All of our trainers are built on the same frame to provide maximum
stability for everyone. Our trapezoidal base covers the most area (435
square inches) in the industry, making it the most stable. In addition,
the frame is robotically welded to assure the trainer holds your bike
level. Once your bike is in, our cone cups assure that your bike will
never slip out of this trainer, no matter how hard you sprint. We design
them to fit 99% of OEM skewers and there are other cones available to fit
any skewer or axle nut; including track, BMX, and even SRAM Dual Drive
systems. At the same time, our patented quick release lock allows easy and
fast setup and removal.
Tired of riding downhill? The legs on our trainer adjust up and down to
level the bike. By selecting one of the three available positions, the
trainer can fit most 700c, 650c, 20", 24", 26", and
29" so that the bike is level. In most cases, it eliminates the need
for a riser block. The Small Wheel Adapter is needed for tires less than
22" in diameter. When not in use, the legs fold flat against the
frame for easy storage. |

Why
Your kinetic won't leak
Fluid Trainers are praised for the their ability to replicate the feel
and resistance of an outdoor ride. Kurt's fluid resistance unit is
engineered not to leak. The fluid chamber is totally sealed as you can
see by this photo.
The roller, driven by your bike's tire, is connected to the impeller
inside the sealed fluid chamber by a magnetic coupler. Twelve neodymium
rare earth magnets, 6 per side, create a virtual drive shaft to spin the
impeller inside the sealed fluid chamber.
Although the drive shaft has two parts, the magnetic coupler links the
two parts and it spins as a single unit. The magnetic field is so
strong; it can withstand the torque of suddenly accelerating the roller
from 0 to 50 MPH with an electric motor. These magnets are not used for
resistance, but only to couple motion across the leak-free barrier.
Because there is no moving or rotating part penetrating the sealed fluid
chamber, it will not leak. Kurt unconditionally guarantees the
resistance unit for a period of 5 years or 50,000 miles. Unlike
competitive units, which are only warranted for manufactures defects,
Kurt provide a rock solid warranty for a lifetime of use.

why others will
All other fluid based trainers including those made by Cycle-Ops, Trek,
Blackburn and Elite use a drive shaft and rubber seals to spin the
impeller in the fluid chamber. In our opinion this is an inferior
design, doomed for failure. It is not a matter of "IF"
the resistance unit will leak, but "WHEN" the
resistance unit will leak. The more you use the trainer, the faster it
will break or leak. A Cycle-Ops is pictured left.
As you can see, a drive shaft spins the impeller in the fluid chamber.
Under extreme load, this drive shaft spins at 8,000 RPMs and the core
temperature can reach 400 degrees F. A simple rubber "O- ring"
with a backer spring is the only thing that keeps the fluid from leaking
out of the resistance unit.
Using Crank Armstrong, Kurt Engineers can break a competitive trainer in
several hours. Feedback from bike dealers confirmed that leaking fluid
units are a major issue with " other" trainers. We continue to
perform destructive testing on the Kinetic trainer. Running at an
average of 25 MPH, one resistance unit that we have tested has logged
over 40,000 miles at up to 50 MPH with no leaks or breakdowns. The
engineers believe it would run over 100,000 miles without a problem.
