There are many treadmill manufacturers in the sports goods market, but Torneo, due to its availability and low prices, can be considered a global brand. Among the manufacturer's assortment, the Cross series is quite popular, namely the T-107 and T-108 models, which we will talk about in this article.
Torneo Cross T - 107
This is a budget magnetic treadmill. Compactness will allow you to use it for training at home, since the simulator does not take up much space.
It has a number of characteristics and advantages:
- lightweight and convenient folding design;
- refers to the type of mechanical magnetic running trainers;
- dimensions: 137/68 / 130cm, white linen - 34/114 cm;
- weighs up to 30 kg;
- there are transport wheels for ease of movement;
- the presence of built-in programs;
- tilt angle is not adjustable;
- trainee's weight should not exceed 100 kg;
- there is a heart rate sensor.
Also, if you have a computerized control panel, you can get indicators:
- distance covered;
- calories burned;
- speed;
- training time;
- get a fitness - grade in the form of a test.
Torneo Cross T - 108
The simulator also belongs to a number of economical and compact models. Suitable for training in a small apartment. At the same time, it will occupy only one and a half square meters of its area, and when assembled, it will take half a meter.
The reliable mechanism ensures ease of assembly.
The control panel is equipped with a computer, shows:
- distance and running time;
- speed size;
- the number of calories burned;
- pulse rate.
The convenient location of the heart rate sensors on the handrails will ensure the accuracy of the data.
Additional characteristic:
- Has a weight of 26 kg.
- Use with a maximum weight of 100 kg.
- Size and dimensions: 138/65/125 cm.
The running belt is operated by high-power magnets. Due to this, the track can withstand a high level of load.
Features:
The absence of an electric motor in these models reduces energy consumption during exercise.
The mechanical system of the treadmill is driven by human effort. The more the athlete is active on the simulator, the faster the belt moves. This makes it possible to independently adjust the speed of movement.
It should be borne in mind that during the use of mechanical-type tracks, the legs are subjected to additional stress. In this regard, if there is arthrosis, arthritis of the lower extremities or varicose veins, it is better to use the simulator for sports walking, since it is difficult to increase the pace of running on it. Moderate physical activity, which this series provides, is recommended for people after the rehabilitation period, the elderly for the development of the muscular system.
They are safe, as the magnetic braking system is triggered when the rate of movement on the belt decreases.
Magnets keep the walking belt running smoothly and quietly.
During use, care must be taken to displace the tape. An indicator of more than 0.5 cm will damage the belt and will soon lead to a breakdown of the simulator. The correct position will ensure safety and increase the life of the equipment.
Comparison with competitors
If we compare the Cross series treadmills with models from other manufacturers of similar price category, we can highlight the presence of built-in programs in the Torneo. With a not particularly advanced design, let's say the heart rate meter makes it possible to undergo effective and complex trainings. This function helps to control the heartbeat, its rhythm during exercise.
Torneo boldly competes with the proven and equally well-known American brands HouseFit and Horison Fitness. A similar lineup of these manufacturers is equipped with less computer functions. Also, many of them are not intended for professional use and are heavy. The lack of a magnetic system in them, in comparison with the Torneo simulators, makes the workout more noisy.
And the relatively small size of the treadmill in many competing models, and the lack of a function for changing the angle of inclination and a pulse meter, do not make it possible to get what you want from the treadmill. But there are also comparative advantages, such as the presence of compensators to compensate for uneven floors, drink coasters.
Manufacturers such as Body Sculpture (England) and WinnerFitness (Asia) are distinguished by the presence of mechanics in the simulators. The electrical system makes it possible to accelerate the speed up to 10-15 km / h with less physical exertion.
Compared to the electrical one, the Torneo Cross mechanical system allows for more efficient sports activities (more energy is expended in the absence of an electric motor) with lower costs, since it does not consume electricity. The range of treadmills, from the above listed competing manufacturers, also differ in the smaller size of the treadmill.

We bought Torneo Cross T - 107. I can say a lot of good things about it:
8-level load, the presence of a display with indicators: speed, size of the distance run, the number of calories burned, pulse! The simulator is equipped with instructions describing the rules and recommendations for use. It is described what load should be initially and to what size to increase.
Gives a good lift to the legs, buttocks. Enough 5 minutes to sweat. My workout takes 15 minutes. Compact, assembled does not take up much space. By the way, I was afraid that it would rumble while running, but I was mistaken, it does not bother me.

I liked its ease of assembly. I use it, I am satisfied and whoever says what, the track is class!

Olyska
The parameters of my search were mechanics with a low price. I found all this in the Torneo Cross T - 107, no cheaper! Intensive exercises showed the flimsy structure, everything loosened. Difficulty adjusting the blade when shifting. With its lightness, a roar is very audible when running.

Marisha
I was looking for a replacement for street jogging for the winter. The price came up. In this completely arranged, the computer is cheating the truth about calories. But she took it so as not to calm my conscience, but for everyday activities. Expectations are fully justified.
I like its compactness and price.
I do not like that the canvas has shifted. Has been seen 2 times in a year's use.
Natalia
Was engaged in a week exclusively walking without trying to run. As a result, the computer bracket crumbled to pieces, jamming the canvas every other day. The consequences of a cracked roller. Having evaluated the model close up, all the clumsy work is visible. Intends to obtain a refund with the purchase of another option.
Inessa
Works normally except for the web shift. Fuss gets a lot.
She likes the intensity of the load (brisk walking). Gives development to the calf muscles. I sweat doing regularly.
I didn’t like that the canvas was constantly shifting. It is not possible to adjust.

Like: takes up little space, but not expensive, while not being killed.
Minus: not stable, the canvas is displaced.
Nikolay
The model is good! I took a cheap one for running at home in winter. The price is justified, it worked completely. I got used to the mechanical movement of the canvas, but it's better. Exercise gives a good load for the legs. Compact, well-assembled. I recommend to everyone.

I used it for a week, broke down immediately. Not suitable for intense training.
