Our Recommendations

Based on our comprehensive analysis of the Kingsmith X21 and R2 walking pads, here are our personalized recommendations to help you choose the right model for your specific needs:

Choose the Kingsmith X21 if:

  • You prioritize stability during running workouts at higher speeds
  • You prefer a sleeker aesthetic with a hidden LED display
  • You want a slightly sturdier build quality for intensive daily use
  • You’re primarily focused on fitness rather than working while walking
  • You prefer the responsive control dial for direct speed adjustments

Choose the Kingsmith R2 if:

  • You need flexibility between under-desk walking and standalone workouts
  • You want a slightly more powerful motor (1.2 HP vs 1 HP)
  • You need the absolute minimum footprint when stored (0.11m²)
  • You prefer multiple control options (foot-sensing, remote, app)
  • You’re looking for better value for money (€760 vs €797-€849)
  • You primarily plan to use it for walking while working

Analysis Highlights:

  • User Interface: X21 offers a more intuitive interface with responsive control dial compared to R2’s sometimes challenging handrail mechanism.
  • Features: R2 excels with its versatility for both under-desk use and traditional workouts, while X21 has a fixed handrail limiting its use cases.
  • Tied Specifications: Both models offer identical max speeds (12 km/h), weight capacity (110 kg), and use the same KS Fit App.
  • Storability: Both models feature double-folding technology, with the R2 taking slightly less space (0.11m² vs 0.16m²).
  • Noise Level: Both models start quietly, but the R2 has more reports of developing noise issues during use.
  • Value: At €760, the R2 provides better value than the X21 (€797-€849) while offering more versatility.
