The Adidas T-800 High Incline treadmill is now a confirmed QZ compatibility case from a real user setup. The evidence comes from a private support exchange, so no private thread links or personal details are published here, but the useful takeaway is public: the treadmill can work with QZ through the standard FTMS treadmill workflow.
In that setup, the owner reported that QZ connected to the treadmill over FTMS, speed control worked, positive incline control worked, and Zwift auto-incline was working through QZ. A follow-up TestFlight build was then used for the negative-incline / decline behavior, after which the user replied that it worked and later said the setup seemed to work wonderfully.

Compatibility summary
| Equipment | Adidas / Adida T-800 High Incline treadmill, model family AVUS-10721 |
| Device type | FTMS Bluetooth treadmill with incline / decline capability |
| Connection | QZ treadmill FTMS path confirmed in the user setup |
| Metrics and control | Speed control and positive incline control were reported working |
| Decline / negative incline | A TestFlight follow-up was used and the user confirmed it worked; treat this as confirmed for that test build rather than a blanket statement about every release channel |
| Zwift | Zwift auto-incline was reported working through QZ |
| Other apps | QZ can bridge supported treadmill data into its usual virtual-device and workout-recording workflows where the target app supports the relevant treadmill data |
| Confidence | High for the reported setup; exact behavior can still depend on firmware, QZ build and platform |
How to set it up in QZ
- Open QZ near the treadmill and use the treadmill / FTMS treadmill connection path.
- Wait for QZ to connect and show treadmill data before opening the target training app.
- Test speed changes first, then test incline changes from QZ or from the connected app workflow.
- If you use Zwift auto-incline, confirm that QZ receives the grade change and that the treadmill responds as expected.
The important wording here is careful: the user-confirmed items are FTMS connection, speed control, positive incline, Zwift auto-incline, and the patched decline behavior in the TestFlight follow-up. Do not assume every regional Adidas treadmill firmware behaves identically until your own unit is tested.
What QZ adds to the treadmill
QZ acts as the bridge between the treadmill and training apps. For treadmill users that can mean live speed and incline handling, virtual-device output for supported apps, workout recording, and the wider QZ integration layer.
Depending on your platform and configuration, QZ can also fit into broader workout workflows such as Apple Health / HealthKit, Garmin Connect, Strava, Google Health / Health Connect and other app integrations supported by QZ. Availability depends on the device, phone platform, app settings and the training app you are trying to connect.
Troubleshooting notes
- If the treadmill does not appear, restart the treadmill Bluetooth state and check that another app is not already holding the connection.
- If speed works but incline does not, verify the QZ build you are using and retest the incline / decline path separately.
- If Zwift auto-incline is the goal, test a simple grade change before starting a longer workout.
