Peloton has officially announced three new treadmills today: the Peloton Tread Flex, Peloton Tread Vision, and Peloton Tread+ Vision.
All three go on sale in the United States and Canada on October 1, 2026, replacing the Cross Training Tread and Cross Training Tread+ in Peloton’s lineup. Peloton is currently collection emails on their website for a “waitlist” ahead of the device officially going on sale.
The Peloton Tread Flex is a foldable treadmill – and is also a lower cost Treadmill for Peloton.
Prices for the new treadmills are:
- Peloton Tread Flex – $2,195 USD / $2,995 CAD
- Peloton Tread Vision – $3,495 USD / $4,395 CAD
- Peloton Tread+ Vision – $6,695 USD / $8,395 CAD
All three feature a swivel screen and Peloton IQ, but there are other differences between the models.
Peloton Tread Flex
Tread Flex is Peloton’s first folding treadmill and their lowest-priced treadmill to date.
At $2,195, it costs $1,100 less than the $3,295 Cross Training Tread it replaces at the bottom of Peloton’s Tread lineup.
Peloton says space and cost were the two major reasons they found people wanted a treadmill but did not purchase one. Peloton designed the Tread Flex to try to address both points.
Chief Product Officer Nick Caldwell said that the Tread Flex floor footprint is reduced by 46% when it is folded. In that position, it takes up less floor space than a Peloton Bike.
The Tread Flex weighs 290lbs, and is 70.5″ L x 33.6″ W x 66.1″ H when in use.
The folding mechanism uses two release cylinders and lowers the deck gradually rather than allowing it to drop quickly. Members just have trigger the release, after which the lowering is automatic. It takes approximately 30 seconds for it to go from the folded position to being on the floor.
Once folded into the storage position, the Tread Flex can be moved on casters/wheels, with Peloton sharing that it can be pushed around a room with one hand.
The Peloton Tread Flex uses an ultra-quiet brushless motor that Peloton says peaks at 70 dB even at its maximum running speed of 12.5 mph. The Tread Flex has the same maximum speed & incline as the Tread Vision (and original Peloton Tread).
As Peloton is still encouraging people to cross train, the Tread Flex comes with a swivel screen (like the two Vision models as well), so people can rotate the screen for off-Tread strength, mobility, Pilates, stretching, and other classes.
The screen on the Tread Flex is the smaller 21.5″ screen.
The Tread Flex does not have a movement-tracking camera, which means camera-dependent features such as the new Run Analysis feature and off-Tread form tracking & rep counting are not available. In fact, the Peloton Tread Flex does not have any camera at all – a first for a Peloton Tread. Tread Flex also will not have the voice control features found in other models.
However, it should support the Peloton ReRuns feature, Peloton IQ Pace Targets, and heart rate zone workout features.
Peloton has increased the size of the water bottle storage as well, something Caldwell joked was among the company’s most common member requests despite all of Peloton’s work on AI and software.
While the Vision models come with updated speed & incline jump buttons, the Peloton Tread Flex does not get the new jump buttons that go both up & down.
Rebecca Kennedy described the product as:
“This is the tread that we all have wanted for so long. I’ve been in a locker room talking to so many instructors and they’re like, this is what I need in my house right now.”
Tread Flex launches in the United States and Canada October 1.
It will reach Peloton’s other markets in spring 2027, or autumn 2027 in Australia.
For comparison, when the Original Series Tread launched back in 2021, that device cost $2,495 in the US.
Peloton Tread Vision
Peloton Tread Vision becomes the middle model in the lineup at $3,495 USD. That is $200 more than the outgoing Cross Training Tread it is replacing. However, it does receive some upgrades over the Cross Training Tread.
Peloton called Tread Vision the “centerpiece” of the new lineup and said that while it may initially resemble last year’s Cross Training Tread, they have made changes across the machine.
The display is now 23.8 inches and swivels for off-Tread workouts (the Cross Training Tread was a 21.5″ model). Peloton has also added a built in fan (like the Cross Training Bike+ and Tread+ got last year), as well as bringing the sound by Sonos upgraded audio found on the plus models last year to the Tread Vision. The Cross Training Tread model had a more basic screen, without the fan, Sonos Audio, or movement tracker camera.
Peloton also shared that the running deck on the Tread Vision has been upgraded from the Cross Training Tread, and it now has new commercial-grade cushioning, with internal dampers added to improve comfort.
The Tread Vision also is getting a new feature for the speed & incline knobs. Now, instead of there being a single button inside each knob, there is both an up and down jump button. This allows you to jump up, or down, to the next whole point on both incline & speed, in addition to still being able to rotate the knob for more fine-grain controls.
Members are still able to use on-screen shortcuts to jump directly to a particular speed.
The Tread Vision is also getting the upgraded movement tracking camera, found only on the plus model in last year’s Cross Training series.
This means the Tread Vision can now support Peloton IQ strength features away from the Tread, including rep counting, form feedback, and weight recommendations.
It also enables the new Run Analysis feature, which measures a member’s running motion and produces a Running Efficiency Score after a workout.
The Tread Vision is also getting much larger cup holders and phone storage space than the Cross Training Tread it is replacing. The size is now much closer to the larger storage the Tread+ models had.
Like the Peloton Flex, the Tread Vision will also support the Peloton ReRuns feature, Peloton IQ Pace Targets, and heart rate zone workout features.
