GoKawiilPeloton unveils $2,195 Tread Flex, its cheapest folding treadmill yet
Peloton introduced the Tread Flex, a $2,195 foldable treadmill with caster wheels, a locking mechanism, and a slow two-cylinder deck release that takes about 25 seconds to lower. The company also renamed its existing machines as the Tread Vision ($3,495) and Tread Plus Vision ($6,695), giving both minor design refinements like improved deck cushioning.
By adding a lower-cost, space-saving option, Peloton is trying to widen its customer base beyond dedicated fitness enthusiasts to those with limited home space or smaller budgets. The move also signals Peloton's continued push to diversify hardware tiers as it looks to stabilize revenue after years of post-pandemic decline.
- Tread Flex costs $2,195 and folds to save 50% more floor space than Peloton's other treadmills.
- It lacks a camera, so it can't support all of Peloton IQ's AI-driven workout features.
- Existing Tread and Tread Plus models were renamed Tread Vision and Tread Plus Vision with minor upgrades.
