Road Machine Gets a 5-cowbell Rating!

Posted On: 25 Feb 2011

"Lets face it, every cyclist needs a good trainer when you don't have time to train or the weather is miserable outside. Don't mess around with trainers that fail to offer the best for what you pay for. While you might save a few pennies now, you will wish you had spent the extra money when your bike comes out of the trainer during intervals or you are constantly wobbling back and forth. Get a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine, train hard, train smart and reap the rewards out on the road."

Bart Gillespie Talks about the Rock and Roll Trainer

Posted On: 9 May 2009

I can’t remember the last time I rode a trainer, maybe 5-6 years ago. I’m an outside kind of guy and when the weather is bad here in the Wasatch it means snow and I just get my workout climbing up mountains on skis. The problem is, It’s April, and bike season, and this weekend is the Sea Otter Classic, one of the largest mountain bike races in the US. I really should be riding my bike.


Bicycle.net Review - Road Machine

Posted On: 9 Apr 2009

An indoor trainer is a lot like a love doll. Even if it’s the best one on the market, it’s still not the real thing. That said, the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine simulates road feel and resistance with remarkable fidelity. And unlike a love doll, a session on the Road Machine should leaving you feeling sufficiently fulfilled.


Pedal Pushers Online Review - Kinetic Pro

Posted On: 11 Feb 2009

Kurt Kinetic fietstrainers

Posted On: 24 Oct 2008

Meestal zijn fietstrainers niet zo heel spannend, maar als we een foto toegestuurd krijgen waarop een Vicious Cycles trackbike afgebeeld staat, dan gaan de wenkbrouwen toch wel even omhoog.

Zo is er een Kinetic Rock and Roll versie, waarbij de fiets op de trainer ook zijdelings kan bewegen, zodat je ook kunt staan op de pedalen. 'Outdoor experience on an indoor bike' zoals hun slogan zegt.

The first thing that struck me was how wide the base of this trainer is. Then I saw someone riding on one and they were rocking back and forth, standing up and crankin’ it. That’s the secret of the Rock ‘n’ Roll fluid trainer from Kurt Kinetic, a $560 to $670 trainer that uses elastomers between the plates under the flywheel (read “more” for detail pics). There’s a lockout option to keep it stable like a traditional trainer, and you can buy just the base ($336) to if you already have a KK trainer. The legs are removeable for storage and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

"Kurt didn't invent the fluid trainer, but the company perfected it. The Kinetic Trainer's resistance is smooth and silent, from 20 to 2,500 watts. Effort at 20 mph feels like 20 mph on the road, thanks to precision construction and careful calibration."

"Fluid Resistance makes this as quiet as trainers come, with a road like feel, it's stiff enough for sprints and intervals. Stability is superb. The Flywheel...gives a smooth ride that maintain momentum if you stop pedaling...Expensive, but worth it."
