        Comments about Kinetic Road Machine Fluid Bike Trainer:

        This trainer is everything it is billed to be; quiet, stable, progressive resistance. Kurt Kinetic claims its unique feature is its leak-proof design. After several hundred miles, i have had no problems, and have not had to test their claim.

        It is quiet, stable, and the harder you spin, the harder the resistance. Coast-down is not as long as claimed, but this could be due to the tension the wheel is under, as well as the variable flyweights available.

        All in all, super quality, and the most realistic indoor ride I have found yet. highly recommended.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Comments about Kinetic Road Machine Fluid Bike Trainer:

            I bought it to help rehab my knee after ACL reconstruction. Both my sons and I have enjoyed riding on it because the resistance simulates road riding well, and shifting gears changes the nature of the workout from a gentle jaunt to a hard core sprint. With a Kinetic riser ring, the bike feels stable but responsive. The trainer folds up so it's easy to move and store, but is ruggedly constructed & has a lifetime warranty. It can adjust to a very wide range of wheel diameters, but once you've adjusted it to your bike, it's very quick and easy to mount and remove the bike from the axle clamps. They thoughtfully provide a quick release skewer, so if your have an exotic ultralight skewer, it won't be damaged by the clamp.

            Purchased as a first trainer and am completely satisfied with quality and performance. Friends, store employees, and i-net reviews pushed me this way, trying it in the store sold it. Highly recommend purchasing a riser to keep your front end stable.

                    This is my first trainer and it is GREAT. It was very easy to set up and feels stable during a ride. I was a bit concerned about noise (I live in a high-rise condo), but find the noise level acceptable for 530/600 am when people are getting up and starting their day.
