Strengths: Smooth ride, feels like you're actually riddingWeaknesses: You run the risk of getting off the rollers and hurt yourself pretty bad.Bottom Line: When I first saw your e-motion trainer I was impressed, but that quickly went away when I saw that the guy ridding it (he had rode it for almost 3000 miles at the time I saw him), a Gulf War Veteran riding in support of our troops, had a broken arm, when I asked him how that happened, he told me he had fallen off the trainer. I think I changed my mind immediately and realized how dangerous your trainer could be, if you go off the rollers while riding it. I don't think I'll be buying one any time soon, until this design peril is solved.

Strengths: Well Built.
Excellent settings for varied workoutsWeaknesses: Power Meter Readings if you are using their table off by 30-50 watts for me per level when compared to my powertap. Not accurate at all for me. Also a handle adjustment of resistance settings would be nice.Bottom Line: This is my 4th season on these rollers. Can do everything from sprint intervals, mountain simulation, endurance rides etc. Anything as on the road. No maintence needed so far. Still the original belt. A great engaged workout. This was my first rollers and in about 20 minutes up and riding comfortably. No hands in about an hour.

Bottom Line: How do you know if these reviews are a plant by the manufacturer or outright manipulated lies from a media control agency?

Strengths: Outstanding quality
Easy to use
Realistic road feelWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Awesome!! This is the best training tool I have ever used. Never used my old mag trainer-couln't stand it. I have over 3 dozen rides on these rollers so far. I will come into the riding season in shape rather than have to start building up in the spring. Can stand out of the saddle, do intervals, easy spinning, you name it. Easy to use-had never used rollers before and could ride these the very first time. Highly recommended!!! Look forward to my training rides. Great for specific training, great for those who live in rainy/cold weather.

Strengths: Variable resistance
Smooth bearings
Well designed and excellent machining
Seemingly bombproof
Able to crank out wattage which almost matches wattage put out on the road.
Quiet
Best thing to match road feel while riding insideWeaknesses: These are a wish list rather than weaknesses:
If it could be engineered; wattage and remote resistance variation would make this thing absolutely complete.Bottom Line: I've had very little experience on rollers prior to getting the e-motions. I did my homework and looked at a number of different options for winter training. Because of the resistance, these won over several other fantastic rollers. I did not expect that I would be doing intervals, sprint work and climbing on these rollers... but with my power tap, it is now the only thing I need to train through the winter. The e-motion rollers saved my winter training - bottom line. I have hammered on these things for 2 years, and they are still quiet, smooth and I look forward to riding them, whereas my trainer was looking more like some cruel torture device after 1 month.
I was asked if I rode a regular set of rollers, would the skills be transferable from the floating rollers - yep. I mount fixed rollers with a little more than one pedal stroke - I'm more attentive, but that is it. An added benefit that I noticed is that my core strength on the bike is improved in the spring. Definitely worth the extra cash if you want what I think is the best off-season training tool out there.
