High price in an average package. Too many competitors in this price range for this one to make sense. They make some great bikes and should leave treadmills to someone else.
General Information
This is a Japanese company that is having the treadmill built in Taiwan by the same people that make Vision. This company has a storied past with high quality products but this one seems to be quite overpriced compared to other treadmills on the market. The sales manager called us and said that he doesn't want you buying this treadmill for your home since this is intended for commercial use, so we would take his advice.
Quality / Philosophy
Seems to be to build a good treadmill, put the classic Cateye electronics on it, and then price the hell out of it.
Outlook
Cateye has been around for awhile in the US market but has never established itself as a leading brand. With the flood of Asian products coming in the US market, we are uncertain of the effect it will have on Cateye.
