In this Spec Review, we’ll look at the new EXP 10i treadmill from NordicTrack. The NordicTrack EXP 10i is a newer model in the NordicTrack T-Series lineup. This treadmill offers many of the features found in the Commercial Series line at a more affordable price. The 10i has a 10” touchscreen, a 20” wide by 60” long running surface, FlexSelect cushioning, and a 3.5 horsepower motor that will power speeds up to 12mph. The 10i also inclines to 12% and declines to a -3%, so it provides extensive training variables as well. The 300lb user capacity makes it a workable option for most users.
The new NordicTrack 10i has wireless connectivity, so it will sync with Bluetooth headphones. iFit also has automated controls which means while you enjoy a program, the incline and speed will adjust for you which allows you to walk hands-free. The 3.5 horsepower motor is also strong enough to support walking, jogging and running. iFit comes free for the first 30 days with up to five profiles for different users in your home. The Flex Select cushioning also reduces impact and joint discomfort from walking or jogging. We find the 10i to be a welcome addition to the NordicTrack lineup and offers a good combination of features at a great price.

Bottom Line Review: NordicTrack EXP 10i Treadmill
The NordicTrack EXP 10i is one of the newer treadmills in their lineup and comes with some impressive specs. This affordable, folding treadmill works well for those who want to jog or run in the comfort of their own home. You can access any of iFit’s full library of training videos on the 10” touchscreen. The EXP10i has heart rate sensors in the horizontal grips so if you want to track your heart rate you can do that as well. This machine is ideal for those who need something simple and efficient with impressive tech at a reasonable price. It has a lower overall weight than comparable models, so this works well for those who live on an upper floor.
