CycleopsFluid 2 Trainer(Return to Product Page)

I bought two of these about a year ago, and was 100% satified. Smooth, relatively quiet, easy to setup, and solid. For me, the feel was about as realistic as it can get on a trainer. Last winter they received about 80 hours of usage... no leaks. They still look and feel like new.

I am more of a causal cyclist and use this trainer to do hour long rides with various speed and resistance intervals. I have found that this product has far exceeded my expectations. The fluid resistance gives a very realistic ride and can apply ample resistance. The frame is very sturdy and easy to take bike on and off. I am very happy with this product.

Let's be honest - training indoors can be dull! The fluid 2 eliminates most of the excuses about training indoors. The unit is easy to set-up, the platform is very secure and the ride feels pretty smooth. I have average about three to four nights a week on the Fluid 2 trainer and I'm very happy with the product.

I have been training on the Cycleops Fluid 2 for two years now, and had no issues. It ride very realistic to the road, and is nice and quiet. Make sure that you get the rear tire centered, or you can get some vibration and more noise. I ride this trainer 3-4 timesweek (50-60 miles). Get this you won't be disappointed. They're costly, but worth ever penny.

Have used Performance Fluid, 1UpUSA and Blackburn Fluid. The Cycleops Fluid 2 is superior to all in every way.

I'm training for my first Triathlon and where I live we get a cold enough winter that you'd avoid biking outside.

This trainer has allowed me work on my bike fitting, riding form, pickups, hills, you name it.

I ride on this trainer at least 1 hour, 3 times a week.

THe Cycleops Fluid 2 Trainer came in its original box, and was very easy to assemble, about 10 minutes.

No excuse not to train during winter.

I use the trainer daily for 45 minutes. The trainer is quiet, durable and reliable. I am glad that I purchased the trainer.

This is my first trainer. I was surprised how quiet it is. My wife can sit on a couch next to me and watch television.

Assembly was easy for me but agree with some reviewers that the written instructions are not clear.

It feels like the road so long as you are seated. Standing out of the saddle is not as realistic, however, since 90 percent of road cycling is in the saddle it is a minor problem (which I assume is a characteristic of all trainers).

This is the second Fluid 2 I've bought. It's a great trainer. It's as quiet as a trainer can be, too. Super smooth rolling. Installation of bike is easy. The turn buckle that raises the flywheel to the rear wheel of the bike for resistance is a bit odd compared to the older design I had, but it's a minor personal aesthetic complaint. If you're looking for a great, quiet trainer... this is it.

The trainer is for supplemental training for non professional tri-athlons. I use this trainer for indoor riding mainly during bad weather. It is smooth, solid and allows for long ride training, interval and hill simulation. It is used 2-3 times a week.

There are more expensive bike trainers, but I couldn't be happier with its ease of set up and overall operation. I hope it is durable in the long term as well. I recommend the Cyclops Fluid 2.

I absoultly hate to ride in the cold. The Cycleops Fluid 2 keeps me in shape during the less desirable riding times of year. A few minutes after the shipment arrived, I had it assembled and my rig mounted. I have found the trainer to be very stable and I enjoy the resistance the unit applies the harder one trains. A must have for any serious cyclist.

I started with a cheaper trainer that made so much racket I couldn't hear my Ipod with ear buds, even though it was described as quiet. This trainer really is quiet. It is simple to set up and provides a good, road-like, workout. No problems after 3 years. I bought another one for my son.

This is my first trainer and I'm sold on it. Several colleagues recommended this model and I'm glad I followed their advice. You won't be sorry. Easy to set up and easy to use. Couldn't be better!

My sister-in-law and I decided to take a triathlon training class, so needed bike trainers. Our coach told us this was a great brand so we went for it. It was very easy to set up and we are both very pleased. We have at least 30 people in our class and our trainers are the nicest ones there. Several of the class noted the trainer and were envious. ) I have done a fair amount of cycling in the past, but this adds another element that I can do it at home on my own bike for training when we can't ride outside. With more bike races and triathlons in our future, I'm so thrilled with this product. It is very quiet in operation and does feel very much like riding on the road. I also recommend buying a lift for the front tire to level the bike when using the trainer.

Upon reading many positive reviews and personal comments from fellow riders, I decided on this trainer given the great deal it was advertised at. It did not disappoint... runs extremely quiet and the fluid resistance replicates road feel as close as a trainer could do. Easy to assemble, easy to store, and easy to adjust the resistance with a sturdy handle that offers no ambiguity. The overall construction is sturdy and when the bike is installed on the trainer you feel confident and secured. For a little extra, fluid is the way to go.

I have a new road bike with clip-in peddles that I bought in November. The trainer was the best investment I could have bought to familiarize myself with my new bike. I'm a novice with a Ferrari of a bike! The Fluid Trainer is smooth, it feels like I'm riding on a road (without the potholes). It is solid and well made, easy to put my bike in and out quickly. It's a great way to train when the weather is bad. The Fluid 2 is a great choice over other models I looked at, well worth the investment.

I have never had such a great work out on a stationary bike before. I would recommend it thoroughly to any one at any level. The price point, the quality and the ease of assembly make it a great product.

I wanted something that would allow me to ride my bike in the rainy NW weather. This trainer has turned out to be easy to set up, easy to use, reasonably quiet and best of all, enjoyable to use looking out the window at the rain and snow.

I purchased the Cycleops trainer about two months ago and have been only using it for 1-2 hours a week. So far it has been quiet enough to listen to music or watch TV while riding with the volumne low enough not to bother the rest of the family at home. The only comment that my wife made was that she could hear a humming noise from the next room. Instructions were adequate by using both the written instructions and the pictures to figure things out.
