Uniquely designed, the Octane Fitness ZR8 and ZR7 Zero Runners feature innovative hip and knee joints that replicate a natural stride motion (up to 58” stride length) that fully engages your glute and hamstrings for increased results without the impact traditionally associated with running outside or on a treadmill.

In addition, both the Octane Fitness ZR8 and ZR7 Zero Runner machines feature moving handlebars to work your upper body.
The ZR8 is Octane’s premium Zero Runner machine with several upgrades in design/features over the ZR7 for improved performance. The main differences between the ZR8 and ZR7 include:
· The ZR8 is constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum legs and lightweight pedals for ultra smooth motion
· The ZR8’s pedal spacing is narrower than the ZR7 to bring your feet closer together – 1.4” on the ZR8 compared to 2” on the ZR7
· The ZR8 has 2 sets of handles - moving handlebars with contoured-grips (the ZR7 has standard-grip moving handlebars) plus the ZR8 has the addition of Performance Grips to focus on added core stability and which replicate the natural arm motion you use outside with traditional running
· The ZR8 has a rubber non-slip step while the ZR7 has a standard step (both have a low step-up height of 5.2”)
· The ZR8 comes with a Bluetooth 4.0 / ANT+ heart-rate chest strap while the ZR7 comes with a Polar heart-rate chest strap (although both machines feature digital contact sensors and are Polar, ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 compatible)

In addition, you can also monitor the health of your stride with SmartLink’s unique Stride Tracing technology. As you walk, jog or run, Stride Tracing allows you to see how your stride length changes as you fatigue, allowing you to adjust your form and correct imbalances for greater consistency throughout your workout.
For increased results, you can incorporate strength training into your cardio workout with the free set of resistance bands that come with both the ZR8 and ZR7. These bands can be attached to different connection points on the Zero Runner machines (7 connection points) for Cross Circuit training.
