Peloton is back with a ‘cheaper’ folding treadmill

Peloton has launched the Tread Flex, its first foldable treadmill and cheapest model to date. Priced at $2,195, the device is part of a three-model rollout intended to drive a company turnaround. The company is also integrating new AI running features and revamping treadmill hardware to attract a broader customer base. The Tread Flex costs more than $1,000 less than the previous-generation Tread, which retails for $3,295, while the high-end Tread+ remains priced at $6,695.
