Awesome training aid
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Adjustable
"It's excellent value (on sale for £130), quiet, and teaches you how to pedal efficiently as unlike spin bikes/regular bikes, you can't get away with just pushing down. You'll learn how to pull up too. It's a bit tricky to set up - the instructions are rubbish, but if you'll figure it out using common sense and logic. Great for those cold/wet days when it's not safe to go out, you can happily turbo in your living room. The gear change mechanism doesn't quite grip properly onto the handlebar, and you'll need to buy a training tyre to go with the trainer else you'll wear yours out quickly. Folds away neatly."

Good trainer
Pros: Attractive, Adjustable, good value
Cons: instructions could be clearer
"Actually the only trainer I've used, so nothing to compare it with, but bought it based on other positive reviews. It does prove to be quiet in use, provides adequate resistance and allows a good work-out, at a very reasonable price.
It's quite straightforward to set up from the box, but DO read the "Alteration in mounting of bicycle with different wheel diameter" section and check whether you'll need to use one of the supplied adapters BEFORE fitting the magnet unit to the handle - I followed the instructions in exact order and didn't come to read this section until after I'd set it up without the necessary adapter for my standard road bike wheel size."

Good trainer
Pros: Great Value
"This has been worth the money. Not completely silent when on full spin, but nothing that annoys me at all.
Easy to set up, can be riding within 5 minutes. Easily folds to slide under my sofa if I need it out the way.
Have already recommended to a friend."

Good bit of kit
Pros: Great Value, Adjustable
"I was looking for a good basic turbo trainer to keep up the saddle time when the weather's too foul to go out (ok so I'm a bit of a whimpy fair weather cyclist) and this certainly hasn't disappointed. It's really well built and easily adjustable. The bike drops into the trainer in seconds (the supplied skewers have to be fitted 1st) Feels very stable and its really quiet in operation. Plenty of resistance that is easily adjusted from the handle bars. Folds away when not in use."

"I have been using this trainer, my first, for a week now and have never sweat so much in my life!
Fairly easy to assemble. Good spread of resistance levels and runs fairly quietly.
Really can't fault it"

Brilliant
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Good Fit
"I bought this for my husband (not for me, oh no!) as a birthday pressie. Convinced him to open it 4 days early and we spend a few minutes putting it together. The instructions were great, and it's a very sturdy piece of kit and very quiet.
Looking forwards to playing on it- it seems pretty quiet and a really nice piece of kit."

Great value basic trainer.
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable
"Good solid stable magnetic resistance trainer at a good price. reasonably easy to set up and once done its simple and fast to load the bike in and out of the trainer. comes with ten resistance setting and combined with the bike gears give all the resistance you could want. a brick under the front wheel, a fan to keep cool and a cheap £5 wired computer from the back wheel to the top tube ( you can see the reading and you don't have to look where your going) and it covers most things."

Good quality piece of kit
Pros: Durable, Rugged, Adjustable, solid and heavy
Cons: none yet
"I dithered before choosing which trainer to go for but this was excellent value at (£135). I was a bit apprehensive about other users comments regarding the instructions. In fairness they're not written very clearly but it was simple enough to screw together in the end.
It feels very solid and well built and only my ignorance meant that I had never heard of Tacx.
To use it feels good and the adjustable resistance is good. I use a 1.25" or 1.5" tyre on my mountain bike and was pleased that this works fine as I was worried that these things were only for road bikes.
Great product, just need to haul my backside back into the freezing garage now!"

Beyond good value trainer
Pros: Great Value, Adjustable, Versatile, lots of features
"I looked long and hard at many products before deciding on this item, and I took the advice of a keen long term cyclist. Simply put, this is an excellent item, stores easily and performs well. Considering it's price there is little to fault and has upped my winter activity considerably. The multi option magnetic resistance is perfect for providing a balanced workout, be it short or long. Originally a mountain biker new to road cycling, this has been a real help in improving my fitness and helping me work on my technique."

Ideal for what I wanted.
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Easy enough to assemble. Simple to use. My Sirrus Specialized just clipped right in. Folds up nice and tidy when not in use. Ready to exercise in 60 seconds. Great product.
I bought this to do a bit of extra training when the weather is bad during the winter. Not the most advanced one on the market, but then I'm not aiming for the tour de france :)
The only downside is that its very very boring when training indoors, so need a TV or other entertainment to help stay on it long enough. Also you need a cold room in the house - otherwise you'll be bucketing sweat."

まあまあです
Pros: 魅力的, 快適さ, 良いフィット感
Cons: かさばり, 耐久性のなさ, 重さ
"まあまあでした。
負荷を最高にすれば、こいでいるのがかなりきつくなります。
けれども、負荷コントローラがもろく何回か使ったら、すぐに壊れてしまいました。
なお、本体のほうはかなり耐久性があります。
タイヤの粉が、飛び散ったりしたりすることはあまりありません。
もう少し、負荷コントローラーが強ければ星５つでした。"

"I live in Paris and there is few place to ride my triathlon bike for training !
It's really great ! it doesn't make so much noise (i've put some sponges under each feet of the SIRIUS, to reduce the vibration). The feeling is natural and becareful, you'll sweat a lot !"
