline.

Built-in programs include Manual, Hill, Fat Burn, Cardio, Strength and HIIT, plus two user programs and two heart rate control programs.

Bottom line: a wide incline range and enough programs to train without an app.

The console is a 9-inch white backlit LCD. Bluetooth connects speakers, heart rate monitors and fitness apps, and Sole lists the SOLE+ app for this model.

No paid plan is required to use the console programs, and one reviewer saw the lack of a touchscreen as a strength for buyers who want to skip subscriptions. Others found the display small and missed streaming. Some owners say the handrail buttons are placed where they are easy to press by accident, and one reviewer noted the utility tray may get in the way of long strides. If you want a large touchscreen with built-in classes, the ProForm Pro 9000 has a 16-inch screen but uses an iFIT membership.

Bottom line: a simple console that leaves screen time to your own device.

Assembled, it needs 77 × 36 inches of floor space and stands 55 inches tall. Folded, the depth drops to 48 inches, but the deck rises to 66 inches.

The step-up height is 8 inches, so tall users should check headroom before buying. Reviewers flag the bulky, heavy footprint even when folded, and owners say it is hard to move once in place. A mat under the frame helps cut noise and vibration in upstairs rooms.

Bottom line: it folds, but it is still a full-size treadmill.

The F65 ships by freight with curbside delivery only, and the carrier schedules the delivery window with you, so plan help to bring the box inside. Optional assembly services are handled by a provider that is not affiliated with Sole.

The warranty covers the frame and motor for life, parts for 1 year and labor for 90 days. That is strong on the core components and average on parts and labor.

Bottom line: long protection where it counts, with freight delivery to plan around.
