 Essentially, both Noble Pro treadmills are the same. They both have exactly the same base unit. The only difference is with the 8i there is a 10-inch touchscreen which adds a few extra functions. The Noble Pro treadmill has a top speed of 22 kmph. Fast enough, for most people it works out at a 243 km or a mile at 423 km. It has 20 levels of incline which equates to around a 12% incline grade. The motor is 3CHP. CHP stands for Continuous Horsepower and in treadmill terms that is one of the most important metrics you need to look for when buying a treadmill with a solid motor. Anything from 2.5 cph upwards should be able to prevent that slowdown you see when your foot impacts the treadmill belt. The running surface of the Noble Pro is a meter and a half long and half a meter just over half a meter wide so plenty of room and it will hold 135 kilograms maximum weight. Now the 10-inch screen on the Elite 8i is fantastic. It does have apps like Netflix or YouTube that you can watch while you're running and you can plug headphones in or you can use the built-in speakers. You can also of course control incline and speed from the touchscreen but you can also do that as well from the buttons built into the base unit. However the screen is not essential and even if you have the 8.0 version of the Noble Pro treadmill base you still have access to the Kinney app. Now both treadmills come with a lifetime subscription to the Kinney app which allows you a lot more functionality in your treadmill running experience. For example you can create your own custom workouts or follow pre-programmed workouts in the Kinney app which allows Kinney to take control of the speed and incline of your treadmill run allowing you to concentrate on the workout itself and you're running rather than having to worry about the manual operation of the treadmill. I use the Kinney app every Tuesday and Thursday when I do the film my run 500 climbing session live on Zwift live on the Zwift run channel on YouTube if you want to go and check it out. What we do is we essentially duplicate the Zwift workout in the Kinney app and then we run them in sync with each other. So it appears essentially as though Zwift is controlling the treadmill's incline and speed whereas in fact it's not it's Kinney. Talking about Zwift though you can link both treadmills direct to the Zwift app and the connection is absolutely rock solid. Honestly using a foot pod is fine for Zwift but once you have tried a smart treadmill you will never go back. Honestly the feeling is so much more satisfying when you're running at 10 kilometers an hour say on the treadmill and that is replicated exactly the same on the Zwift app. Rather than the rather fluctuating experience you get with the Zwift pod or the stride say where the speed is almost always a little bit slower and jumps around a lot it's so much more satisfying on a smart treadmill. As I say we have had the Elite 8i for a couple of years now we've had no problems with it whatsoever it always connects to Zwift it's really easy to use and it's also a really well-built sturdy heavy machine that feels like it's going to last for absolutely years. Now of course I am a noble pro ambassador so you can take what I say with a pinch of salt it may all just be sales patter however what I recommend to you is to go to the Zwift runners facebook page if you're not a member you can just join and ask in there for treadmill recommendations you don't even need to mention noble pro and I guarantee you you will not hear a bad word said about the noble pro treadmills and plenty of regular users who have no vested interest telling you how great the noble pro smart treadmills are what you will also hear is how great the company itself is so they are constantly engaged with their customers and the Zwift community as well always asking for feedback on their product looking to know how they can make their product better how they can improve their customers treadmill running experience there is also a fantastic discord channel where you will often find if you ask a question you'll get Stefan the boss of the entire company personally responding to your query so that's the noble pro treadmills for you if you're looking to buy the best value smart treadmills on the market today those are the ones you want to go for if today is the 30th of september 2023 when you're watching this we have a flash sale on today where you can get 150 pounds off the eight eye and 100 pounds off the 8.0 go and click the link in the description below to get that deal today if you are watching this in the future you can still get a discount by clicking that link in the description that is my special code for getting you some money off the noble pro treadmill range while you're down there why not consider subscribing to the film my run channel we're really looking to grow the channel and your support would be really important and really appreciated thank you very much for watching and we'll see you on the start line next time