The Tread Vision is 68″ L x 33″ W x 65″ H, and weighs 316 lbs.
Tread Vision launches October 1 in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, and Austria, followed by Australia on October 2.
Peloton Tread+ Vision
Peloton Tread+ Vision remains the premium model at $6,695 USD, the same regular price as the Cross Training Tread+ it replaces. The Tread+ Vision is a more direct 1:1 replacement of the Cross Training Tread+.
It keeps Peloton’s slat-belt running surface found on Tread+ models, made from individual rubberized slats moving across a ball-bearing system. Peloton says the belt provides a 76% energy return rate and remains the softest running surface in their Tread lineup.
The Peloton Tread+ Vision includes the movement-tracking camera (which the Cross Training Tread+ had) and supports the same Run Analysis feature, as Tread Vision. The Tread+ vision keeps the 23.8″ screen that last year’s model had, with upgraded Sonos audio, and the fan, like the previous generation Cross Training Tread+ had as well.
The Tread+ Vision also gets a brand new Sled Mode feature, which allows members to manually drive the slat belt while adding between 30 and 300 pounds of resistance – which Peloton says will be ideal for those training for competitions like Hyrox. The Tread+ Vision will also have free mode (which is now essentially sled mode with no weight added).
However, Sled Mode is not exclusive to the Tread+ Vision hardware. Peloton says all prior Tread+ generations, including the Original Series Tread+ and Cross Training Tread+, will receive Sled Mode through future software updates.
The Tread+ Vision is 75″ L x 37″ W x 70″ H, and weighs 460lbs.
Tread+ Vision launches October 1 in the United States and Canada.
Peloton has not announced availability in their other markets, so like the Cross Training Tread+, it is unlikely to be available in international markets for the foreseeable future.
The drink holders and tray of the Cross Training Tread+ were already quite large, and the Tread+ vision keeps this same design.
Since the Cross Training Tread+ had the movement tracking camera already, feature wise the Tread+ Vision is basically identical to the Cross Training Tread+ at this time. The most immediate noticeable feature the Tread+ Vision will have over the Cross Training Tread+ is the new incline & speed buttons that now have both up & down options. There are no software features rolling out that are exclusive to the Tread+ Vision currently, that the Cross Training Tread+ is not receiving.
New Features Found on Flex, Vision, and Vision+
Along with the upgraded hardware, several new running-based features are launching.
One of these is ReRuns, which allow you to simulate an outdoor course you have run outdoors previously on your Treadmill.
Another is Peloton IQ Pace Targets, which uses Peloton IQ to give you more personalized pace targets than the previous 10 levels of pace targets provided.
Another is Heart Rate Zone workouts, giving you the ability to have structured workouts based on heart rate targets.
All 3 of these features are being rolled out across Peloton’s entire Tread lineup, including the previous Cross Training series and Original Series Tread & Tread+. Peloton shared that their goal as they add new features is that a feature will be made available to older hardware whenever the physical device can support it.
Run Analysis, which gives you a running efficiency score and measures several new metrics, requires the upgraded movement-tracking camera, so Peloton clarified that it will be only available on Cross Training Tread+, Tread Vision, and Tread+ Vision. The Original Series Tread+ does not support Run Analysis, as the camera does not support it.
A new WHOOP integration is also rolling out that will be available to all members.
What Happens to the Peloton Cross Training Treads?
The Peloton Cross Training Tread and Cross Training Tread+ will no longer be sold directly by Peloton after October 1 – as the Tread Vision, Vision+, and Flex models are taking their spots in the lineup.
That comes only one year after the Cross Training lineup launched.
Trade-in Program For Peloton Tread Flex, Tread Vision, and Tread+ Vision not being offered
Similar to last year’s Cross Training launch, Peloton is not offering any sort of trade-in program for current Tread or Tread+ owners with the launch.
Trying the new Peloton Tread Flex, Tread Vision, and Tread+ Vision in showrooms
Although the new products don’t officially go on sale until October 1st, Peloton is going ahead and letting people take a look at them. Members can begin trying Tread Flex, Tread Vision, and Tread+ Vision on September 22 at Peloton Studios New York and select Peloton retail stores in the United States and Canada.
Recapping the major differences between the Peloton Tread Flex, Tread Vision, and Tread+ Vision
The Peloton Tread Flex is designed to appeal for those looking for the lowest priced product, or those trying to save space in apartments. This is Peloton’s folding treadmill, and costs $2,195. It has a smaller screen, no built in fan, and no camera at all, so can’t do advanced Run Analysis features, but is designed to be used in smaller spaces.
The Peloton Tread Vision is the mid-tier Peloton Tread, costing $3,495. It has a movement tracker camera, a larger 23.8″ screen with upgraded Sonos audio and a fan, and gets the up & down speed & incline buttons. The major difference between the Tread Vision and Tread+ Vision are the traditional running belt surface of the Tread Vision vs the slat belt of the Tread+ Vision (which means the Tread Vision won’t get sled mode & free mode, but it gets all other features the Tread+ Vision has).
The Peloton Tread+ Vision is the most premium treadmill Peloton sells, costing $6,695. It has the same 23.8″ screen with upgraded Sonos audio, fan, and movement tracker camera, and also gets the up & down incline & speed buttons. It swaps out the running belt for a more shock absorbent rubber slat belt, which enables features like free mode & sled mode. The Tread+ Vision also can go up to 15% incline, compared to the 12.5% of the Tread Vision.
