OUR 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). CONSTRUCTION DETAILS • The unique design of the VFX system uses multiple posts, which guide the floating deck in the vertical plane. Tight tolerances between the floating deck and guiding posts eliminate non-vertical movements common with other moving deck shock absorption systems. • Unlike springboard suspension systems which require the user to be positioned at the front edge of the deck to get maximum shock absorption, the VFX design allows a user to run anywhere on the treadmill while still providing the maximum shock absorption obtainable. Our 1-inch thick “floating” deck maintains up to a 500-pound weight capacity and structural integrity not found in 3/4-inch thick or less “flexing” deck systems.
