CycleOps JetFluid Pro

Bought this months ago and have had only a minor problem with leg fasteners. It has excellent resistance and stability.

Purchased my JetFluid trainer last year, used it a lot due to the brutal winter. Very happy with it, no complaints at all. Easy set up, uses limited space and very quiet operation.

I received my trainer last year for Christmas, and I have not been disappointed. I use a number of on line biking videos and get outstanding work outs. It's a great alternative to outdoor biking in the Northeast during the winter months.

After trying two different indoor trainers previously (both magnetic resistance) but not real satisfied with either, the Cycle Ops was one recommended to me. I used it for the first time over last winter. It was very easy to set up and the ride is very smooth and quieter than the other trainers I had. Overall the resistance I get from it feels more realistic. Taking advantage of a special sale at the store where I bought it was another plus.

I 'upgraded' from a magnetic trainer from another well known brand and very happy with myself for doing so - instead of changing the magnetic resistance you simply use the bike's gears to go faster' just like on the road. The smoothness of the trainer is what sets it apart from magnetic resistance trainers and riding in the sweet spot is just great, although it keeps giving if you want to press on up the cassette and you'll give up before it will

This bad boy is the real deal. Unlike older style trainers, setup is a breeze - just lock it in and go. Solid, steady, and ready for all kinds of training: race warmups, indoor training sessions, long climb simulations, you name it. It's all the trainer I'll ever need.

I have had the JetFluid Pro for about two years. I am a clydesdale and this trainer is rock solid even with me on. I have the old style with the different tightening mechanism and while it works it isn't as nice as the new one for getting the same tightness everytime (which is important for using Virtual Trainer on TrainerRoad). Overall I could not be more please with it. Rides smooth and it pretty darn quiet for a trainer. It was a little more than I was originally planning on spending, but I think the extra bucks were well worth it as the quality of the Pro series is impeccable.

I use my cycleops trainer for in a spin class and it is very reliable. Easy to setup and adjust.

I bought this about a year ago as my first trainer and was hooked by the CycleOps lifetime warranty. I race collegiate cycling, and this gets me ready for the spring season. It has held up since then though daily training rides, and has helped me be ready for the season. It allows me to put out some insane power (I barely ever go up to my big chainring, because I can't withstand the pain for too long - but it is great at getting my legs to hurt... that's the point... right? Would definitely buy again. A true on road experience.

Last winter I decided to get a trainer to keep up my bike fitness over the snowy northern New York winters. I researched the options and was down to Kurt Kinetic and CycleOps for the price range I could afford. I've used both at different spin classes and they seemed to have different pluses and minuses that balanced out. I got a better deal on the CycleOps, so I purchased that. I have found it to be very well-built and quiet enough to watch TV while spinning (or not bother my husband at all while spinning with headphones). The only issue is the initial setup, which took me a bit of time to align the resistance right...but once it was set up it's super easy and quick to set up and then fold up and store. I have used it a lot and it is stable even when climbing long segments and standing, and the resistance and feel are very realistic. I'm really happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good deal on a well-made product.

I bought my Fluid trainer when they first came out a few years ago and have been very happy with it. Very smooth and relatively quite, the resistance has a road-like feel and not linear like other trainers I've owned over the years.

I've had this trainer for about 2 years and it a very good trainer. It really works great at a constant power and if you maintain your cadence, you can hold that trainer on the trainer all day (or for as long as you can). The only shortfalls of this trainer is doing acceleration training. If you are doing jumps, its going to spin up faster than you are on the road. Despite this, if my trainer died tonight, I would get another one.

Love it- winter tri training in the Midwest this is a must. Quite and I love the resistance it automatically adds,

I've had this now for a couple months and it's a fantastic trainer. Feels like the road and has an adjustable foot to allow for unlevel floors. Definitely get a mat to even further minimize flooring problems and reduce noise. Not too loud. Great workout. I put a hand towel on the cockpit and make sure to wipe the bike down after. Easy to set up and take the bike on and off. Very well made and sturdy. I ride out of the saddle often and do intervals. Only complaint is that it does not come with a riding block or mat.

I've used my trainer for 3 years and it still works perfectly. The jet fluid trainer makes me feel like I'm riding on the actual road. It is lightweight, small and easy to store. When not in use you can just fold up the 2 legs. If your floor is uneven, one leg is height adjustable and stable.

