Key Technologies

NO WALK FRAME
The new reinforced Main Pillar design combined with "Separate Concept" legs, greatly enhance stability, while also saving valuable storage space.

RDA RIM DRIVE
Minoura patented technology uses a Rim Driven magnetic unit, allowing the use of any style of tires. Is ideal for users who split their training between indoors and outdoors and don't want to change the tires each time. Also ideal for pre-race warm up.

ANTI-VIBRATION FOOT DESIGN
One of the principle causes of noise caused by trainers is the resonance cause by vibration being transmitted to the floor. Minoura's new Anti-Vibration foot design helps minimize this vibration.

STEEL QUICK RELEASE SKEWER
Many of today's bicycles are equipped with either Alloy capped or Plastic capped quick releases skewers, which can be easily damaged when used on Trainers. Minoura provides a Chromed Steel Quick Release lever as a stock item with each trainer.


Why buy a Cycle Trainer ?
Cyclists usually have two choices once the cold winter weather sets in and outdoor riding is impossible or uncomfortable. First option join a health club and start to train on life cycles or take spinning classes. Now, some of us will go and exercise at the club on a regularly basis, but for the rest of us it's less likely.

Your other option is to consider a Cycle trainer which are designed to support the rear wheel of your bike and apply resistance to the tire or rim. This achieves the similar effect of riding your bicycle outdoors and also allows you to change the gears of the bike to offer large range of riding
resistance's.

With the 'Minoura Rim' trainers you do not have to change the rear tire to a 'slick tire' to use on the trainer. The Rim trainers also work with 26'. 27", 28" and 700C wheels.


To Recap:
Cheaper than a health club membership
Will be more comfortable with your own bicycle
Can watch TV, listen to music or read a book
Ride anytime your schedule suits you
More likely to use, compared to a traditional exercise bike
Sets up in minutes - breaks down just as quick
Keep fit all year long

Why is the resistance level better on the POWERMATIC 1050??
PowerMatic is the worlds first Exponential Magnetic resistance system overcoming problems normally associated with Fluid designs. Not only is it impossible for an Exponential Magnetic trainer to leak, but heat is kept to a minimum, noise level is lower, and Exponential Magnetic training also offers the benefit of Torque Limiter technology which cannot be found on any Fluid design.

PowerMatic uses a 24% heavier (1050g) machined solid steel, single action flywheel that acts like two magnets with significantly increasing heat build up. As the PowerMatic system spins, a magnet sits on a tapered cam, actually moves closer towards the Flywheel as the riders speed increases. The faster the rider's wheel travels, the closer the magnet will be to the Flywheel. The closer the magnet is the Flywheel, the higher the resistance. Powermatic offers the benefits associated with Fluid Training with none of the drawbacks.
