Kinetic by Kurt Rock and Roll Smart Trainer

This is a great indoor trainer! It was easy to assemble and is super sturdy. I ride 2 to 3 times a week. I recommend this product.

It took a day to get used to the action of this trainer, but it is the best I've had. The app that is paired to it works very well. I suggest you buy a holder for your phone to mount on the handle bars. I highly recommend this!

I purchased this unit directly from Kinetic, and it arrived within 5 days. Installing the unit was easy (there are multiple videos on YouTube showing how to do that), but getting the InRide sensor to work wasn't as easy. and required some tweaking.On the other hand, Kinetic Customer Support was helpful and after following their instructions exactly, now my unit is smart and working (I got it hooked up to both Kinetic FIT and Zwift using my iPad).I have been riding it twice this week and everything is working fine. I am sure I will put it to good work this winter:-)

Easy to put together and start to use. Seems sturdy so far.

This was a horribly disappointing experience. After setting it up, and snagging my finger, the thing was crooked and leaned to one side heavily no matter what I did. I followed all the guidance online for this issue to no avail. Then I just tried it out, even though it was still slightly leaning and it was kind of fun for about a minute, then there was this audible clunk sound and it stopped having any resistance and then I started smelling a burning plastic smell. I looked at the ground and some weird black shiny plastic had flown out of the housing of the flywheel. Packing this thing up to send back was a nightmare, and the overall experience was very disappointing. Pro tip: if you buy one, don't get it for Christmas as their tech support is out for the holidays and when you unpack it, take photos of each step so that you know how to fit it all back in the box properly if you get a bad one like I did. Good luck!

Don’t have anything to compare to but it works fine for me, connects to swift with no issues.

Use this with Trainer Road app.Easy set up .

I hated this trainer. It’s hardly “smart”. The rock ‘n’ roll feature is not fun to use. Even when standing, it doesn’t feel comfortable. It has a hum/buzz/vibration to it that is very uncomfortable. The bike never feels stable. It always feels like it’s lurching off to the left or lurching off to the right. I was always trying to jerk it back into position. If you’re looking for a fluid trainer, you can do a lot better for the price. The rock ‘n’ roll is not a good trainer to buy. I returned it for the Wahoo Core, which is more expensive, but better in every way. I love it, and it is smart. Get a fluid trainer if you like, but don’t waste money on the rock and roll feature.

Estaba muy emocionado con el entrenador, pero a las pocos usos se descalibro y no marcaba casi nada de cadencia, pedi ayuda a servicio a cliente y me enviaron el proceso de reset, al hacer el proceso de reset del sensor ya no pude emparejarlo ya que no me aparecer en la aplicacion.He estado tratando de obtener soporte de Kinetic, pero me dieron de nuevo la instruccion de reset, ademas de pedirme csambiar la bateria. Despues de hacer esto una vez mas, me dicen que solo tiene la version anterior InRide2 en vez de la verion 3 que tiene mi equipo.Servicio a cliente no responde o da actualizaciones, creo que esta fue una perdida total de dineroEspero que esto se pueda arreglar, ya tiene casi 2 meses y no hay seguimiento

Lamentable. Después de 15 de uso no se conecta a ningún dispositivo, una gran manera de tirar tu dinero. Por supuesto sin soporte tecnico

Ok. So waited about month and a half to make this review.Really love the trainer.1. The natural slight movement of the bike (even if not riding by standing) - finding it much more comfortable than the usual fixed trainer. Although, took me two-three days to get used to this and staying straight on the bike.2. Well made.3. If you have a budget - get the new model Kinetic R1 with the same natural bike movement, but with the direct drive option.--Since the trainer is a wheel on you will have several uncomfortable things (as for any other similar wheel on trainer of any company):- advised to have a special tire (especially if the bike is not a road bike and have off-road tires on it)- advised to loosen the bolt of the wheel after each ride- before each ride check the tire pressure- advised to clean the tire before each ride- advised to calibrate before each usage (it will take a 10 minutes ride + calibration of 30 seconds on the Kinetic mobile App) - same thing advised on any wheel-on trainer---Using this trainer with Zwift.The trainer is coming with attached sensor inRide Smart 3 and considered as a "smart trainer" since it will provide Power, cadence and speed directly to Zwift (no need for additional devices, well - a heart rate monitor maybe, but this is an additional option).

Exactly as advertised and arrived very quickly.

Good quality product. Very well packaged.
