The Rolls Royce of trainers July 25, 2010 Claud Duffield (USA) I have loved, rode and built bicycles all my life. Now, being 73 years old with a very bad back, I need to keep in shape but can't ride in the open anymore. Can't stand exercise bikes, so have been using trainers with my Cannondale for the last 4 years. The disappointments I have had is that I couldn't find a trainer that lasted. Magnetics never give acceptable resistance and I have gone through 3 'name brand' fluid units; 1 wore out the bearings, 2 started leaking oil; all just after the warranty period expired. In desperation, because I absolutely needed the exercise, I decided to go for broke and get the best rated trainer I could find. The Kurt Kinetic won out. Bought one and set it up and had a problem with an out of balance flywheel. Expecting, as usual, a lot of static from the manufacturer, I called Kinetic about it. Had the most courteous and helpful assistance I have ever had for this kind of service. The people I spoke to were horrified about the problem. They immediately offered to send a NEW and TESTED resistance unit and a return box and label for the old one at THEIR expense so they could discover why the unit was not right. The new one arrived within 3 days and has been a dream to use. Kicking myself now for not finding out about Kinetic sooner.
This unit is absolutely wonderful; Really good resistance, really stable and tough. With the lifetime warranty and the kind of service Kinetic offers, will use this thing 'till I die. LOVE IT! BUY ONE, you won't be sorry!
very nice April 1, 2010 Denny (Gainesville, Florida United States) I really like this unit compared to the Cyclops magnitrainer and fluid 2 trainer. Seems well made and almost like real riding.
High quality product March 3, 2010 Danarone (Cincinnati, OH) After years riding MTB, I am new to road biking and indoor training. Did my research and ended up purchasing this trainer because it uses fluid, but has a unique magnetic coupling to prevent future problems with leakage. So far, I am extremely pleased. The unit was easy to set-up, it is very smooth and quiet, and the resistance is very realistic. I highly recommend this product.
works as promised! March 2, 2010 P. Hung (madison, wi) bought this as a 'refurbished' item. would never have known that if i hadn't been told. arrived packaged as new with all the accessories. full warranty in place. GREAT price! and we really USE it! excellent piece for winter workouts. we use a dirt bike instead of a road bike, so is noiser than advertised, but is still FAR less noisy than an indoor trainer we borrowed from a friend using a road-style bike. Husband didn't believe it could be until he heard it himself. Would definitely buy from this company again.
Great indoor exercise! January 21, 2010 S. Cloots (California) This is a great indoor bicycle trainer. I got this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! It is good quality construction. It takes up just a little space when not in use. This is his first bicycle trainer, so we have nothing to compare this to, but rate this 5 Star. The price was $319, the quality is there. The Super Saver Shipping sure helps.
