The resistance unit on a Kurt Kinetic fluid bike trainer is like no other. It is engineered not to leak and unlike Blackburn, Cycle-Ops, Elite, and Trek which use a drive shaft and rubber seals to spin the impeller in the fluid chamber, the Kinetic sealed unit is unique. The roller is driven by your bike's rear tire and is connected to the impeller inside the sealed fluid chamber by a magnetic coupler. Twelve neodymiumrare earth magnets, 6 per side, create a virtual drive shaft to spin the impeller inside the sealed fluid chamber. The drive shaft has two parts and the magnetic coupler links those parts while it spins as a single unit. No o-rings which eventually degrade and leak. And that is how Kurt Kinetic can provide an unconditional lifetime warranty.
