Kinetic inRide – World’s First Bluetooth Smart™Trainer-based Watt Meter System
Kinetic inRide watt meter system uses Bluetooth Smart™communication protocol, found in the Apple iPhone 5 and 4s, and iPad3, to pair a heart rate monitor and a power sensor pod with the new Kinetic inRide iPhone App* to measure wattage with any Kinetic fluid trainer.
Proprietary firmware in the Kinetic inRide Sensor Pod measures speed and cadence at the tire and translates that into wattage with a simple equation. That information and the heart rate data is collected and displayed on paired, compatible iOS devices. Post-workout file sharing allows the rider to upload training data to their favorite web site or email files to a remote coach.
Kinetic inRide App features include: time-in-zone for both heart rate and watts, programmable rider data for training zones and calorie burn, TSS, nPower, iFactor and Mean Maximal Power** in 5 increments. Ride history is stored for future reference and easy upload to online-training websites and workout sharing sites. Auto coast-down calibration keeps accuracy precise, no matter what combination of tire and tire pressure a rider uses.
*Available for iPhone 5, 4s and iPad 3 only (not an iPad-specific app)
**TSS, nPower, iFactor, and mean maximal power are in-demand power meter measurements as defined by Hunter Allen and Andrew Coggan’s in their book: Training and Racing with a Power Meter (2nd Edition).
- Power* (avg, max), HR (avg, max), Speed, Cadence, Distance
- Auto calibration
- Configurable Age, Weight, Height for Calorie Burn, HR and Watt training Zones
- Uploadable Data
- No on-bike sensors or wires
- Compatible with Kinetic fRoad Machine, Rock And Roll and Pro Trainer trainers
- Weight: 500 gr
- MSRP: $229.00
*The watts reading is calibrated based on a mathematical relationship between power and speed. This Kinetic Power Formula along with our proprietary software accurately estimates the cumulative effect of 16 different interactive forces. This power curve is based on the “average ” rider on the “outdoor ride” using the following cubic function: P = (5.244820) * S + (0.01968) * S3. S=speed in miles per hour, P=power in Watts
Rock and Road
The Kinetic Rock and Roll, the company’s flagship fluid trainer, takes realism and workouts to a whole new level with natural side-to-side motion. A wide base and four polymer bushings located underneath the fluid trainer and flywheel provide a stable lateral motion. While training indoors, cyclists can perform out-of-the-saddle hill climb intervals, engaging core muscles while simultaneously working on both technique and power.
Features
- Provides realistic indoor training rides
- Forces core muscle use to maintain proper balance while riding
- Sealed fluid chamber with magnetically coupled driveshaft for leak-proof performance
- 6.25 lb. (2.8 kg) flywheel for realistic coast-down
- Wattage calibrated resistance unit
- Thermodynamically neutral silicone fluid for consistent resistances at varying temperatures
- 80 cooling fins to dissipate heat
- Smooth, quiet resistance from 5-3,000+ watts
- Fits 22″ to 29″ Wheels
- 2-1/8″ (5.4 cm) roller reduces tire wear
- Removable legs for easy storage
- Quick Release over center lock to secure and remove bike easily
- Unconditional lifetime warranty
- MSRP: $569.00
Road Machine
The Road Machine is Kinetic’s most popular trainer with its 100% leak-proof design provided by a sealed fluid chamber driven by a magnetically coupled driveshaft and flywheel. Resistance automatically adjusts as riding speeds change and the flywheel helps provide realistic feedback during pedaling and coast-down.
