I have not had an opportunity to personally try out the Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill. But I do want to talk about it. Over the past couple of weeks I have received couple of inquiries asking me about the Hydra Suspension System. Hydra Suspension is a fancy way of saying the Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill has an adjustable shock absorption system. Adjustable shock absorption just means you can adjust how firm the deck of a treadmill is. Most of the time adjustable shock absorption is just a gimmick and causes more problems than solutions. Adjustable shock absorption is also typically found on low-end units. When Smooth released the Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill I was a little bit surprised and also a little excited to see how well Smooth Fitness integrated an adjustable shock absorption system into a high-end treadmill like the Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill. Because I have not used the Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill yet so I really can’t give a thumbs up or thumbs down opinion about the Hydra suspension feature. I suppose I’ll just say it is going to be really interesting to see some consumer feedback on this feature.

As for the rest of the Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill it’s pretty much slightly below average. The running area is a small 20″ x 54″. The vast majority of people who plan on buying a high-end treadmill like the Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill the running area just won’t cut it. Other treadmills in the $2000 price range have a 20″ x 60” running area. However, if for some reason you want to high-end treadmill that will take up the least amount of space I suppose the small running area is a redeeming quality of the Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill. The top speed is 11.2 MPH. Most people who buy a treadmill will not be running or jogging any faster than 10 mph. But that’s not the point. The Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill is a high-end, or at least a high price treadmill. I need a full 12 mile-per-hour top speed for me to even consider something that retails in the $2000 neighborhood.

Bottom line, the Hydra suspension system or adjustable shock absorption system holds a lot of potential. Perhaps if Smooth Fitness finds a way to include the shock absorption system and a large deck and high top speed the Smooth Fitness 9.35HR Treadmill would be in the running for my annual treadmill awards. But it’s not.
