Xterra Fitness Sport Series Folding Smart Treadmill
This XTERRA treadmill, the Sport Series TR65 Folding Smart Treadmill, pairs a powered 10-level incline with Bluetooth FTMS connectivity and handlebar-mounted speed and incline controls, so changing pace or grade never means letting go of the rails. It sits in our mid-range folding tier, built around a 20 by 55 inch deck, a 2.5 HP motor, and a 300 pound weight capacity, backed by a lifetime frame warranty plus a year of parts and labor coverage.
- Powered 10-level incline and Bluetooth FTMS connectivity at a price point where several competitors still ship manual incline or no connectivity at all
- Handlebar-mounted speed and incline controls plus direct buttons, so you can adjust without breaking stride
- 24 preset programs and a free 60-day Kinomap trial to try guided training before paying for a subscription
- 20 by 55 inch deck matches the mid-range folding siblings in our catalog rather than a smaller entry-tier belt
- Lift Assist / Slow Deploy folding design with built-in transport wheels for daily fold-and-store use
- Lifetime frame warranty backs the machine even where the rest of the coverage is standard for this tier
Where the TR65 lands against the rest of our treadmill catalog: Beats the XTERRA treadmill TR150 on incline type, connectivity, and belt size, though the TR150 costs less if manual incline and no app are fine for you, Loses to the NordicTrack T 6.5 S and the Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT class on motor horsepower and parts warranty length, Beats the XTERRA TRX1000 Compact Treadmill on deck size, incline power, and connectivity, though the TRX1000 is lighter and better for tight spaces or a lower budget.

Measure your fold-away spot first
Use the taller 65.7 inch folded-height figure from Amazon's own listing rather than XTERRA's smaller manufacturer number, so the machine actually fits where you plan to store it.
Why this XTERRA treadmill wins its class
Powered incline and Bluetooth FTMS instead of dongles or manual pins
Several mid-range folding treadmills in this tier still make you choose between powered incline and Bluetooth, or skip both. The TR65 ships with 10 levels of electronic incline and built-in Bluetooth FTMS that pairs with apps like Zwift and Kinomap, plus a free 60-day Kinomap trial.
Handlebar controls you don't have to reach down for
Speed and incline controls are built into the handlebars as well as the console, so you can adjust pace or grade mid-stride instead of leaning down to tap a button.
A deck sized for the tier, not the entry class
At 20 by 55 inches, the TR65's deck matches the NordicTrack T 6.5 S and the Sunny Health & Fitness 20 inch model in our catalog, and beats the smaller belt that entry folding machines like the XTERRA TRX1000 ship with.
What owners keep saying
These notes pull from Amazon's own listing data for the TR65, since neither Reddit threads nor independent video reviews of this exact model were reachable this pass. Amazon lists only two reviews for this listing, and one of them describes a different XTERRA model, the TRX3500, not the TR65, so it's excluded here. That leaves a single on-topic review, not enough of a sample to characterize owners as a group. The one thing it flags: the deck cushioning didn't feel as plush as the XTRASoft branding implies. Treat that as one data point, and weigh the specs and the listing's own internal conflicts below before you decide.
The honest cons
- Only one of the two Amazon reviews on file is actually about the TR65, and it calls the deck cushioning underwhelming; too thin a sample to call this a proven track record
- The listing disagrees with itself on folded height: Amazon's own field says 65.7 inches, XTERRA's manufacturer text in the same listing says 61.4 inches. Plan around the taller number
- 2.5 HP is the lowest motor rating among the mid-range folding siblings in our own catalog, and the listing doesn't break out continuous duty from peak horsepower
- Only 1 year of parts and labor coverage, versus 2 years of parts on the NordicTrack T 6.5 S at a similar tier
- Whether the motor carries lifetime coverage is genuinely unclear between Amazon's structured field and XTERRA's own spec text on the same listing
XTERRA TR65 vs NordicTrack T 6.5 S vs Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT vs Sunny Health & Fitness 20 in Auto Incline
Stacked against three other mid-range folding treadmills in our own catalog, the TR65's edge is connectivity and incline power at this price tier, not raw motor size or warranty depth.

FAQ
What is the XTERRA TR65's actual weight capacity?
The TR65 is rated for 300 pounds, a number that Amazon's structured listing and XTERRA's own comparison chart for this exact page agree on, one of the few specs here without an internal conflict.
How does the TR65 compare to the XTERRA TR150 treadmill?
It's the stripped-down sibling in XTERRA's own comparison chart for this listing: 3 levels of manual incline adjusted by pop-pins instead of the TR65's powered 10-level incline, no Bluetooth connectivity at all, a smaller 16 by 50 inch belt, and a 250 pound weight limit instead of 300.
I've been reading XTERRA Fitness TR150 folding treadmill reviews and I'm still deciding between the two models, what actually separates them?
Mostly incline and connectivity: the TR150 adjusts incline manually with pop-pins near the rear of the deck and has no Bluetooth, while the TR65 reviewed here adds powered incline, Bluetooth FTMS, handlebar controls, and a wider 20 by 55 inch belt. If your workouts are flat walking without an app, the simpler machine may be enough.
Does XTERRA sell anything above the TR65?
Yes, XTERRA's current lineup also includes the XTERRA Fitness TRX1200 folding smart treadmill as a step up, though we haven't sourced or verified its specs independently for this page. Within our own catalog, the closest step up is the Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT class treadmill, covered in the comparison table below.
Is the TR65's warranty actually lifetime on the motor?
Whether the motor is covered for life is unconfirmed. Amazon's structured warranty field only credits the frame with lifetime coverage and lists 1 year of parts and labor, while XTERRA's own spec text elsewhere in the same listing also credits the motor. We'd confirm directly with XTERRA before assuming the motor is covered for life.
The verdict
The short version: the XTERRA Fitness TR65 is a capable mid-range folding treadmill for anyone who wants powered incline, Bluetooth FTMS, and handlebar controls without stepping up to a premium incline trainer. XTERRA's own comparison chart for this exact listing confirms the core numbers: a 300 pound weight capacity, a 20 by 55 inch deck, and 10 levels of electronic incline, all class-typical for this tier.
The catch is thin evidence and two unresolved conflicts inside XTERRA's own listing content. Only one of the two Amazon reviews on file is actually about this model, and it calls the deck cushioning underwhelming. The listing also disagrees with itself on the folded height, and on whether the motor, not just the frame, is covered for life. Buy it if the feature set and powered incline matter more to you than a deep review history. Skip it if you want a smaller footprint or a simpler machine and don't need powered incline or Bluetooth; the TRX1000 or TR150 in XTERRA's own lineup cover that case instead.
