"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. The resistance unit is driven by magnets, so the fluid unit is completely sealed - no need for a vulnerable shaft seal - and the larger-than-average 2 1/8 inch roller reduces tire wear. It's the closet you'll get to the feel of a real ride."Bicycle Magazine, May 2002. www.bicycling.com
"The Kurt Kinetic is my easily my favorite trainer for three reasons: its durability, realistic feel and quick setup...the Kinetic is quiet and fights back directly proportional to how much power you throw at it... for those serious about their training, there's no finer option than this..." Andrew Juskaitis (Bicycling Magazine, 5 Chainring ranking)
