Kinetic Announces Details of its Re-designed 2014 Stationary Trainers
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – August 15, 2013 - Kinetic Trainers today announced details of its re-designed 2014 trainer line, its first
revamp of the line since 2007. Overall changes focus on improved 29er compatibility, enhanced ergonomics and lighter weight.
Trainers also now come fully assembled, so they are ready to use right out of the box.
Kinetic replaced the cantilever design of its flagship model, the Rock and Roll, with a design that centers the pivot point and rider
weight over the elastomer stack, reducing rider-induced bounce and sag and allowing lower bolt tension to give a more active
side-to-side motion. The new centered design also allows for the use of forward-facing support arms, instead of the previous
curved arms, which results in a smaller overall footprint. The axle support mechanism now uses rubber-over-plastic knobs for
improved ergonomics, and a refined upper frame to fit up to 29 x 2.4” tire sizes. Overall, the Rock and Roll went on a diet and lost
two pounds. MSRP is $579.
Changes to the Road Machine, Magnetic and Cyclone models include weight reductions of one pound, rubber-over-plastic
molding on all knobs and feet, and a refined frame design so all Kinetic trainers fit up to 29 x 2.4” tires sizes. MSRP is $379,
$299 and $269 respectively.
No changes were made to the company’s
