Unlike Rodby’s standard model RL4500E, which is used across a variety of sports, the Luge Treadmill RL4500E x 2000 is specifically tailored for luge. The luge treadmill features a narrower yet thicker belt, designed to withstand the higher loads that occur during luge starts and the impact of the athlete’s spiked gloves.
The Luge Treadmill RL4500E x 2000 is equipped with high-performance motors capable of delivering rapid and controlled acceleration, calibrated to meet the explosive force demands of luge starts. This allows the training environment to realistically replicate the accelerations experienced during competition, making each session both effective and race-relevant.
The Luge Treadmill RL4500E x 2000 provides a precisely repeatable and competition-simulated training environment for the luge start phase. This enables training sessions to be tailored to optimize performance under race conditions.
Benefits of training on the Luge Treadmill RL4500E x 2000
- Repeated, controlled starts with technique analysis: The ability to perform repeated starts in a controlled environment enables fine-tuning of technique. Real-time technique analysis allows immediate adjustments to optimize each performance.
- Increased explosiveness and power transfer: Training on the Luge Treadmill RL4500E x 2000 develops reaction speed and strength during the start phase. Thanks to the treadmill’s motor power and speed control, training can focus on maximizing the power effectively transferred from body to motion, resulting in faster and more controlled starts.
- Improved body control and positioning: Training on the treadmill provides the opportunity to optimize posture and arm technique, enhancing power transfer and reducing energy loss at the start.

Advantages
of Rodby Treadmills
Weight and rollers
The total weight of the treadmill, and particularly the weight and rotational inertia of the rollers, are critical for stability, smooth, vibration-free operation, and the user experience for all models, from the smaller treadmills (1600–2700 mm) to the larger skate treadmills (3500–5500 mm).
Rodby Control System
The Rodby RL3500E to RL5500E skate treadmills come equipped with Control System 2.0, inclusive of a computer, keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, Rodby pedestal, an emergency stop button on the control panel, and a ceiling-mounted emergency stop connected to a harness or waist belt.
The Control System 2.0 interface can be operated using the touchscreen or keyboard and mouse, providing flexibility based on your preference. For proximity usage next to the treadmill, touch control is recommended. Additionally, there is an option for Bluetooth® Remote Control (optional), allowing convenient adjustments to incline and speed without diverting attention from the exercise. External control of the treadmill via USB is also possible using the Trackmaster protocol. The interface is available in three languages: English, Swedish, and Chinese.
Installation
Rodby's large skate treadmills offer flexible installation options and can be installed either in an installation pit or standing on the floor in the room.
Treadmill installed in pit
Rodby provides the flexibility to adapt the treadmill to the specific location and circumstances. All skate treadmills can be installed in an installation pit, ensuring that the treadmill's belt is only about 15 cm above floor level. However, it's important to note that installation in a pit requires a room that is specifically tailored for the skateband.
Treadmill installed on the floor
The least intrusive installation method involves placing the treadmill directly on the floor. In this configuration, the treadmill's belt will be approximately 75 cm above the floor level when it is in the start position and not elevated. This method minimizes the need for room adaptation or intervention.
Pulse Control is standard
Rodby treadmills come equipped with Control System 2.0, featuring Pulse Control of belt speed as a standard feature. Pulse control requires a connected pulse band or pulse clock with Bluetooth® capability. This functionality enables users to set a target pulse (Target Pulse), and the control system automatically adjusts the speed of the belt to attain the user's desired pulse rate. This feature proves highly beneficial when aiming to stay within a specific pulse range for various training objectives, such as endurance training, fat burning, aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise, or interval training. It provides users with a precise and controlled means of maintaining their desired cardiovascular intensity throughout their workout.
Track Simulation GPX is standard
Rodby treadmills equipped with Control System 2.0 offer an import function for GPX files created by a GPS device. This feature enables users to exercise on a simulated track, providing an excellent means to prepare for a race and train under conditions nearly identical to the real track. Utilize the Track Simulation GPX for your preferred home track in the forest or a competition track such as a marathon or the Vasaloppet. This functionality enhances the training experience, allowing for targeted and race-specific preparations.
