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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
I've had mine for over a year now. I'm by no means a pro or competitive cyclist but I've put the trainer through its paces. The Pro is very responsive to changes in speed, is easy to set up, and provides an outstanding workout in the off-season. Plus, it's built to last!

Very responsive and quiet!
Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I love this trainer. My previous trainer sounded like a small plane taking off in my living room and it was jerky when I would shift from an easy pace into an interval pace. It made so much noise that my dog frequently hid upstairs while I was riding it! This beauty is quite, easy to set up and easy to store when it folds down and smoothly shifts between gears and responds quickly to tempo changes. I didn't think I would use it as much this year since we moved from Virginia to California and I have year round cycling weather, but it's a really efficient way to get in some hard miles early in the morning when it isn't that safe to be out biking. My training is more consistent year round and of much higher quality thanks to this trainer!

I've had this now for a couple months and it's a fantastic trainer. Feels like the road and has an adjustable foot to allow for unlevel floors. Definitely get a mat to even further minimize flooring problems and reduce noise. Not too loud. Great workout. I put a hand towel on the cockpit and make sure to wipe the bike down after. Easy to set up and take the bike on and off. Very well made and sturdy. I ride out of the saddle often and do intervals. Only complaint is that it does not come with a riding block or mat.

Solid, quiet and predictable
Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
This is the second trainer I've purchased... and by far the best. Set up and riding in under 5 minutes. The resistance is predictable EVERY time and is very smooth. I couldn't believe that a trainer could feel like the road, but it's true... the faster you go, the harder it gets, just like on the road. The transition from slow to fast is just as tough as it's on the road. I know I will be able to better gauge my training over the desolate winter months using this trainer. Combined with the rollers I purchased a few years ago, I am extremely happy with Cycle-Ops products. You know what you're buying with them, solid, safe and consistent products that perform exactly as they state.

Great trainer, but a bit loud
Pros:
Cons:
Best Uses:
I bought the trainer a while back, and it's been great for when it's wet or dark out. The main downside is that it's a bit on the loud side (I need noise isolating headphones to watch TV), and that the knob for ratcheting down the tire has a small metal component that will break if you turn the knob too far (I was storing it, and it broke while I was trying to get the knob screwed in as far as possible).

I replaced my 5-year-old CycleOps Fluid II with the JetFluid Pro. The Fluid II was working fine and never gave me any problems. However, I liked what I saw in the JetFluid Pro. The legs extend and retract much easier and the JetFluid Pro has a leveling adjustment on one of the legs. CycleOps has also improved the clamping action that attaches the rear wheel to the trainer - again the Fluid II worked but the JetFluid Pro is much better design that works easier. But the big attraction for me was the clutch system for mating the rear tire to the roller on the resistance unit. Instead of wondering if you've set the appropriate tension, with the JetFluid Pro, you turn the yellow knob until you hear two clicks. That's it, you're done and with consistent tension from session to session as long as you use a consistent tire pressure. One other nice touch is that CycleOps supplies a graph in the owner's manual that correlates wheel speed to power output with the JetFluid Pro. As I don't have a power meter, it's nice to have a reasonable estimation of my power output while using this trainer.

I had a BB trainer before and I thought it was good, well one day it went down. I went in to see about getting it repaired. I did some research and walked away with a Cycle Ops trainer. At first I was a bit concerned cause of the price but its well worth it. This thing rocks and gives the same feel of the road and is simple as installing ur front wheel. I recommend this to all. Just spend the few extra bucks. It pays off in the long run,
