Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Turbo Trainers
Arrived the next day and well packed. Set up was pretty easy although no instructions about putting trainer together. I would advise putting the resistance adjuster hook through the tyre roller holes before you attach it to the frame as you can't get it hook on once you have bolted the roller to the frame. Fixing the back wheel in place was straightforward and the tightening bolts are very sturdy and have locking nuts. The 2 front legs pivot independently to compensate for any ground unevenness. Best way to get on is to put one foot on the trainer frame and then straddle the bike from the back rather than use the pedals. I had to chock up the front wheel about 3 or 4 inches with wood to level out the bike. I set the resistance fairly low to begin with and tried riding for an hour. To get higher resistance i just shifted up the gears. Noise level was acceptable and ride is not like the feel you get out on the road - its more like using a good quality gym exercise bike with the benefits of using your own bike. Next time I'll tighten up the resistance and drop to a lower gear as it may save wear and tear on the back wheel a bit Early days yet but overall it feels like a well built sturdy trainer and good value for the money.Read full review

This fluid turbo trainer looks and feels as if it should retail at a higher price but I was not complaining! It was delivered very swiftly, so full points to the supplier. Came well packed, and with a little head scratching looking at the instructions, it proved to be simple to construct and set up. Two spanners were supplied for bolting the actual turbo unit to the frame, although the instructions didn't cover that bit, you had to work it out yourself, but not difficult. Some people complain that they need two people to hold bike and adjust the skewer clamps either side of the bike, but I managed it fine by myself, very easy. If I was asked if there was any way to improve the product I would simply say improve the instructions to deal with actually constructing it because they have been translated and there is always something lost in translation and we are not all engineers! Despite being reasonably intelligent, I still managed to put the unit on the wrong way round at first attempt, lol! I do like to do my homework before committing to buying products with names I don't recognise. You have to look carefully to track down any reviews, because there is so little about this model on the internet so it is presumed it was marketed by another company under a different name at one time. Failing to find it I took a chance, and am glad I did! For me, to simply do some indoor cycling whilst the weather is so cold and miserable on my new carbon frame road bike is a boon and I find that there is plenty of resistance and if I want more I just pedal harder, simple as that. For the price, its a quality manufactured product which does what it says in its advert, certainly more efficient than magnets, and very quiet as well. I would recommend it wholeheartedly.Read full review

Bought this to help acclimatise myself to my saddle as well as strength training. No instructions worth talking about but fairly easy to assemble. Feels more authentic than my magnetic indoor bike. Noise level is acceptable. No controls apart from the tensioner and no readouts. Have been using with YouTube trainers and gear changes increase effort level in a realistic way. Seems well built but still early days.

This was the cheapest fluid trainer I could find, just wanted something to see if I could tolerate indoor cycling. This thing is awesome, cant see why I would upgrade, does everything I need and its solidly built! Have only done 4x30 min sessions but the trainer is excellent and cant see it breaking. If you are worried that its too cheap and will be poor quality, its not. Almost think they would sell more if they put the price up, buy now before they read my review.

this fluid trainer is just the ticket for me . First the legs are good and robust construction for getting of and on the bike , the back wheel feels nice and secure . My last turbotrainer the back wheel kept jumping out of lock, the bentley runs as quiet as you would expect and nice and smooth. Over all well pleased
