Kurt Kinetic Rock and Roll Trainer Review
My Kurt Kinetic Rock and Roll Trainer Review: During the off season, when it's too cold to ride outdoors, many addicted cyclists migrate to indoor bicycle training. I am personally one of those cyclists who is addicted to riding. I can't stop riding through the winter months and just start up again next spring (let alone go a few days without being on a bike). Along with an addicted cyclist, comes the need to splurge on a good indoor bicycle trainer.
About the Kinetic Rock and Roll Fluid Trainer:
I opted to purchase the Kinetic Rock and Roll Trainer by Kurt. The Kurt line of bike trainers are easily recognized by their bright green color. Like it's little brother the Road Machine, this indoor bike trainer utilizes a large roller, magnetically coupled to a sealed synthetic fluid filled chamber. This fluid resistance chamber design is 100% guaranteed by Kurt to be leak free for life. Another unique feature of the Rock and Roll trainer is it's use of rubber bushings, allowing the bike to sway or rock from side to side while riding.
Impressions of the Kurt Kinetic Rock and Roll Fluid Trainer:
The Kinetic by Kurt Rock and Roll Trainer is built like a tank and weighs 32lbs. Assembly is straight forward and instructions are included. Once mounted, a bicycle can be easily released from the trainer via a quick release lever. Spinning up on the fluid roller is relatively quiet. At riding speeds the Kurt Kinetic Rock and Roll Trainer is super smooth, and duplicates a ride on the road very well. I would go as far to say, the Rock and Roll creates the most realistic road like cycling experience I have experienced, while riding stationary. Especially compared to a wind or magnetic trainer. The faster you spin, the more resistance you'll encounter.
Although I paid less than $499, it appears the Rock and Roll Indoor Bicycle Trainer
