Cycleops Jet Fluid Pro Trainer Review

Hammer — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 05:47:39 +0000

Anyone who has ever used a piece of equipment from CycleOps will confirm that this company really "gets it". What I mean by that is that you can tell they are run by cyclists that build products for cyclists and understand what is required to stand out from the crowd of "ho-hum" cycling products. The CycleOps Fluid Jet Pro bike trainer definitely did not fail to live up to the CycleOps trainer reputation. From the initial opening of the box to packing it back up to send to the next reviewer, my opinion was that this is a high quality bike trainer that will not disappoint.

The CycleOps is as functional as it looks and loading a bike into the CycleOps Fluid Jet Pro is a snap, the CurvePro series frame is solid and the cam levers and components are very high quality and will positively lock your bike into place. After swinging a leg over the saddle and putting this trainer through it's paces, I can say that it performed as well as I expected. CycleOps claims that their Fluid Jet Pro has a very realistic road feel period. I have to say I agree, very smooth and deliberate with excellent feedback and resistance both on acceleration and coast down definitely puts the CycleOps Fluid Jet Pro in the upper echelon of fluid bike trainers.

Being a Kurt Kinetic fan, I tried to find something wrong with this trainer but it was quiet, smooth, good feel, easy to load, rugged and stable so I couldn't really find anything not to like about it. I guess you can always say that the Fluid trainers are prone to leaking as you read that all over the internet but I've owned several over the years and have never had a single leak so I think that's a minor issue and wouldn't get in my way if I were considering purchasing this fluid bike trainer.

Who Should Buy the CycleOps Fluid Jet Pro Bike Trainer

As you can tell from above, I am a fan of the CycleOps series of trainers. I have yet to be disappointed with any CycleOps product that I have ever had any experience with and this trainer is no different. I would say it is a good choice for anyone in that it can handle about any range or class of rider and the only real consideration is the price. If you aren't afraid to invest a little bit of money into your trainer selection then the CycleOps Fluid Jet Pro will keep up with you mile after mile. It's a great all around choice that performs quite well at just about anything.

CycleOps Fluid 2 bike trainer is an excellent piece of training equipment for all cyclists.

Avid cyclists will definitely recognize the Cycleops name as a very high quality brand in the cycling industry and the Cycleops Fluid 2 Bike trainer definitely lives up to that reputation. The Cycleops 2 Fluid trainer brings a lot to the table and utilizes an oversize flywheel to very closely emulate a road like feel that in our opinion, is one of the best on the market. This flywheel design brings an almost infinite resistance curve as well as integrated self-cooling mechanisms to keep your unit performing at top level over a longer period of time.
