With the powerful motor, they deliver the same max speed at 12 MPH, which is ideal for walking, jogging.

Although the incline range is not too different, Horizon Fitness AT 7.0 would help target muscles more efficiently.
Now, we talk about its roller size. Horizon T202 is furnished with Front/back 46mm/42mm roller size. In contrast, Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT comes with Front/Back 60mm/46mm. This specification points out that Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT protects the track belt better than Horizon T202.

Regarding this matter, Horizon T202 features a single 1.4mm-ply belt while Horizon Fitness 7.0 AT is slightly better with a 1.6mm 2-ply belt. It means that Horizon T202 wears out faster and possibly causes more noise than its competitor.
