Earlier this year we heard that Kinetic’s Rock and Roll trainer had been redesigned for the 2013-2014 season. At the recent Interbike trade show we were able to check it out.
It now comes fully assembled, with a design that is lighter, takes up a smaller footprint and has a re-engineered pivot point above the elastomer stack. According to Kinetic this produces a more realistic rocking motion for all rider weights. The new model also is compatible with wheel sizes up to 29 x 2.4-inch and now has rubber-over-plastic molding on all knobs and footings, and stronger roller to tire adjustment mechanisms. The Rock and Roll is compatible with Kinetic inRide Watt Meter for power training.
