NordicTrack X11i - Best Features
Incline/Decline Capability
The most appealing feature of the NordicTrack X11i as well as the other incline trainers is the ability to incline and decline the machine.
Ramping up to 40% and declining to -6% gives you the most complete lower body and cardiovascular workout, unlike any traditional treadmill can provide.

The NordicTrack X11i comes with a 10-inch Smart HD touchscreen monitor that displays your workout stats and all the built-in training programs. The display is fully web-enabled and allows you to check your email, surf the web, watch videos, and lots more.
The treadmill is also iFit Coach Plus enabled. You can set it to simulate different terrains and running routes from around the world via Google maps to make your workouts more exciting.
You can also track and share your results and tap into an endless library of personalized workouts.
Heart Rate Monitor
Both handlebars have Dual CardioGrip sensors built into them. A wireless chest strap is also included to give you accurate heart rate readings to improve the efficiency of your workout.
Large Workout Selection
The NordicTrack X11i gives you 44 built in workouts, more than you’ll find on any other treadmill, giving you plenty of ways to vary your training from one day to the next.
This is on top of the endless library that you can access through your iFit Coach account.
