Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine Indoor Bicycle Trainer List Price: $379.99 Sale Price: Too low to display |
|
The Kinetic Road Machine is the most popular trainer Kinetic makes and has become the company's go-to model for indoor workouts. The perfect workout partner for sprints to intervals to all-day cruising, the Road Machine is quiet, smooth, and, like every Kinetic Trainer, it's 100 percent leak-proof. The power calibration gives you true outdoor simulation while the automatic resistance adjusts as you change speeds. When the rear wheel spins on a fluid trainer, an impeller rotates through liquid to create resistance. Since hydrodynamics and aerodynamics have similar properties, this resistance automatically increases with speed. The result is a smoother, quieter, more road-like experience. This is critical for any indoor cyclist, for the faster you pedal the harder the workload gets, just like an outdoor ride. Trainers with automatically adjusting workloads enable any rider to accurately measure their progress because the workloads are repeatable from day to day. Why Kinetic? Leak-proof Performance Kinetic offers the smoothest, quietest, road-like resistance, and 100 percent leakproof performance. Rather than using leak prone technology, like a drive shaft that penetrates the fluid chamber and depends on O rings and traditional seals, each Kinetic Fluid Trainer features a patented magnetic drive system. By using neodymium magnets to link the drive system together, the dependence on a physical drive shaft entering the fluid chamber is entirely eliminated--which means no need for O rings or seals that will eventually wear out and leak. Biggest Flywheel Kinetic Fluid Trainers are equipped with the heaviest flywheels available, ranging from a solid 4.4 pounds to a massive 18 pounds. The result is an ultra smooth, road-like ride without altering the force curve. So every acceleration and coast down delivers the experience of riding outdoors. Stability With the trapezoidal leg design and the largest footprint of any trainer, Kinetic Fluid Trainers keep power and motion focused on the flywheel. So even during hard, out-of-the-saddle pedaling, the ride remains rock steady. Works with Specialy Bikes Kinetic is the only trainer approved for use with tandems. Kinetic Trainers are also fully compatible with wheels measuring 16 to 29 inches (outside diameter), including bikes with flip-off skewers, breezer drops-outs, and nutted axles on track and BMX styling. Low Operating Temperature According to the laws of physics, energy is never lost or gained, but simply changes form. In the case of a fluid trainer, the energy of the spinning impeller inside the fluid chamber is converted into heat. Kinetic Fluid Trainers have been designed with 80 cast aluminum cooling fins to dissipate heat and provide the lowest operating temperature of any trainer. Thermodynamically Neutral Unlike other fluid trainers that lose resistance when the fluid is heated up, Kinetic Fluid Trainers use thermodynamically neutral liquid silicon to ensure a consistent, measurable and repeatable workload at all temperatures. Features: Measurable and repeatable workload Compatible with Pro Flywheel Wattage calibrated resistance unit Sealed fluid chamber with magnetically coupled driveshaft Thermodynamically neutral silicone resistance fluid Consistent resistance at multiple temperatures 80 cooling fins to dissipate heat Lowest operating temperature of any fluid trainer Guaranteed not to leak Unconditional lifetime warranty Lifetime crash replacement policy Alternative cone cup Includes a DVD with assembly Instructions and a 60-minute workout from Coach Troy Jacobson, official coach of Ironman Specifications: Flywheel Weight: 6.25 pounds for realistic coast down Coast Down Time: 15-second coast from 20 miles per hour Resistance: 5 to 3,000+ watts Roller: 2-1/8 inches The Kinetic Road Machine Rear Wheel Trainer features a smooth quiet resistance from 5-3000 watts, and 6.25 lb. freewheel for realistic coast down.Uses one CR2032 battery for computer head (CY3205 or BA0115)Includes QR skewerSmooth quiet resistance from 5-3000 watts6.25 lb.

Triathlons are for Champions
Triathlon is the fastest growing sport in cycling. In fact, the triathlon sport grew 15% last year when the bike business as a whole did not. I think there are some good reasons for this. I started out cycling for transportation, wound up racing, and now ride fast for fun. I get to see from a different perspective how steep the learning curve is for bike racing as opposed to triathlon. What is funny, I think the learning curve for mastering three sports exceeds that of cycling, but there is one word that trumps learning curve when it comes to gaining new entrants to the sport and that word is, inclusiveness.
