Kurt Kinetic Road Machine Trainer

Critics love it. Riders adore it. Join the pack on the world's best fluid trainer. Quiet. Smooth. And completely leakproof. It's the most realistic ride out there. Tested and rated the best by the Cycling press and loved by riders, no wonder it's the official bicycle trainer for the USA Cycling Team. It's quiet, smooth, leak-proof, and offers possibly the most accurate simulation of outdoor riding. Powertap calibrated, the fluid trainer automatically adjusts resistance as the rider changes speed. Whether you are sprinting on an interval or out for a Sunday cruise, the resistance is true to the road.

The Kinetic Road Machine was designed not to leak. Unlike other fluid trainers, the Kinetic has eliminated the drive shaft and all the seals that could fail with extended use. The Kinetic Road Machine has a completely sealed fluid chamber that utilizes a patented magnetic coupler to spin the impeller inside the fluid chamber. Utilizing thermodynamic liquid silicon provides consistent resistance at all temperatures. Unlike other fluid trainers, the Kinetic Road Machine fluid will not lose viscosity and the resistance will not get easier when the fluid heats up. With 80 external cooling fins with intercooler, the Kinetic Road Machine operating temperature is the lowest known in the industry.

To top it off, the Road Machine is mounted on the best frame money can buy. The robotically welded trapezoidal base covers more area than any other trainer in the industry, giving the rider unmatched stability and strength. Its patented quick release attachment accommodates 99% of OEM skewers and there are parts available to make it compatible with all track, BMX, and even SRAM hubs. The legs are adjustable to three positions so the user can lower or raise the rear tire to accommodate tires and bikes of all sizes. The resistance unit and the legs fold close to the frame for easy storage. Non-marring PVC feet absorb irregularities in the floor and a softer plastic is used on the adjustment knobs so they will not break if dropped.

You'll wonder what you did without it.  From sprints to intervals to an all-day cruise, the powertap calibration gives you the truest simulation of an outdoor ride. Automatic resistance adjustments as you change speeds. It's the trainer you've been waiting for.

• 2.85 kg flywheel for realistic coast down
• Powertap calibrated resistance unit
• Thermodynamically neutral silicone resistance fluid
• Consistent resistance at multiple temperatures
• Lowest operating temperature of any fluid trainer
• Smooth, quiet resistance from 5-3000 watts
• Approved for tandem use
• Guaranteed not to leak
• Large 6cm roller reduces tire wear
• Lifetime warranty on frame and 5yr. warranty on resistance unit

The key benefits that are entirely unique to the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine are:

• Completely sealed, seamless fluid resistance unit that cannot leak (patented)
• Neodyium magnetic virtual drive shaft for seamless, non-mechanical coupling to submerged resistance unit. No seals or gaskets to fail.
• Can withstand sudden accelerations of 0 mph to 50 mph repeatedly without failure, far more load than a cyclist could ever generate.
• 80 cooling vanes molded onto the resistance housing maintain a safe, moderate temperature of the resistance housing even at highest speeds. It’s impossible to burn yourself on the trainer on the trainer housing.
• Heat resistant, thermodynamically neutral silicone resistance bath does not change density since fluid temperature does not increase.
• Resistance level remains stable throughout workout; it does not become easier as the trainer is ridden longer since it doesn’t overheat.
• Variable resistance unit increases resistance at the same rate as resistance accumulates outdoors: The unit is calibrated using a power meter to verify authentic accumulation of resistance. The road feel is nearly identical to riding outdoors. You ride harder, it gets harder.
• Trainer frame is constructed using automated techniques to insure perfectly level stance. Vinyl compensator pads automatically accommodate uneven floors for a level ride.
• The Kurt Kinetic frame has a wider and deeper tripod surface area than any other trainer currently available, making it the most stable.
• Kurt Kinetic Road Machine trainers accommodate all popular wheel sizes.
• The Kurt Kinetic Road Machine bike mounting system will outlast every other indoor trainer mounting system by years.

Kinetic is proud to now offer a no-nonsense UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME WARRANTY .

We stand behind our products like no one else in the industry.

Our UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME warranty:

• Covers ALL parts on both the resistance unit and the frame.

• Is applicable for normal wear and tear OR manufacturers defects.

• Covers the original owner of a Kinetic trainer for a LIFETIME.

Most of our competitors fill their Lifetime Warranties with legal jargon that make the definition of "Lifetime" meaningless, using disclaimers like "does not apply to parts that have been worn out through normal use". We unconditionally guarantee to the original owner, a lifetime of parts on the frame AND the resistance unit. At Kinetic we are so proud of our superior products that we don't need legal jargon or fine print. That means you will be happy that you bought Kinetic products.

The THB-Ergo software is a low cost entry point to power training.

It is for use on a stationary trainer and runs on your Mac or PC.  

THB -Ergo is ANT+ compliant, meaning it can wirelessly talk to any ANT+ compatible sensor such as Garmin on your bike using the ANT+ USB stick supplied by THB.  ANT+ has become the industry standard method of wireless communication used in both sporting and medical applications.  THB is an ANT Alliance member

Listed below are three different scenarios for training with power using THB-Ergo, in increasing cost but also increasing accuracy.
1- Using Wheel Speed to Determine Power
When training on a home trainer (such as a Kurt Kinetic) THB-Ergo can use an ANT+ speed sensor attached to your rear wheel to measure your speed. From this, power is computed by using the known relationship between speed and power on the trainer. This is the cheapest power solution, but uses the manufacturers one-size-fits-all power curve.

2 – Custom Calibrated Trainer Fitted with ANT+ sensor
At THB, we have the facility to custom calibrate the power curve of an indoor trainer. Measurements are made at a wide range of steady state power outputs (50-500 watts) using a wheel fitted with a PowerTap hub being driven by a motor capable of 1500 watts. Then, using a statistical analysis process known as Least-Squares, a custom power curve is generated that is specific to the individual trainer.  As part of this process, an ANT+ sensor is mounted to the trainer that THB-Ergo uses directly to compute power.

3 – Using Your ANT+ PowerTap, SRM or Quarq Power Cranks
THB-Ergo still offers some unique features even if you have a power meter. Firstly, it uses your computer’s screen, so all the power numbers are easily visible on the heads up display. You can also display the real-time graph of power, heart rate, cadence and speed. However, even more unique, is the ability to compute Normalized Power and hence Training Stress Score (TSS) in real time.

Analysis of Training Data
Using the THB-Ergo calendar view you can review files from previous sessions and do lap analysis of average lap power, cadence, heart rate, etc. through the calendar screen.  Weekly TSS and total training time is also displayed.

A THB-Ergo session is output as a “FIT” file, an industry standard ANT+ compliant file format for exercise data. This file format is compatible with the most popular training analysis software (eg WKO+) and also Garmin and other ANT+ compatible systems
