   Peloton debuts affordable Tread Flex as part of turnaround strategy

   Peloton is expanding its treadmill lineup with three new models, including the Tread Flex, a foldable unit priced at $2,195. This represents the most affordable treadmill the company has ever released. Along with the hardware, Peloton is introducing AI-powered coaching features for hikers, walkers, and runners. These moves are part of a broader effort to regain momentum and shift the company focus toward margin discipline and free cash flow generation after a period of post-pandemic cost adjustments.
