NordicTrack commercial treadmills come with a 30 day iFit membership included. Run around the world.
The SOLE has limited options with its APP, a 10-inch monochrome LCD screen, while the NordicTrack APP allows for iFIT with Access to 16,000 iFit on demand workouts and access to google maps, and iFit coach. A far more robust system. iFit Coach provides interactive personal training. NordicTrack comes with a free 30 day iFit membership. The NordicTrack comes with a large 14-inch color touchscreen. Only the NordicTrack has a 3% decline, which simulates downhill running. The SOLE on its behalf has a heavier max weight at 400 lbs (NordicTrack may be conservative in its Max Weight rating), and lifetime motor warranty. Below is a comparison chart of the differences between the two treadmill models.

Sole F85 Control Console with 10-inch screen & 10 programs.
The NordicTrack 2450 features a larger 14-inch HD touchscreen with iFit and access to thousands of interactive workouts
SOLE F85 Vs. NordicTrack 2450 Console Comparison: The large 14-inch color HD touchscreen of the 2450 is superior to the SOLE’s 10-inch monochrome screen, and is capable of running iFit for thousands of running programs, interactive training, iFit Coach, google maps, and more. The SOLE F85 has only 10 built-in programs, the NordicTrack has 50. Both consoles are backlit (ideal for dimly lit rooms). Both consoles are Bluetooth® and Wifi enabled with APP, but the SOLE APP does not have the iFit type features. For safety, both have an emergency stop button, and cord.
Bottom Line: The NordicTrack Commercial 2450 treadmill has about the same physical specs as the SOLE F85, offering a large 4.0 HP motor, and wide running rack. The big difference is in the NordicTrack’s large 14-inch color touchscreen with iFit. A free 30 day iFit membership is included. The Nordictrack 2450 also has 3% decline, which simulates downhill running and is not on the SOLE. The NordicTrack 2450 is about $300 more expensive than Sole F85. Either treadmill will provide a solid workout for all users, including taller users (wide and long running belt), and is great for runners. However, we feel that the NordicTrack 2450 is a better value given the better screen, iFit capability, and decline capability.
