Product Description

This is wind resistance at its finest. Perfect for casual riders. Dual fan and flywheel design is built to last. It’s the only wind trainer with coast down. In our opinion, it’s the best trainer available for under $200 retail. The Kinetics Cyclone. Riders love it. You should have it. * Recommended for riders who average under 18 mph

Strengths:    Smooth, Nice stand, should be trouble free

Weaknesses:    weak resistance above 20MPH

Bottom Line:   
I purchased the Cyclone assuming it would be loud but be have realistic resistance. I found the resistance to be much less than actual wind resistance. I usualy average around 21-22 MPH on a flat time trial course. On the Cyclone I have been averaging 29 MPH. At this speed there is a high pitched whine that actually hurts my ears a little. It is smooth and a good workout - the speeds are just off. I would still recommend it if you dont care about the speed being the same. If you ride it above about 27 MPH you may want to wear ear plugs due to the high pitched whine.

I've been doing what research I can on a cheap(er) trainer, under the $300 range, for this winter. I've been hearing good things about the Kinetic series, but not much about the Cy   Read More »
