Full Review of the CycleOps Super Magneto Pro Turbo Trainer

Perfect for: Serious athletes and cyclists with goals that require flexibility and choice in ride type and resistance curve to match the needs of their various workouts.

If youve got the money to splash on this CycleOps Super Magneto Pro Turbo Trainer then you wont look back once the package has arrived on your front door. Having got the only bad thing Im going to say about this turbo trainer out of the way (its price) we can get on to the important issues:

Speed of set-up: The CycleOps Super Magneto Pro turbo trainer is great to set up. It is almost ready to use straight out of the box. No tools are needed and you should be cycling away on your CycleOps Super Magneto Pro turbo trainer within 10-15 minutes of opening the box.

The new pro frame on the CycleOps Super Magneto Pro Turbo Trainer provides a hugely stable indoor training experience. As with other CycleOps turbo trainers one of the legs has an adjustable foot which allows balancing of the Super Magneto Pro on the most uneven floors.

CycleOps have improved on their already very good Quick Release securing system which allows you to quite literally slot your bike on the machine and ride.

The CycleOps Super Magneto Pro relies on a magnetic-based unit with four selectable resistance settings, which range from spin, road, interval and mountain settings. The Super Magneto Pro turbo trainer has a setting to match your needs, however high or low your goals are. This makes it an ideal turbo trainer for both pros and serious amateurs. This turbo trainer will grow with you as your fitness improves.

Well tuned resistance on the Super Magneto Pro

The progressive resistance on this turbo trainer is well tuned, there plenty of resistance for extreme workouts so youll never feel as if you are reaching the limits of the CycleOps Super Magneto Pro Turbo Trainer.

If you are wondering how you change the resistance on the CycleOps Super Magneto Pro Turbo Trainer then wonder no more, the resistance is altered using a simple dial on the inside of the machine. No easy-to-break levers to fix to your handlebars with this turbo trainer.

The CycleOps Super Magneto Pro is smooth

The absolute highlight for me with this machine was the smoothness of the ride. It feels like youre gliding along a smoothly tarmac-ed road and is something worth witnessing in person. CycleOps have done a really good job in making the ride on the Super Magneto Pro as close to the real thing as possible and their work really shows.

While as with most turbo trainers you not going to avoid noise altogether, the Super Magneto Pro does fall into the quiet turbo trainer category. Its only when youre hitting those really high intensity interval sessions that your family friends and neighbours may start to take offense.

You will find the riding experience better if you buy a front wheel riser to go with this trainer

Once youve finished using the CycleOps Super Magneto Pro Turbo Trainer it folds down well enough to fit into a fairly small space which is useful if you dont have somewhere you can leave your turbo trainer.

What we think of the CycleOps Super Magneto Pro Turbo Trainer

Overall this is a very solid, easy to use, powerful trainer that should satisfy both pros and serious amateurs alike.
