  • CycleOps Jet Fluid Pro...

Description

CycleOps’ JetFluid Pro Trainer is your secret weapon. Use it whenever time or weather constraints arise so you can stamp your authority on the hills, races or group rides next time the sun shines. The Pro features progressive resistance, where just like the real world, resistance builds the faster the wheel spins. Charging through 600-watt intervals or spinning easily in the little ring requires no adjustment; the power curve automatically changes to give you a silky-smooth workout. Plus, the Fluid is whisper quiet and the frame is tough, sturdy and stable so you can ride as hard as you want.

Just like being outdoors

Pros:

I bought my first Jet Fluid trainer five years ago and and last year bought one for my son. It's the best trainer I've ever used, easy to setup and excellent for interval training. I use it all year round. CycleOps also has a great Support Service; responsive as well as knowledgeable

Trainer feels much more like the road than I expected - very smooth ride!! Also my kit was missing the quick release skewer (can ride without it if need be)- I called the number on the instructions and they sent me a new one without issues!

Amazing versatiluty

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I bought this trainer a couple years ago after having a Mag trainer for the last 10 years! I couldn't believe how much quieter it is and how smooth the drum is. Why did I wait so long? Now it is so much easier to use virtual trainer or even watch a DVD because I dont have to blast the audio at max. And the power curve is so much better that I am able to tailor my intervals a lot better. This winter will be much better than previous ones for those reasons for sure! Only thing I have trouble with is dialing in the tension on the rear wheel, they could have made it easier to fine tune so I dont get so much slip or tire wear.

Easy and effective!

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
This is a great trainer! I have used other trainers in the past, but this one is the best I've used. Nothing to assemble, easy to set up, and best of all, It has unlimited resistance! I got the training kit from Scheels and it comes with nice extras. I also bought a trainer tire for my road bike so I won't have to worry about burning through my riding tires. One other nice thing is at high cadences I still have resistance.

Solid, Quality trainer

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I've had this trainer for a while, and it has held up to the workload. I used it last winter almost daily. I've taken it to races and let teammates use it too. It's easy getting the bike in and out of the trainer. It's very stable on a variety of surfaces. The resistance has a pretty good feel. Great value.

Purchased my JetFluid trainer last year, used it a lot due to the brutal winter. Very happy with it, no complaints at all. Easy set up, uses limited space and very quiet operation.

My first GOOD Trainer

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I have had the JetFluid Pro for about two years. I am a clydesdale and this trainer is rock solid even with me on. I have the old style with the different tightening mechanism and while it works it isn't as nice as the new one for getting the same tightness everytime (which is important for using Virtual Trainer on TrainerRoad). Overall I could not be more please with it. Rides smooth and it pretty darn quiet for a trainer. It was a little more than I was originally planning on spending, but I think the extra bucks were well worth it as the quality of the Pro series is impeccable.

Real Deal

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
This bad boy is the real deal. Unlike older style trainers, setup is a breeze - just lock it in and go. Solid, steady, and ready for all kinds of training: race warmups, indoor training sessions, long climb simulations, you name it. It's all the trainer I'll ever need.

Excellent Alternative to Outdoor Biking

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I received my trainer last year for Christmas, and I have not been disappointed. I use a number of on line biking videos and get outstanding work outs. It's a great alternative to outdoor biking in the Northeast during the winter months.

Nice Trainer

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I bought this about a year ago as my first trainer and was hooked by the CycleOps lifetime warranty. I race collegiate cycling, and this gets me ready for the spring season. It has held up since then though daily training rides, and has helped me be ready for the season. It allows me to put out some insane power (I barely ever go up to my big chainring, because I can't withstand the pain for too long - but it is great at getting my legs to hurt... that's the point... right? Would definitely buy again. A true on road experience.

Smoothness itself

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I 'upgraded' from a magnetic trainer from another well known brand and very happy with myself for doing so - instead of changing the magnetic resistance you simply use the bike's gears to go faster' just like on the road. The smoothness of the trainer is what sets it apart from magnetic resistance trainers and riding in the sweet spot is just great, although it keeps giving if you want to press on up the cassette and you'll give up before it will

Excellent Trainer

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I've had this particular trainer for a few months now and it is by far the best one I've owned. Power curve is really nice on this trainer. My favorite part is the new clutch knob that makes getting the correct drum pressure on the tire a no brainer.

Good... after a bit of a hiccup

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I bought this on a special deal offer through a large cycle shop group in the UK at the start of autumn. Initially, I was a little disappointed as the tensioning screw was faulty - it wouldn't 'click' - and the shop wanted me to buy another instead of simply replacing it (even though it was less than 24 hours old)! I complained direct to the UK importers and within a matter of hours, I had the CEO of Cyclops fighting my case for me - they send a replacement unit within three days and I was finally able to use it. Though relatively basic in external design - I guess all the engineering is inside the turbine - the JetFluid Pro has achieved what I was after. The reviews I'd seen said it was quite silent in use, and I would agree with that. The resistance is good, too - I don't run out of gears, that's for sure. Some have said it's very similar to being on the road, but I'm not so sure that's true - but of all the trainers I've ever tried (in shops, and what I've owned down the years), this is the best. The 'Pro' suffix relates to the leg adjustment, and I'd recommend this for two reasons. Firstly, even though my garage floor is flat and perfectly horizontal, the bike tends to 'lean' to one side unless I offset the cant with the left leg's adjuster. I think there's some 'slack' in the course-threaded quick-lock system (on the left), which cause the bike's hub to 'sag' slightly. Also, there's a little bit of 'flex' in the base of main U-bar which also needs compensating for. These aren't problems as such, but are part of the design; the leg adjustment certainly helps alleviate them and ensure you get a perfectly vertical bike. It was good to see a spare QR skewer in the box; my bike's generic one wouldn't have fitted and this means you can get onto the Turbo straight out of the box. My special offer deal came with a free riser block (the basic dish one); you will certainly need to put something under the front wheel to keep the bike horizontal and maintain a true-to-ride position when training. After a poor start, which was superbly sorted out by Cyclops themselves, I am very happy with my JefFluid Pro; for anyone in the market for a smooth, quiet turbo, they will be pleased with both the build quality and performance of it.

Get constant effort trainer

Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I've had this trainer for about 2 years and it a very good trainer. It really works great at a constant power and if you maintain your cadence, you can hold that trainer on the trainer all day (or for as long as you can). The only shortfalls of this trainer is doing acceleration training. If you are doing jumps, its going to spin up faster than you are on the road. Despite this, if my trainer died tonight, I would get another one.
