      Comments about Kinetic Road Fluid Bike Trainer:

      I did a lot of research on trainers and this regularly came up as the best. I put on upwards of a 1000 miles preseason last year and this thing worked beautifully. Only bummer is that it wore out my tire quicker than regular road riding. The product seems indestructable and is very stable. Worth spending more on this one than the cheaper, smaller ones.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Kinetic Road Fluid Bike Trainer:

        Great ride. Tried a less expensive mag trainer before and I could not make it through a 30 minute workout. I have switched to the kurt fluid machine and can ride for as long as the boredom will allow me. I have done multiple 1hr+ rides and actually have enjoyed them. I put headphones on and i do not notice that I am on a trainer. It is not the same as riding on the roads but I am convinced it is the next best thing.
        The only con I have found is putting the bike in the trainer which can be tricky if you do not read the directions carefully.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Need a trainer that won't leak (magnetic coupling; no seals!); is quiet, loads just like riding on those long road trip? Kenetic is the one you want. Easily adjusts to various styles and size bike wheels. You pedal and shift normally to create the workout you desire; minute sprints to hours as if on the road. Well designed and manufactured.

            Comments about Kinetic Road Fluid Bike Trainer:

            This is the first time I have used a trainer, and I did a lot of research before purchasing this product. So far it has outperformed expectations. My wife, who is not impressed by fitness equipment, has discovered the fantastic workout she can get on this product. (it is very easy to switch between her bike and mine)It is very quiet and stable. The waranty that comes with it certainly says a lot about this product.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              I did my homework and this unit seems to always be spot on in reviews. I bought this system for friend and she is absolutely in love with it. Pay the extra money and get a system you know is going to last.
