FEATURES
Frame
LANDICE BUILDS THE STRONGEST FRAME - The Landice frame is made of aircraft quality 6063-T6 aluminum and secured with aircraft locking hardware. Costing three times more than steel, aluminum gives our frame the strength to support a user weighing up to 500 lbs.
• Aluminum is an inert material — It does not rust.
• Aluminum is three times stronger than steel per unit weight
• Aircraft locking hardware is more reliable than welding
Drive Motor
LANDICE USES THE MOST POWERFUL DRIVE MOTOR - Landice uses a 4 HP continuous duty drive motor. Made in the USA, this motor can continuously deliver 4 HP in our treadmill without overheating.
• A 2.0 HP motor will run twice as hot as a 4 HP motor delivering the same load. The hotter a motor runs, the faster it will burn out.
• Beware of motors that depart from the continuous duty rating. The Landice motor is rated for 5 peak horsepower, which means it can deliver 5 HP for 15 minutes before it begins to overheat.
Rollers
WE USE THE HEAVIEST INSTITUTIONAL GRADE STEEL ROLLERS
• Larger rollers provide for less friction and longer life.
• Larger rollers allow us to use a large industrial bearing
• Landice uses the thickest steel tubing in the industry
• Landice rollers are crowned
Flywheel
LANDICE BUILDS A BETTER FLYWHEEL - Landice uses a state-of-the-art custom flywheel in our treadmill, providing us with the highest inertia in the industry.
• Inertia: The measure of a well-designed flywheel
• Maximize inertia: Put the weight in the outside of the flywheel
• Maximize inertia: Spin the flywheel faster
Elevation Motor
LANDICE USES THE MOST POWERFUL ELEVATION MOTOR - Put three heavy people on a Landice treadmill and try the electric elevation. You will notice that the treadmill is as quiet as it would be with no one on the treadmill.
• Our elevation motor delivers 1000 pounds of thrust
Treadbelt
LANDICE USES THE FINEST, MOST EXPENSIVE TREADBELT - Put three heavy people on a Landice treadmill and try the electric elevation. You will notice that the treadmill is as quiet as it would be with no one on the treadmill.
• Landice 4-ply treadbelts are twice as strong as our competitors
• Landice treadbelts keep friction under control
Deck
LANDICE USES THE STRONGEST DECK WITH THE LONGEST LIFE
• Landice's 1” thick decks are the strongest in the industry
• Landice's no-maintenance decks have a life of over 3000 hours perside
• We do not switch belt/deck systems until we know they work
Shock Absorption
LANDICE'S EXCLUSIVE SOFTER-THAN-GRASS VFX FLOATING DECK SYSTEM
• The VFX (Variable Flex) system features multiple shock-absorbing elements, which self-tune to a user’s stride to provide optimal performance in the strike, thrust, and kick zones.
• Absorbing shock in the vertical direction only, the VFX system is softest when the runner’s foot strikes the deck. During this strike, the system does not allow side-to-side or rocking motions, which can be harmful to joints and knees.
• Because the floating deck system can not move backwards, the system provides firm thrust and a stiffer kick zone creating a realistic “outdoor” feel regardless of where you run on the deck (front, middle, or rear).

Runner's World Magazine
Landice L8 Cardio Trainer - Simply put: The L8 can take a pounding. While many of the other units in this review are made from steel, the L8 is constructed from super-strong, aircraft-quality aluminum--delivering durability that's ideal for runners who push their equipment to the limit
ConsumerGuide Best Buy
Rarely are Best Buy selections chosen from the higher price points because value is a key consideration in any buy being the best. The Landice Road Runner L8 is an exception of sorts to this rule, because this treadmill is so unique in its design.
Runner's World Magazine
Runners World Magazine published the results of their customer satisfaction survey of over 2000 readers who owned or used a treadmill at health clubs or corporate fitness gyms. The readers were asked to rate the treadmills on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest rating. Landice recieved the highest score, which was 8.8.
Men's Journal- "Gear of the Year"
"Looking to the automotive world for inspiration, Landice created a treadmill with the brushed aluminum finish of an Audi TT, the round, red-and-white analog gauges of a ’55 T-bird, and the audio console of a Lexus SC 430. Under the hood it’s powered by a 3 hp engine that exceeds health club standards and pushes its top speed to 12 mph – a very respectable pace."
Runner's World Magazine

Landice L7 Executive Trainer - “If you want the best - and can afford it - the L7 is the bad boy. ” ... “With sold design, VFX shock-absorption system to soften impact, a rustproof aluminum frame and a four-ply belt, it's designed to handle the pounding of a lineman.” ... “But the L7 has a sensitive side, too: A magnetic foot-plant monitoring system that corrects belt speed 30,000 times per second to eliminate belt surge.
