    TYRE DRIVE TRAINERS

    What are TYRE DRIVE trainers?
    A Tyre Drive unit generates resistance when the tyre of your bicycle comes in contact with the roller of the trainers unit. Tyre drive models offer the closest real road feel available.

    Tyre drive trainers generate more noise due to variances in tyres and even in riding styles. It is crucial that only a completely slick tyre be used with any tyre drive system. Using any other tyre like a knobby MTB tyre or even a road tyre with some pattern in the tread will cause an uneven and perhaps dangerous training experience.

    RIM DRIVE TRAINERS

    What are RIM DRIVE trainers?
    The Rim Drive system offers an effective solution to some of the issues found in tyre drive trainers. This system was developed, patented, and sold exclusively by Minoura.

    In having the resistance generated at the rim of the bicycle wheel, the rim drive system allows the use of any kind of tyre since the tyre never comes in contact with the trainer's roller. This eliminates the need to change a knobby tyre out for a slick tyre in order to use a trainer.

    The rollers on the rim drive system don't touch the tyre at all so you won't need to worry about tyre wear, especially when warming up before a race.

    ROLLERS

    What are ROLLERS?
    Rollers are most popular with track riders for their smooth, fast spinning capabilities and jump on, jump off convenience, making them perfect for spinning out the legs in warm-ups and warm-downs, pre, post and in between events.

    The other benefits of rollers apply to all cyclists, as the extra balance and smooth technique required to ride them, forces you to become a smoother and more efficient cyclist, which aids your ability to ride faster, longer and with more control. You can also add a MAG unit to some models to create road-feel resistance for strength training purposes.

    As some coaches will tell you, the best way to ride rollers, is to not think too much and just ride, as the same forces that keep you up-right on the road are the same ones that keep you up on rollers.
