This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to measure and adjust the incline of a NoblePro treadmill. This is particularly useful when calibrating, and adjusting your treadmill for use with apps that use incline data like Zwift, or our Kinni app.

Read more in depth incline terminology here if you want the science!

What will I need?

Inclinometer

You can download an inclinometer straight to your device. We recommend using an app like Kinni that has an in-built inclinometer within the Settings to give you an accurate incline reading (guide).

How to measure the incline

1. Ensure your treadmill is on a level floor to enable a consistent measuring point

2. Place your device with the inclinometer loaded on a flat area on the treadmill and parallel (inline) with the foot rails –see photo for reference.

Step 1 – Calibrate your incline

To get an accurate measurement it is important to calibrate your incline before starting. This feature is available on most good treadmills. We have a step-by-step guide available for NoblePro treadmills here.

Step 2 – Measure the minimum incline

1. Turn your treadmill on.
2. Keep clear of the running belt and start the treadmill.
3. Put the treadmill on the lowest incline setting.
4. Measure the incline and make note of the value.

Step 3 – Measure the maximum incline

1. Turn your treadmill on.
2. Keep clear of the running belt and start the treadmill.
3. Put the treadmill on the highest incline setting.
4. Measure the incline and make note of the value.

What do I do with these values?

Once you have measured your minimum and maximum incline with the inclinometer, input these values into this spreadsheet to understand what your NoblePro incline level really means! 

What if I am using Zero shoes?

You will need to override and adjust your incline to 0% from Sidekick.

To more closely simulate the “energy cost” or “intensity” of outdoor running, treadmills tend to have a 1-2% offset in incline. This means that the minimum level can be between 1-2% when the treadmill is showing 0% (or on level 0).

We have developed our NoblePro Zero Shoes to be placed under the rear wheels to bring your treadmill incline to a true 0%.

Here is one of our treadmills standing on ZeroShoes - raising the rear, and giving the treadmill a true 0% incline