Competitive cycling is a brutally tough sport. By design, you figure out a way to make your competitor do all the work and then you sprint around and beat him. Every part of a bike race one is on the lookout for an attack, or one is preparing to mount one. It takes a lot of rejection by peers, people who are better at the sport and of course, the feeling of hopelessness that occurs at the moment one is "dropped" to get over the hump and start to "hang". This is an exclusive environment and no wonder people describe bike racers as elitist. The mental games that go on in a peloton are tough when you know what is going on and even tougher when you are learning.
Triathletes, on the other hand, are quite gregarious and want to get everyone on the "swim, bike, run" bandwagon. They somehow manage their schedules and train untold hours but still seem to keep inviting and encouraging others to join them. Where a Category 5 bike race has a mix of people who don't know how to race or even ride well, mixed with fine athletes who are coming into the sport, a triathlon is much better at supporting all levels of athletes at the same time. One only races themselves and the clock. Everybody wins. All the "character building" elements of a grueling sport exist but they are made palatable and people anticipate the challenge.
When I raced bicycles, the sport of Triathlon was in its infancy. I didn't know much about it and over the years have gained a tremendous respect for the folks that are up at 4:00 AM to swim, then have a successful day at work, then do a run or a ride. Incredible!
From a business perspective, I discovered that the things I learned about fitting cyclists for time trials, road, mountain and track applied directly, with one exception. I found that triathletes riding the wrong setup on their bicycles suffered twice! First the ride leg is painful, with people having to sit up because the aerobars are too uncomfortable. Second, the transition to the run is painful because muscles are used disproportionately.
Triathlon bikes are very sexy looking. I find, however, that the least aerodynamic part of a tri bike is the rider and that power trumps aerodynamics within reason. Consider your bike setup and ask these questions. Are you comfortable the whole event? Are you stiff and awkward when transitioning to the run? Do you put as much emphasis on the bike as you do the run or swim? What would happen to your times if you did a bike focus and maybe even a bike change?
One other topic is worth adding to this article and that is the age old question, "Should I have a road bike and a tri bike?" My perspective is, you run with the fast runners, swim with the fast swimmers and should be riding a road bike with the fast cyclists. Even though you may not draft in a triathlon, the fact that you are comfortable going over 30 miles an hour in a pack will translate to much more comfort when at your time trial pace. You will have a bigger range of speed and can take better advantage of the terrain and the curves of the road. Additionally, you will ride smoother and in a straight line which we all know is the shortest distance between two points. So, a good road bike is important. A good tri bike that fits perfectly is a tool that can make a huge difference in the performance and enjoyment of a triathlon, so no wonder so many triathletes take pride in owning a nice time trial machine.

time trial bike versus road bike?
how much faster is a time trial / triathlon bike than a road bike?
Time Trial bikes is when you are against the clock. All you want and need is speed. You want aerodynamics to help you cheat against the wind. However, riding a time trial bike can be very uncomfortable. When riding in the aero position, it really hurts your body because it isn't a natural position you normally do.
Time trial bikes are also not maneuverable. High end time trial bikes will have a disc wheel in the rear to reduce turbulence, but because you have to use a disc wheel, it can be very hard riding in a tight corner. Strong crosswinds can even slow the rider down.
It is also difficult for riders to climb and descend hills since it is heavier than a road bike and unmaneuverable.
A road bike is an all around bike. It serves performance and comfort. Lightweight, sturdy, and very maneuverable.
Road bikes are generally lighter than time trial bikes since a time trial bike can be equipped with a disc wheel. A time trial bike is all aerodynamics since weight isn't a big factor. A road bike is all about performance and weight.
Bottom line:
Road bike, best bike to go for races.
Time trial bike, best bike to go with when you are against the clock.
Note: A time trial bike is not a everyday bike. Generally for people who are very competitive in cycling or triathlons.