I was deciding between this trainer and the Kinetic Rock and Roll 2.0. I'm happy with this trainer. It works as described, it's reasonably quiet, and provides enough smooth, even resistance for a great workout.

Have had this unit for two winters now, and provides all the resistance that I can handle. Well built, easy to install, and simple to use. Was recommended to me, and I agree fully with this recommendation.

Jet fluid pro works great and is quiet. It is stable.

I live in a mountain ski town and love cycling. This works to continue training when there is 6 feet of snow outside

Bought this 2 months ago and I have really been able to keep my fitness up. Trainer is quite enough that I don't bother my roommates. There is also enough resistance build into the unit that I can do intervals without any problems.

Been using my JetFluid Pro for the past five years in the off season. I forget about it until December. It works the same as when I last used it. It's quiet. My lubed drivetrain makes more noise. Folds easily for travel or storage. Heavy enough to be stable.

I have owned this for 2 years . it has been maintenance free. I have owned many trainers before and I will tell you this has the best Road feel of them all. I need not say more .

I've used this trainer for a solid 2 years and couldn't be happy. Super quite, solid construction, perfect training tool. Stop researching and buy already. You'll be happy you did.

Bought this to keep in shape during the long Wisconsin winter and prepare for next outdoor road season. Not as good as a long outdoor road ride, but the next best thing when it's 0 degrees and snowing outside.

Have had this trainer for several years and I am still rolling out the hours. Can't go wrong with this unit.

This has been one of the best purchases I have made. Make indoor cycling more enjoyable and a very consistent workout. I did have one issue with the original so called up support and shipped it in for repair I had it back within a week of them receiving it. Very quiet and smooth I don't have to have tv blaring when riding it.

this is the first trainer i have bought and i like it alot. i put alot of miles on my bike on the out door trailes and it was easy riding but when i bought the jetfluid pro trainer it is alot harder riding then riding on the road or bike trail. it gives you a very good work out. i know it will help me alot to stay inshape for the next summer biking so i dont have to start over. i have nothing bad to say about the product they make a very good on and i would not chane any thing with it. best trainer i know of.

I actually own two of these. I use one (an earlier version) and my wife and daughter use the other. The fluid trainer allows for a very smooth operation when riding provide a realistic and similar feel to outdoor riding as you increase the tension by shifting through the gears. I use mine almost every day during the winter and during bad weather during the riding season, over 200 hours on the trainer for the past three years without any mechanical issues at all.

I've had mine for over a year now. I'm by no means a pro or competitive cyclist but I've put the trainer through its paces. The Pro is very responsive to changes in speed, is easy to set up, and provides an outstanding workout in the off-season. Plus, it's built to last!

I bought this a year ago and have loved using it !. A lot of trainers promise to deliver a great workout this trainer actually does. I have had other home trainers and this surpasses those other names by miles. Will definetly show the difference in performance once you get back on your bike after winter is over for those of us in the north east. Great trainer recommend to anyone looking for a serious workout. Alex

I love this trainer. My previous trainer sounded like a small plane taking off in my living room and it was jerky when I would shift from an easy pace into an interval pace. It made so much noise that my dog frequently hid upstairs while I was riding it! This beauty is quite, easy to set up and easy to store when it folds down and smoothly shifts between gears and responds quickly to tempo changes. I didn't think I would use it as much this year since we moved from Virginia to California and I have year round cycling weather, but it's a really efficient way to get in some hard miles early in the morning when it isn't that safe to be out biking. My training is more consistent year round and of much higher quality thanks to this trainer!

This is the second trainer I've purchased... and by far the best. Set up and riding in under 5 minutes. The resistance is predictable EVERY time and is very smooth. I couldn't believe that a trainer could feel like the road, but it's true... the faster you go, the harder it gets, just like on the road. The transition from slow to fast is just as tough as it's on the road. I know I will be able to better gauge my training over the desolate winter months using this trainer. Combined with the rollers I purchased a few years ago, I am extremely happy with Cycle-Ops products. You know what you're buying with them, solid, safe and consistent products that perform exactly as they state.

I bought the trainer a while back, and it's been great for when it's wet or dark out. The main downside is that it's a bit on the loud side (I need noise isolating headphones to watch TV), and that the knob for ratcheting down the tire has a small metal component that will break if you turn the knob too far (I was storing it, and it broke while I was trying to get the knob screwed in as far as possible).

Resistance is not right. Big ring/11 at 110 rpm and my pwr meter say 150 watts! Is there any way to adjust this?

