A bit pricey, but worth it for its stability, durability, and reliability. I’ve used this as my go-to indoor cycling roller for the past year, and it has held up well. While there is some noise, the rollers themselves are smooth when riding. From my experience, heavier bikes tend to make the ride noisier. The cable has loosened slightly over time but still feels strong and nowhere near breaking.

Only one thing missing from this roller, and thats the adjustability to ride with longer bikes. You'll be hard pressed to find a short enough Mountain Bike to fit on its extremely short length. With todays slack head tube angles and longer bikes overall compared to bikes 20 years ago. It works great for my dirt jumper but if I want to ride the enduro bike on it Ill have to make some extensions and find a longer band that drives the front roller.

I really enjoy the challenge of this. I was expecting a challenge when buying it but was expecting the potential for it to not be possible for me to use. I found myself able to free-ride on it the first time which was unexpected. I recommend putting this near a wall that you can lean your elbow against, having a foot stool on the opposite side of the bike to assist with stepping up and also as a catch for if you begin to tip/want to stop. I did fall, as expected. I happened to have a laundry hamper with a soft mattress topper in it nearby the stool and fell into it. Watch videos of people using it, decide if it is for you. A lot of people skip roller trainers. I wanted something that wasn't riding in place, kept my interest and could help train my core muscles. It is good stuff, you'll feel good after a 15 minute session. Wear a helmet!

Word to the wise, this product is excellent but you need to know what you're buying. I was an amateur cyclist once upon a time and decided to go from a stationary bike trainer to this to up my game and train to have better balance. This product and those like it needs a little bit of training and especially focus once you are already going because it is like riding out in the street, only instead you're doing it at home in your living room. If you don't stay focused and you go off of the rollers you can actually really hurt yourself.I wanted to give this product 5 stars because I like the color, I like the brand (I have bought many of their products) and I like to train with rollers. The issue is that the rollers themselves start to wear very quickly and I even had one of mine crack, which I rode on quite a bit before it happened but it still shouldn't have cracked in my opinion. Other than that, the installation isn't the easiest but the manual does do a pretty good job of walking you through it.I would recommend this product to those looking to by a rollers type of trainer but just keep in mind that you need to practice before you master riding this way and I highly recommend focus at all times.

sono i classici rulli liberi parabolici, molto più facili da utilizzare rispetto a quelli con cilindro piatto, i rulli sono infatti più stretti nel centro e più larghi nei bordi per aiutare il ciclista a rimanere sempre nel centro evitando che le ruote possano finire fuori dall'attrezzo causando rovinose cadute. Sono abbastanza silenziosi ma non del tutto privi da rumore ( ad alti rpm sono simili alla centrifuga della lavatrice). Facili da montare e abbastanza comodi da utilizzare, mi sono trovato molto bene.

Arrived in a box that has clearly been opened before... used product. Missing all its screws and only had washers and band. Unable to assemble... Delivery was late (although that is a separate Amazon Prime problem). Returned unusable/ unable to assemble product the next day. Reordered replacement of same product. Will update review... maybe was just a defective product... if they send me another used product, I'm guessing its a supply thing and they're trying to pass this stuff off as new... Will have to try a different roller...Update: Got second replacement order. All parts present this time (including screws). Assembled just fine. Looks new. Has some grease on the rollers which is interesting but I'm assuming during the manufacturing process, wiped off. Not sure if I'm sized correctly but initial attempt there is enough resistance to cycle. Worried more about riding forward off the tacx then falling sideways but that may be a sizing issue. Overall feels good. Slightly louder than I was expecting. Will update with results.Update 2:Sized correctly works fine. My large trek bike is at the upper limit on button 1 but it works great. Higher resistance than i expected. Much louder than I expected. Wondering if aluminum would be quieter but the roller works just fine. Seems sturdy enough. Able to get a good workout. Don't have anything else to compare to though. Not convinced the parabolic roller shape is the best but the thing works just fine for me. So updating to 5 stars.

Regardless if this roller was on carpet or hard floor, the rolling resistance was difficult. The bolts were torqued correctly, band installed correctly and when you rolled the roller with your hands it was fine.The issue is when you apply your weight and get on your bike. This is suppose to simulate road feel and help you with your balance. Idk if it's because it's made out of plastic vs metal but the rolling was not smooth and made me fall off. I could go for 15 minute stints but then the roller would become difficult or seize. I have no idea if it was just my rollers but I returned them.I did have to wait an additional week to get them delivered due to the snow which is understandable.

I have been cycling for a long time, but have no experience with rollers. I understand that as rulers go, these are some of the easier ones to learn on. I still had a really hard time, and crashed within 15 minutes.When I was looking for it was the real feel of road cycling. And also the ability to watch TV while I work out. So I returned the rollers, and bought a Kinetic rock ‘n’ roll trainer. It’s amazing. Strongly suggest kinetic if you are looking for a natural feel, but don’t want to put 100% of your concentration on your trainer apparatus.

Lo recomiendo 100%.Muy entretenido, nada que ver con los fijos.Tenía en mente comprarme uno de este estilo y este año me lance, y no me arrepiento para nada. El tema del equilibrio y no salirte es como todo cogerle el truco, y lo que cuentan las leyendas urbanas que es muy difícil y tal, mentira, a los 5 min ya le tienes cogido el truco (y no es mentira). Es muy divertido y no aburre (por lo menos para mí) tanto como el fijo, parece que vas por la carretera.Respecto al ruido, no hace tanto como pensaba, lo normal de unos rodamientos dando vueltas, nada exagerado.Y de la resistencia, pues como en carretera con los platos y pilones, pero vamos que dudo que alguien normal (no profesional) meta todo encima de un aparato de este tipo.

Lieferung erfolgte schnell und gut.Die Rolle lässt sich relativ leicht zusammenbauen, wegen der Einstellung der Entfernung von der vordersten zur mittleren Rolle habe ich kurz mal googlen müssen.Ich empfinde die Rolle als nicht zu laut.Wegen der Nutung:Ich bin blutiger Anfänger und hatte mein Rennrad gerade erst einen Monat als ich die Rolle erhalten habe. Habe die Rolle neben einer Wand aufgebaut und mich auf's Rad gesetzt. Die ersten Versuche waren auch sehr wackelig. Da ging das auch schon stark auf die Unterarme. Aber nach ca. ner halben Stunde war es schon weniger wackelig. Nach zwei Monaten geht es, meines Erachtens, schon ganz gut. Bin bisher nur drei- viermal unfreiwillig abgestiegen, aber nie gestürzt. Konzentrieren muss ich mich schon noch, insbesondere bei "längeren" fahrten. Bediene aber während des Trainings auch noch meine Uhr. Werde demnächst mal versuchen dabei zu trinken.Klare Kaufempfehlung.
