Probably one of the best in this price range!
Going on two months with this trainer, and it has been fantastic. I have tried other trainers in this price range and so far this one has been the most relibale and consistent.

So far so good for indoor cycling
Last winter, I went through a few magnetic trainers - they kept breaking and I was too lazy to search for another one.This year, I went the fluid trainer route, mainly to see if it could keep up with my watts.Upon receiving the package, it took about 20 minutes to assemble - a few of the pictures weren't exactly clear, and it took a few moments to figure out. I also watched a YouTube video for proper set up procedures.As of today, 11/19/24, I completed my first 8mi test run on Zwift. My road bike feels very stable, and I didn't feel the trainer move when out of the saddle sprinting.

Great indoor option for winter
A reasonable substitute for outdoor riding during the winter months that keeps your legs and bottom in condition for outdoor riding. Not as good as a Peloton but a cheaper substitute that works well. I had an older Cyclops fluid similar trainer that lasted a number of years before it began leaking oil after a number of years of use. This is a replacement of the same design and model.

Mediocre Quality, Difficult to Put Together
I don't recommend this item at all. This item was purchased from Amazon as a Christmas gift to use with my bike. It was an obvious return from at least one other buyer—the box was damaged and had multiple layers of cut tape. The unit itself was scratched and dirty. A machining error prevented the carriage bolt from going all the way through the resistance unit and frame. It was returned. Photos attached, except the last one, are of the unit purchased from Amazon.Hoping for a better experience, I purchased the replacement directly from Saris. It took my husband and I both over half an hour, a 3lb sledge hammer, a pair of pliers, and a wrench to assemble it. The second unit arrived in a significantly damaged box, was dirty, scratched, and had a rusty bolt/connector on the resistance unit (shown in the last photo).I almost returned the unit then and there in favor of one from a different company, but we thought it'd be worth trying to assemble and test with the bike. It was extremely difficult to get the carriage bolt through the resistance unit and frame—this unit seems to have the same machining error as the other.In the end, we were able to assemble the trainer and get the bike onto it. The bike went on very smoothly and the trainer seems to operate in spite of the rusted bolt/connector. We'll see how well it holds up.

Solid indoor trainer
I bought a Cyclops fluid trainer maybe 15-20 years ago. Recently I noticed that it was leaking fluid, and in retrospect it had been getting noisier and running a bit rough for over a year or so. It was time to look for a replacement. I found many options, some very high tech and pricey. I’ve had fan trainers and magnetic trainers in the past. The fluid trainer works best for me. I didn’t need anything that required subscriptions to training services that I could do without. I also did not need something that would generate training data that I had no use for. I just wanted a sturdy, stable, and relatively quiet machine. I opted for a slightly upgraded version of my old Cyclops, which was now available through Saris, the Saris Fluid2. It meets my needs. I’m impressed with how quiet it is. I control the intensity of my effort by varying the gears on my bike or varying my cadence. It was fairly easy to set up. I highly recommend the Sari Fluid2 for someone looking for a no-frills, solid, quiet trainer.

Saris Trainer
This is clearly a used and returned item. I thought I was buying a new unused item. This trainer came with a skewer to switch out on the rear axle when using the trainer then switching the original rear axle skewer again to ride outside. This is very inconvenient and time consuming. Not sure I will like this inconvenience l.

Tons to love, one con.
It’s tough to find trainers these days. I was bent on getting a smart trainer, but they were all sold out. i was surprised to find this Cycleops available, considering it’s stellar reputation, but I suppose the trend is to smart machines. FYI: this IS COMPATIBLE with training apps. You’ll need a speed device, sold separately.Pros: well-built, sturdy, quiet, very smooth, even resistance (shift Bike gears to increase resistance—no extra connection/gearing needed), collapsible, easy storage.Cons: set up. It’s actually not difficult, but Saris makes a booklet that is unclear at points. For example, when sliding the pin into the bolt-action side, which will connect to the skewer, you must slide the BEVELED end of the tube in first. This is completely unclear in the directions, but DOES matter when connecting to the bike and tightening things down. Also, make sure the fan and main power unit (both are connected to the same piece of metal, which attaches to the legs), are positioned correctly: the bulky power unit on the left, the fan blade unit on the right. If you reverse these during attachment, it will adversely affect the rear dial adjustment once the bike is mounted. Believe it or not, the manual does not illustrate a fluid 2 trainer, which has these two pieces, so it could be easily mixed up during install.Once I got passed a frustrating moment or two with set up, the trainer worked like a dream. My old trainer, a Giant that is 12 years old, is nowhere near as smooth or quiet as this Fluid 2. I love it. I use a yoga block to elevate the front, but you can use books, a rolled-up towel, etc. If you want to smart train, you’ll need the additional accessory. If you’re happy without it, I believe this is the best non-smart trainer for the money.