This trainer has significantly improved my cycling training.

Stable, really gives me a workout and the resistance is just like being on the road.

I purchased a pair of JetFluid Pros for my wife and I recently, as an upgrade from the Fluid II's that we used. The Fluid II was a very good product and served me well for about 4 years, with no issues or problems. So why purchase the JetFluid Pro? The bottom line is that CycleOps took a good design and made it even better. Specifically, the clutch knob on the rear of resistance unit makes for consistent force against the rear tire from session to session. Also, the clamping system that attaches the rear wheel to the trainer is also noticeably improved. I also have noted that the fluid reservoir runs cooler on the JetFluid Pro.

I replaced my 5-year-old CycleOps Fluid II with the JetFluid Pro. The Fluid II was working fine and never gave me any problems. However, I liked what I saw in the JetFluid Pro. The legs extend and retract much easier and the JetFluid Pro has a leveling adjustment on one of the legs. CycleOps has also improved the clamping action that attaches the rear wheel to the trainer - again the Fluid II worked but the JetFluid Pro is much better design that works easier. But the big attraction for me was the clutch system for mating the rear tire to the roller on the resistance unit. Instead of wondering if you've set the appropriate tension, with the JetFluid Pro, you turn the yellow knob until you hear two clicks. That's it, you're done and with consistent tension from session to session as long as you use a consistent tire pressure. One other nice touch is that CycleOps supplies a graph in the owner's manual that correlates wheel speed to power output with the JetFluid Pro. As I don't have a power meter, it's nice to have a reasonable estimation of my power output while using this trainer.

The width of the trainer appears too wide, when the bike is placed in the clamps the left handside adjuster is extended so far that when weight is added to the bike it drops a good inch or so and cannot stop the bike from leaning to the left. Whilst the trainer gives you the feel of the open road, hill climbing is not realistic, especially with the back clamp issue!

Very good product but just wish their was a better way to move the cycleops wheel onto the bike wheel. Maybe a crank of some kind that you can slowly add pressure to the bike wheel.

It is early, but all indications are that this trainer is quality. However, I really do not have much to compare to, as I have only owned one trainer and that one I purchased 12 years ago--it had a lot of miles on it. Everything about your trainer has been positive. My only recommendation--explain better how to create tension on the bike tire for the proper tension and how to know what the proper tension level is. I still struggle in this area.

I use this product primarily for indoor training. It is a great product, easy to use, effort feels natural. The only improvement i would suggest for all these products is to include some way to transmit power via Bluetooth Low Energy to an application on a phone (iPhone or Android). Since this product has a power curve corresponding to the speed, it wouldn't take much to measure speed and derive power. Alternatively, CycleOps could partner with Digifit, Strava, or others to provide them with Speed/Power curve they can use within the App to display power. Of course this assumes the rider has a Speed sensor on the bike communicating to the application. Just a thought...

The setup instructions could be improved.

Great Trainer. A little noisy for the first 50 miles but one call to Customer Support answered all my questions. Once everything settled in, trainer has been great. Much truer power curve than my last trainer from another company!

Easy to set up, excellent for intervals, climbing.

Use it anytime I want and as long as I want.Great way to stay in shape for biking.

I really like the ease of use, consistent resistance curve, and the fact that it is fairly quiet. Additionally, it is very stable. I use it primarily during the OutSeason when my rides are mostly interval sessions at either FTP or 120% of FTP after a short warm-up. I don't notice any resistance drift (I have a PowerTap hub so I can see if there is difference between the speed/watt relationship).

I wish I had bought this trainer years ago. Already I can tell the winter will be productive time staying in shape.

I like cyclops products. this kit is very good. I haven't used it much yet, but it's working well. Note, the adjustment mechanism is a little quirky...but not a problem.

I use this trainer on rainy days or at times when I can't hit the road (early morning/late night). You can really get in a good workout. Great for intervals.

I purchased the Jet Fluid Pro based on the recommendation of a person I know who works in the cycling industry. He has access to most trainers and unhesitatingly recommended I purchase the Jet Fluid Pro. I am glad I did. I've been using it for about a month now mostly for race warmups. It's made a great contribution in that regard. Warm up on a trainer is much more controlled and efficient than trying to loops in a parking lot or open space. The timing of the warm up process really impacts my race readiness and using the Jet Fluid Pro I can completely control effort to get my heart rate and legs into the zone just before lining up. The only minor criticism I have is that the conical tension springs are not attached to the skewer ends and prone to being lost since they are loose. I applied some glue to each cap on the skewer to fix that. No big deal. The Jet Fluid Pro is really solid/well made. It's simple to use and sets up easily. My sense is that I will never have a need to upgrade this, nor do I think it will wear out even with years of hard use. Very happy with the purchase and view it as a great addition to my cycling gear.

