Kinetic Smart 2 trainers are the easiest way to get started with app-based training and are battery-powered and portable.

Use with training apps

Zwift bike trainer

Patented Kinetic fluid resistance

ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart

Connect with the best apps

Full virtual course rides and detailed workout programs with custom-tailored resistance targets are available with apps like Kinetic Fit, Zwift, TrainerRoad, Rouvy, Kinomap, The Sufferfest and FulGaz.

Patented Kinetic fluid resistance

Fluid resistance increases or decreases with wheel speed. Riders must shift gears and speed up or slow down to vary resistance. Training apps can give riders power targets to match by varying gears and speed, just like riding outdoors.

Dual-band communication

Kinetic Smart 2 trainers use the latest communication protocols: ANT+, ANT+ FE-C, and Bluetooth FTMS on connected smart phones, tablets and laptops. Kinetic Smart 2 trainers are also compatible with Garmin devices.

Kinetic Quality and Compatibility

Top ride quality and construction

Maximum bike compatibility

Kinetic Bike Mounting

Top ride quality and construction

The patented Rock and Roll frame and Kinetic fluid resistance unit provide the highest-quality and durability. A 6.2 lb. flywheel feels like riding outside.

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. (Small Wheel Adapter shown above).

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.

Progressice resistance at its finest.
5 Stars
Progressice resistance at its finest.
I ride a lot. I've been putting off buying a new trainer for a long time as I enjoy 4 season riding even into single digits but the cleanup and wear stinks. Not to mention the risk of ice.This isn't the latest model of the trainer. However, it is the same hardware as the Road Machine Smart 2 minus the connection of the InRide 3. It comes with InRIde which is Bluetooth while the InRide3 provides both Bluetooth and Ant +. It is easily upgradable for less than 50 bucks for the InRide3 bringing the total price to less than $305 bucks for what I paid (256 + 48). I don't care for the apps so it doesn't much matter to me. I watch Netflix or Amazon Prime when I'm not suffering too much. I can see putting a month into Zwift but it becomes relative to my experience. I've read some troubles with buyers having problems mostly with the Android beta software and I can understand why considering expectations versus the reality of the vast performance differences of the devices and with so much old software smartphones might be running,THere a big thing to remember with this trainer if you want to know numbers and what speed means in watts This trainer simulates a 1% grade and wattage can be estimated quite accurately given all the information out there in the Internet sphere. Kinetic does provide a power curve chart on their website. https://www.kurtkinetic.com/kinetic-power-tech/. This power @ a given speed assumes a 1% grade of a 165lb rider with a 23lb bike. Others have made their power charts as well I posted a chart for reference. Knowing what I know after my first ride I'd say this chart is accurate within reason if not near dead on. Kinetic says their power chart is +/- 3%. My initial ride left me more than impressed by the feel alone as the trainer has a nice roll from the larger than normal 6.5lb flywheel. I 12lbs "pro" flywheel is available to add making the total flywheel 18.5 lbs. It would be good for longer sessions but maybe not so great if you were a powerful sprinter. Wheel slippage might be an issue with proper tension on the roller to the wheel. The devil is in the details.Set is very easy. Please read the instruction if you are not familiar with trainer setups. It comes with its own skewer to be used with the trainer. USE IT! Make sure the skewer lever fits into the slot. Understand how the lock works and READ to instructions if you don't get it by looking at it. It is easy and bulletproof unless there be user error. Make sure you properly contact the roller with the tire. The tire should be properly inflated to its recommended pressure. HOld the roller back and turn to adjustment know until the roller touches the tire then give it a full 2 to 2 1/2 full turn or 8 to 10 quarter turns if that is easier to do.I could say more but I think this is enough. Ill be sure to update if the experience changes.Just buy it unless you don't mind spending 2 to 5 times the money to something you have to plug it. This doesn't need electricity and it seems bulletproof.
