How benchmarksutra rates treadmills: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra Treadmill Score rates 7 treadmills sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 15 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 15 November 2026). We did not test these treadmills ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Treadmill Score works.
What we rate
Top speed. Top speed the maker states: 10 km/h rates 0, 18 km/h or more 100.
Incline. Motorised (auto) incline with 15 or more levels rates 100, fewer levels 85; manual incline rates 30 plus 5 per level, up to 4 levels.
Maximum user weight. Maximum user weight the maker states: 100 kg rates 0, 150 kg or more 100. Where a maker gives a lower limit for running, we use that.
Running surface. Running surface (length × width): 4,000 cm² rates 0, 6,000 cm² or more 100. A longer, wider deck leaves more room for a natural stride.
Motor warranty. Warranty on the motor in years: 1 rates 0, 5 or more 100.
Price. Lowest price we found, against the cheapest treadmill in the list.
Buyer profiles
What we checked
We read each maker's own product page for top speed, incline, maximum user weight, running surface and motor warranty. Retail listings are used only for the price. We do not score motor horsepower: makers quote it differently (some peak, some continuous, some without saying), so the figures cannot be compared fairly; each post still shows the motor as the maker states it. Missing rows are left out and the weights re-spread; a treadmill is ranked only if its maker states at least 5 of the 6 rated items.
What we do not rate
Belt cushioning, noise, motor heat on long runs and build quality need tests. We do not run them and we do not use other sites' results. We make no fitness, weight-loss or health claims. Exercise bikes, ellipticals and rowers are not in this round.
