Minoura Bike Trainers

The Minoura slogan, “High-end solutions for every cycling need” captures the essence of what this well-established Japanese company is trying to achieve through its extensive range of turbo trainers and rollers.

Minoura’s range of turbo trainers and rollers cater for the needs of recreational cyclists right through to professionals. The Magteqs Twin Turbo Indoor Trainer is testimony to this as this turbo trainer is the answer to a professional cyclists need for power and increased resistance.

To date, the V270 was by far the strongest trainer from Minoura with 460 Watts at 40km/h, but this really was not sufficient for the professionals as they needed more power to fine tune their sprints and climbing. Minoura responded to this by releasing Magteqs Twin with its whopping 640 Watts. This extra power was created by adding a second magnet to the AMT (Advanced Magnetic Technology) system which in turn increased the resistance levels from 7 to 13. This new AMT design also means that pedalling is a much more realistic experience that matches on-road riding. Additionally, the trainer is extremely quiet during operation which is always an added bonus.

Although the Magteqs Twin was designed with the professional in mind, it is nevertheless still very easy to operate and thus ideal for beginners too. This trainer delivers on all levels from power to control and will provide loads of resistance for each of the 13 levels.

If you prefer to train on rollers over turbo trainers, then Minoura can help you out with that too. Although they have a few different types of rollers currently on the market, my personal favourite is the Minoura Action Advance Rollers. The Minoura Action Advance Rollers have the smallest diameter drums out of all of Minoura’s bicycle rollers. At 80mm in diameter they are significantly smaller than the other rollers in their range. The advantage of having thin rollers is that you are closer to the floor and that you have higher natural resistance when pedalling. Being closer to the floor means that it is easier to dismount. Riding on the rollers is very smooth and the resistance is suitable.

As Minoura provide a range of bicycle accessories, it is possible to purchase additional accessories for your trainer such as the Minoura Watt Master Computer. This is a device with a rear wheel sensor that you can use whilst training at home as well as out on the road with your bicycle. The 2” LCD screen display is easy to use and has a great track programming feature that will allow you to design the workout you want to do. The Minoura Watt Master will also inform you of your current speed, the length of your cycle, the time of your cycle and your elapsed time and average incline level. In order to make sure you’re getting the most out of each session on your trainer, the Watt Master will also illustrate your average speed against the speed you are currently cycling at. This is an essential tool for reaching your fitness goals.

The benefits of using a Minoura Turbo Trainer or Roller are so clear that it’s no wonder that so many competitive athletes as well as people just looking for a great workout have invested in one of many models available.