It's easy to set up and very quite!

This product is everything it is advertised to be. Have been extremely happy with this purchase.

A Great cross trainer between running.

Solid trainer for indoor cycling. It is a little louder than the Fluid 2 but not bad at all.

I use the trainer during the winter season. This is my second season. So far so good. The trainer has remained solid and stable. It also rides very smoothly with just an occasional whine that lasts for 10 seconds or so. Other wise, its quiet and not a distraction. It suits my style of riding...big gear masher using one minute intervals at 90 rpm for 60 minutes. Heart rate within zone 2 and 3.

I bought this to be able to train in my flat during winter. I picked a fluid trainer as they are meant to be the quietest. It's in no way silent, but the noise is not excessive. Smooth riding, consistent level of resistance and ideal training for long days in the saddle. Overall a good buy.

I used the Jet FluidPro to train for a triathlon during the winter. It was easy to set up and get started, and gave me nice smooth ride, unlike some of the "clunky" magentic trainers I've used in the past. The only thing I wish was different was that it was a little on the noisy side, but nothing that turning up the music couldn't take care of. All-in-all I'm very happy with this trainer.

Purchased the winter training kit. Worthwhile investment. First watched the on-line video on setup. Took me about 2 minutes to setup and install my bike. Really easy! Using the trainer for my track bike and road bike. Indoors will never replace outdoor rides but this trainer will help maintain current fitness level.

The most realistic trainer I have been on. Rollers, spin cycle, and other wind trainers cannot offer the true road feel that the JetFluid Pro can provide. If you are serious and want to improve you strength and endurance, this is your trainer!

Great training tool

I use this product for training when the weather is too cold out in Wisconsin, or to fit a workout in early in the morning when it's too dark to ride safely outside. I'm training for Ironman and use this trainer often. The unit itself works great and provides a great ride, with a road-like feel, and no unwanted vibration I have heard about from other brands of trainers. Overall I am definitely getting my legs in shape using this product, and I love it. The only issue I have had is with getting the resistance unit tight against my rear tire, as the yellow cam lever is somewhat tricky to use. I also have used a Cycleops fluid-squared trainer avidly, and that is much simpler in getting the resistance unit tight on your tire...but the Cycleops Jetfluid Pro is much easier to mount the bike on the unit itself; actually, it is super easy to mount nearly any bike to it because it is so adjustable. For example, I train on a Trek time-trial bike, but sometimes switch to a Trek road bike and have even mounted my child's bike to it just because I was amazed at it's flexibility in mounting...and there are no adjustments that need to me made to fit different sized bikes! Simply take one off and put the other one on, because different widths in the rear of your bike make no difference. Although I said the cam lever can be tricky, when you get it right (and now I do easily after much practice) it works perfectly. The only thing I had to learn (and the people at Saris were extremely helpful in solving my issue!!) was that you have to release the yellow cam lever well past 90-degrees to get the resistance unit to release properly, and to tighten properly against the tire. (the directions say only to release the lever 90-degrees) Once I figured that out I no longer have much trouble tightening the resistance unit to my tire, although for some reason it just isn't quite as easy as the fluid-squared model. But once it is tight against the tire, it is great and does everything Saris says it should. Overall I am extremely happy with this product, and although the cam lever can be a little tricky, it doesn't out-weigh the benefits and I would definitley purchase this item if I had to do it again, and would definitely recommend this to my friends.

I wish the block for the front tire came with the product. If you don't get this you are always riding down hill

The trainer is difficult to use with Specialized Roubaix Expert. The fit of the rear wheel, even with the supplied skewer and adjustable skewer holder, is a very tight fit. Can be frustrating to set up. Once you get the bike in place the trainer is fantastic.

I bought this trainer for use during the winter months and it has performed perfectly. I love being able to ride still when I can't get outside.

Easy & fast to set up. Great pedal feel. Makes you think you're on the road or rollers (without having to balance).

