Built-in iFit Live plus 1 year subscription

With iFit Live, you'll bring your workout to the next level. Experience running trail from Paris in France to Central Park in New York. Have TV's Jillian Michaels to train you, and even download new workouts.

Strong motor at 3.0HP

The motor that comes with the X7i is more than enough to power the 20" x 55" belt. We're expecting even just a 2.5HP motor but we're glad to see a 3.0HP motor

40% incline feature

While most treadmills give you a maximum 15% incline, Incline trainers give you a steep 40% incline which is by far the maximum incline available in the market today. Running uphill helps you burn calories 5 times more.

-6% decline feature

The best decline option available today is 6% and can be found in the X7i incline trainer. It simulates running downhill to give you a more exciting workout when you run.

7" full color touch screen

Using iFit Live, select routes simply with the touch of your finger using the 7" full color touch screen. In full color, you can experience what it's like to be running  in a specific place at the comfort of your home.

30 workout programs

With 30 built-in programs, you have the option not to use iFit Live. These  programs are also designed to give you the workout you need.

Cons

Poor parts and labor warranty

Having just a 1 year parts and labor warranty doesn't go too well with the $2000 you'll spend for this incline trainer. Especially since this machine is unique in design, Nordictrack could have a t least give an average warranty of 3 years on parts and 2 years on labor.

Unit weight, roller size, and belt plies not stated

Our main gripe with Nordictrack and Proform products is that they don't give details when it comes to produt weights and belt plies of certain models. We don't know if it's intentional or not but you have reasons to question the quality and durabilty of this machine.
