When I read about the incline through to forums it seems everyone else's incline goes higher than my treadmills. Mine goes to 10%

What I'm asking is do some treadmills just have a higher incline or can say for instance 20 on one persons be 10% on mine.

I know I'm not making much sense LOL

Sorry

    Various treadmills are designed to achieve different inclines. Incline is a standard measurement in relation to a horizontal surface. So, a 10% incline is a 10% incline on any treadmill (or at least it should be).

    Evidently your treadmill is designed for a maximum incline of 10% while others can achieve higher inclines such as 20%, 30%, etc..

    I'd recommend measuring the incline on various models before buying. What the display says and the incline sits at in reality can vary widely.
