Whats All The Fuss About Kurt Kinetic Bike Trainers?
A sorta strange question and maybe stranger place to be asked the question. While at the library today, I was asked about Kurt Kinetic bike trainers and why the top riders tend to gravitate towards Kurt Kinetic. I guess the question made sense because it came from a guy that I see from time to time at they gym and also on the road riding. Now while I'm at the gym, more than half the time you will see me on an exercise bike... that is until we approach winter and once the cold weather hits, I may be at home riding a Kurt Kinetic bike trainer.
This guy put a good together a good video about the Kurt Kinetic Rock And Roll Trainer.
Now I personally do not have experience riding the Kurt Kinetic Rock and Roll Trainer. The concept seems good to me but I'm more of a go in a straight line kind of guy, rather than rocking a bike back and forth. Maybe I learned that from my days as a bodybuilder and powerlifter. The thought process there was don't waste energy. However, Kurt Kinetic listened to its customers and this trainer was the result of what indoor cyclists wanted.

* The Most Road Realistic Ride Available On An Indoor Bike Trainer
* Most Stable Frame In The Industry
* Unconditional Lifetime Warranty
Those that know me understand that I'm partial to Kurt Kinetic bike trainers, perhaps because I think that they've nailed the fluid trainer down. Don't get me wrong, I like CycleOps too but I guess we all have to have our favorites. At one point you had to be very wary in choosing a fluid trainer because due to its inherent design, fluid trainers were prone to leak. Somewhere along the line Kurt Kinetic figured things out and I was trying to explain this to the guy at the library. I pointed him to this video about the Kurt Kinetic Fluid Resistance Unit. I think it says it all.
Perhaps my personal favorite trainer is the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine. I did a writeup on the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine here. I've found that it provided the smoothest ride that I've ever had on a bike trainer. To me it acted as close to riding my bike outdoors as I've ever felt on a bike trainer.

* Superior Progressive Resistance
* Wattage Calibrated Resistance Unit
* Realistic Slowdown
* Unconditional Lifetime Warranty
Oh yeah. And unless I'm mistaken, the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine is still the official bike trainer of the USA Cycling Team (please correct me if I'm wrong).
So, you can see that I do hold some allegiance to Kurt Kinetic trainers. I realize that there are other trainers made by Kurt Kinetic but I was just trying to relay information to the guy at the library why between the road realistic feel, the stability and quality of the trainers themselves, and how the trainers are backed by an unconditional lifetime warranty, it is a hard combination to beat. My recommendation as we approach the colder months is to stay in shape this winter by riding a Kurt Kinetic bike trainer.
