Berlin – September 10, 2026 -- Fitness brand Merach used its IFA Berlin 2026 appearance to launch the UltraWalk W60 Plus walking pad in Europe, alongside a new knee-protection cushioning system called KneeGuard(TM).
The W60 Plus ships September 20 with an early-bird discount
The UltraWalk W60 Plus, flagship of Merach's W60 series, is built for home offices and light indoor training. It goes on sale September 20, 2026 for a recommended retail price of 459.99 euros, with pre-orders available until then at an early-bird price of 379.99 euros through merachfit.de.
The device runs on a brushless motor rated for up to 15,000 hours of use, with noise capped at 53 decibels. Its running surface measures 420 by 1,050 millimeters and supports electric inclines up to 8.75 percent across twelve settings. Extras include an RGB light bar, a 5-watt Bluetooth speaker, and a triple-LED display tracking six metrics.
Three more products round out Merach's European lineup
Merach also introduced the T700 treadmill, a three-piece air-resistance training set, and a water-magnet rowing machine that blends water and magnetic resistance for a more realistic rowing feel. Further details on European availability for these products are expected soon.
IFA honored the T700 Aura treadmill for wellbeing tech
The UltraTread T700 Aura Treadmill received an IFA "Honoree - Best in Beauty Tech & Wellbeing" award, a category recognizing fitness technology and innovations supporting physical and mental wellbeing.
KneeGuard cushioning claims 49 times better impact absorption
Merach's KneeGuard(TM) Supercritical Cushioning System uses ETPU foam -- the same material found in high-performance running shoes -- placed along the sides of the cushioning structure. The foam offers up to 66 percent energy rebound, while a segmented, two-layer MDF running deck distributes impact force across the surface.
According to Merach, lab testing showed the system absorbs impact 49 times better than conventional treadmill decks. KneeGuard is currently integrated into the company's new T700 and T60 treadmill models.
