Top ride quality and construction

Our best-in-class trainer frame is portable, light and durable. The Control Power Unit has a massive flywheel to provide the highest inertia in the category and an unmatched ride quality.

Maximum bike compatibility

Most bikes can mount on a Kinetic tire-drive trainer. Including bikes with thru-axles, internally-geared hubs, and wheels as small as 16 inches.

Get started training

All Kinetic tire-drive trainers are easy to get started training on. Just mount the resistance unit, replace your bike's quick-release skewer with the Kinetic skewer and mount your bike. If your bike uses a 12 mm thru axle we recommend using the Kinetic Traxle thru-axle adapter.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the bicycle trainer. Some mention it's outstanding, has a rock solid build, and is easy to use. However, others say that it broke in the first 30 days, is buggy, and has mediocre UI.

"...The frame is tremendously solid and the flywheel offers realistic and relatively quite spinning until you hit high speeds where the noise is quite..." Read more

23 customers mention13 positive10 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the bicycle trainer. Some mention it's super easy to setup and provides an effective, interesting workout. They say the instructions are clear and straightforward. However, others say that it'd be frustrating to use every 10 minutes or less, and the Kinetic Fit app does not provide a streamline process for working with Garmin devices. They also say there's no way to make the resistance harder or easier, and it becomes virtually unpedalable at its maximum resistance.

"...The set-up/pairing of the trainer with Zwift is very straightforward -- I followed the advice of other reviewers and bought an ANT+ dongle w/USB..." Read more

"...Here is my experience:First, there is no way to make the resistance harder or easier. Yup, you heard it right...." Read more

"...At first, it seemed to be the case. I was able to assemble and connect without any problems. I did the firmware update and calibrated the unit...." Read more

"...It also does not change the resistance of the flywheel, it just measures the work and uses algorithms to determine your exercise state...." Read more

20 customers mention9 positive11 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the bicycle trainer. Some mention that it works brilliantly with Zwift, and with Apple products. It is accurate and works every time. However, others say that it will not work properly if you are trying to use your device to listen to it. Eventually the trainer would only work for about 15 minutes before making a loud buzzing.

"...Given the excellent resistance control, inter-operability with Zwift, and overall ride quality, i'm giving 4 out of 5 stars." Read more

"...Second, the fancy modes don't work. I have tried several rides on the app and the supposed automatic resistance adjustment just isn't doing it...." Read more

"...It is accurate, works every time, has a great "road feel", and is super easy to get my bike on/off of...." Read more

"...App: The App does not work with Android devices well at all. It said that after you load it the first time it will ask you to sign up. It did not...." Read more

13 customers mention0 positive13 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the accuracy of the bicycle trainer. They mention that the cadence isn't always accurate, there is a significant variance between the speed measurements, and the calibration dance is highly confusing. They also say that both the speed and FTP measurement are inaccurate and fluctuate significantly. Customers also report that when they coast, there's a thud, knocking sound coming from the unit.

"...The only drawback...cadence isn't always accurate, but if that is important to you then purchase a designated cadence sensor and pair that to iFit..." Read more

"...(and the unit spins so fast it makes noise that my wife complains about)...." Read more

"...I also found out it does not measure cadence, meaning I still have to connect other sensors, which is not a huge deal since at least I have..." Read more

"...and it took me 30 minutes to get it working and I was never able to get the bike calibrated at all...." Read more

12 customers mention0 positive12 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the connectivity of the bicycle trainer. They mention that it stopped connecting, the Kinetic Fit app crashes every 10 minutes, and the iOS app itself is becoming buggy and unstable. The connections are not seamless, and videos cannot be connected.

"...Fourth, the app is very buggy generally and has a lousy UI. It takes a lot of work to figure out how to do anything...." Read more

"...Evidently, even with the paid subscription you cannot connect videos. That requires a separate app and subscription...." Read more

"...However, after the first firmware upgrade which was required, it stopped connecting...." Read more

"Worked great for 2 months then wouldn't connect via bluetooth to either Zwift or Rouvy fitness apps...." Read more

Good riding experience with Zwift, but Kinetic App has issues. Power connector is fragile.

Good riding experience with Zwift, but Kinetic App has issues. Power connector is fragile.
My Kinetic Road Machine fluid resistance trainer gave me years of dependable service, so I thought I would upgrade from fluid resistance unit to a digital/electronic set-up that could work with Zwift and provide some new capabilities.The Zwift experience with this trainer has been great. It gets me so much closer to the feeling of a real ride, and the presence of other riders injects some friendly competition and incentive to work harder. The set-up/pairing of the trainer with Zwift is very straightforward -- I followed the advice of other reviewers and bought an ANT+ dongle w/USB extension cord, and have had a flawless connection 100% of the time. The large flywheel on the trainer results in a smooth and realistic feel to the ups and downs of the terrain. I use the default Zwift settings for sensitivity of resistance to incline, and it works very well for me.There are some problems, though, which I think Kinetic should address:1)The Kinetic App documentation does not match the latest version of App. There are settings in the App that don't show up in the documentation and vice-versa. I contacted Kinetic customer support about this and they basically said that the App gets updated too frequently for the documentation to keep up. There are some features/settings in the App for which I'd really like an explanation and can't find one.2)There is a setting in the app for "position" of the brake/resistance. It doesn't seem to work -- when you increase the position to anything above zero, you get maximum resistance. If this setting worked, it would be possible to manually adjust resistance without Zwift. I think it could also be possible to ride without electrical power.3)You have to use the App to calibrate the trainer (can't do it in Zwift), so each ride requires opening the App, pairing with the trainer, warm-up, calibrate, un-pairing, start Zwift, pair, choose workout, ride! fairly time-consuming4)The power connector to the trainer sticks straight out and it's easy to knock it or trip/pull the power cable and break the female receptacle in the unit. I had read about this in one of the other reviews, and tried to be careful but I still managed to break it. I ended-up taking the unit apart, removing the broken power receptacle and then soldering some wires that i then connected to the power cable with an external plug (see photo). I think Kinetic should re-think their power connection strategy on this unit.5) What is the USB connector for on the resistance unit??? None of the documentation says anything about it!Most of the above are annoyances, and the broken power connector was my fault. Given the excellent resistance control, inter-operability with Zwift, and overall ride quality, i'm giving 4 out of 5 stars.