Like: ease of use, easy to switch between my husband's bike & mine, quiet, little or no vibration. I enjoy using it to keep in shape! Included video was good for interval training too. Saw comments before purchasing that the resistance isn't go hard enough (not as hard as outdoors) but this is plenty for me, and I don't even have a wheel riser. Dislikes: front wheel stand isn't included; we didn't want to buy the more expensive package with the mat and raiser, it seemed not worth the cost (I could probably get a mat for $5). When I'm not using the video or bpm-mixed music I might eventually want a cadence calculator to make sure I don't get lazy. This is my first cycle trainer & I am really enjoying it! Thanks.

I use the JetFluid Pro three times a week. Its like riding on glass its so smooth and provides realistic resistance with zero noise.

This unit would be perfect if the cooling impeller ran true. The unit vibrates heavily acfter reaching 30 kph.This needs to be addressed !

I use my trainer when the weather is too bad to ride in. It gives a great work-out, feels like the road, and it is really quiet!

Have only Road with it a couple of times at this point (I fell while walking & chewing Gum), But it feels like riding on the road Great Product. The customer service is very good as well.

I have only been using the Jetfluid Pro for about 3 weeks and so far have enjoyed it and almost completely abandoned my Kreitler rollers which have been my winter trainers for over a decade. The JetFluid allows for, in my opinion, a more realistic ride than other mag based trainers that I have tried. So far I have been using training routines that I have used in the past, either on the road or with rollers, but look forward to putting the included DVD to the test in the near future. Setup is easy and mounting the bike is a breeze compared to some other models I have seen or used. Setting the tension on the rear wheel could be a little easy, but once you have the hang of it it is a snap. Great product so far.

I had a BB trainer before and I thought it was good, well one day it went down. I went in to see about getting it repaired. I did some research and walked away with a Cycle Ops trainer. At first I was a bit concerned cause of the price but its well worth it. This thing rocks and gives the same feel of the road and is simple as installing ur front wheel. I recommend this to all. Just spend the few extra bucks. It pays off in the long run,

Having trained on rollers on and off for the past 19 years, has left my hands numb or tingling. Switching to a trainer has allowed me more versatility in my training. Standing, sprinting and riding hands free are adding a new dimension. The only drawback to the trainer is the height it raises the bike. A small step to hop on and off the bike is helpful especially for people under 5'4"

This trainer encourarges me to use it more!

I use this for winter training when it's too cold or there is a lot of snow and ice around. With my powertap 2.4 and the JetFluid Pro Trainer I can customize my workouts to maximize benefits.

Having cycled competitively for a few years, and tried to ride the cold and ice conditions I made the plunge. This product was recommended by friends and certainly exceeds my expectations. Coming pre assembled, I was up and riding in 5 mins, very quite and can be stored away easily when not in use. My only complaint is that it did not include the front block, essential to keep the bike steady. Say goodbye to the windchill and enjoy the ride!!

I use the product in conjunction with a Pro+ PT and train based on power.

I'm from Wisconsin, so it's too cold and snowy out to ride outdoors in the winter time. This is a great product to stay in shape over the winter months. You can have a strenuous workout, or you can take a nice leisurely ride.

I use the trainer during my base training phase in the winter months. I use it in my dorm room, friends houses, the local bike shop, anywhere inside with friends. I can take it anywhere with me, but it is rather heavy. Only takes a minute or two to set up.

09 world solo 24hr video is playing but I'm not watching, but gazing out the window watching it dump with snow, appreciating the smooth feel of the Cycleops Jet Fluid Pro trainer. Its what they say, real road like feel, quiet and the unit does not vibrate. The flywheel allows for momentum to carry when you back off pedaling, allowing the rear wheel to spin, giving a smooth gear change. You can really appreciate its smoothness when doing tempo's and you can see it reflected in a consistent HR graph. If your burnt out on the trainer get a Cycleops Pro series, the performance of these machines will help you get on it day after day in the OFF season - not to mention the results it will give you in the ON season.

Like many cyclists I was overwhelmed with the trainers offered in the market. I therefore felt I had to do a good amount of research before I settled on a trainer. I quickly identified I wanted a fluid trainer due to the noise level. It really came down to CycleOps and Kurt Kinetic and both had great reviews. I chose CycleOps based on the customer service comments I found in my research. As far as the product. It was easy to setup for the first use and the bike locks in securely (important). The resistance curve is great and you will have a sweat going in no time. Getting on the trainer a few times a week over the winter will ensure strong legs for the spring training. The trainer is no louder than you can have a TV running.
