Fold, Flex, and Run: Meet the All-New Peloton Tread Flex

Peloton has officially pulled back the curtain on its revamped treadmill lineup launching October 1, 2026, headlined by its first-ever folding model: the Peloton Tread Flex.

To mark the launch, Peloton partnered with Miley Cyrus for its high-energy campaign, “Let Yourself Run,” scored by the title track of her album Bass Persuades and co-starring Peloton instructor Adrian Williams.

What’s New in the Hardware Lineup

Peloton is targeting both small-space living and high-end training by restructuring its treadmill family into three distinct tiers:

  • Peloton Tread Flex ($2,195 USD / $2,995 CAD): Peloton’s lowest-priced and first foldable treadmill. It features an automatic, dual-cylinder slow-release mechanism that cuts its floor footprint by nearly 50%—taking up less space than a standard Peloton Bike when stowed upright. It includes a 21.5-inch HD swivel screen, caster wheels for single-handed rolling, and an ultra-quiet brushless motor reaching up to 12.5 mph.
  • Peloton Tread Vision ($3,495 USD / $4,395 CAD): A full-size studio deck with a 23.8-inch swivel screen, upgraded audio tuned by Sonos, and built-in computer vision hardware.
  • Peloton Tread+ Vision ($6,695 USD / $8,395 CAD): The flagship slat-belt option outfitted with the Vision camera suite and a new Sled Mode capable of providing up to 300 lbs of pushing resistance for HYROX-style conditioning.

Smarter Strides: Upgraded Peloton IQ

Alongside the hardware, Peloton is rolling out an AI-driven overhaul to its software ecosystem:

  • Computer Vision Run Analysis: Available on the Vision models, this feature tracks your cadence, stride length, and vertical oscillation to generate real-time form feedback and a running efficiency score.
  • IQ Pace Targets: Replacing static pace tiers, Peloton IQ analyzes your recent workout history to calibrate personalized, dynamic target ranges before you start your run.
  • ReRuns & Wearable Integrations: Members can import real-world outdoor GPS routes; the treadmill will automatically mirror the incline and elevation changes of that course indoors. Workouts also now support two-way syncing with WHOOP, alongside existing Apple Health, Garmin, and Fitbit support.

Availability

  • United States & Canada: All three models go on sale October 1, 2026.
  • UK, Germany, Austria, and Australia: The Tread Vision debuts October 1–2, 2026, while the Tread Flex will roll out internationally in spring 2027.
