Kinetic Smart Control adds electronic resistance to its trainers

Minneapolis based Kinetic has revamped its range of lime green trainers, adding Smart Control to its free moving Rock and Roll trainer as well as its traditional fixed-base Road Machine.

Kinetic had previously released a ‘smart’ version of its trainers that broadcast real-time power data to a connected device, however these new Smart Control units add electronically controlled resistance too.

As you might guess, the units still carry through the massive heavy freewheel offering that provides the realistic ride-feel that the brand is known for. Kinetic says it offers the highest inertia of any smart trainer on the market. With that said, Kinetic is yet to announce how much resistance the Smart Control units will be able to produce.

The new Smart Control units will connect to both iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth and will also play nicely with popular third party training apps like Zwift and TrainerRoad.

As with all of Kinetic's trainers, the new Smart Control models will work with both thru-axle and quick release wheels, internally geared hubs and wheels as small as 16 inches with an adaptor kit. Kinetic is also offing a lifetime warranty on the frame of the new trainers, as well as a two-year warranty on the smart control units.
