You can teach an old dog new tricks! What a difference a trainer makes. I've had Wahoo Kickrs for years and was utterly bored with indoor riding and frustrated by the terrible support from Wahoo. My buddy recommended that I try rollers. At age 63? I didn't think I was up to it. I found TruTrainer power rollers reviewed on multiple sites and pulled the trigger. I purchased the SmartLoad Power Rollers, platform, front roller bumpers and the front fork stand. Everything arrived in a single box with a personal note of gratitude within a week. The assembly was straightforward, and I was off and cycling (with the fork stand) in less than an hour. The self-powered roller ( no AC cord required) connected immediately to Zwift for a 2-hour workout. The next day, I moved the rollers into a doorway without the forkstand and was rolling after 20 minutes of building my confidence. I'm out of the doorway this morning and spinning without a crutch ( albeit with a wall nearby). The experience, movement and challenge of being on these rollers has extended my indoor training hours beyond anything I have ever done with the Kickr. The bike moves left to right, there is a bounce, and it is improving my core and pedal stroke. This is as close to riding outdoors as you can get. Well done, TruTrainer. Where have you been my whole life? :)

Hi there, I purchased their smart roller. The rollers came in a perfectly organized package. Everything was extremely easy to assemble. These rollers are beautifully crafted and roll smooth n quiet. I signed up with Zwift right away and the roller was quickly ID by my iPad and off I went. It’s been two weeks now, five rides later, everything is working great. I highly recommended this product to anyone thinking about purchasing a smart roller. Thanks Mike for all your help, best customer support ever!

I've had TruTrainer rollers (Smartload) for over 3 years, after having ridden the leading competitor's rollers for 12+ years before that. I've ridden many thousands of miles of rollers, and the TruTrainers are head and shoulders better in every way. TruTrainer rollers have an incredibly realistic road feel and making riding inside a pleasure. The power curve when spinning up (even without engaging the Smartload module) and leveling off is dead on, as is the load or inertia when pedaling at a steady speed. They are smooth, substantial, and nearly silent. And you can spin easy or push as many watts as you can handle. On top of the ride experience, the machining and fit of parts is just beautiful, and then add the cool anodized colors on the end caps on top of that, and a heavy duty frame with a corrosion resistant coating. It’s great to see a product made like this in America. TruTrainer rollers are worth every penny and then some -- can't recommend them highly enough for anyone interested in indoor training.

I have been using indoor trainers since the days of wooden rollers and have owned many different solutions (rollers, i-Magic, Cateye CS-1000, Computrainer, Lemond Revolution, Saris H3, KICKR, etc). Still, none of them got the "feel" of road riding right. I was initially scared off by the price point of the TruTrainer Smart Rollers, especially since I had invested in the complete KICKR solution (Climb + Headwind fan) and was reluctant to spend another $1500-2000 on something that might not do it for me. I made the leap and bought the rollers and after just one interval session put my KICKR up for sale. There is so much to love. The rollers just feel great. They are smooth and heavy and sync effortlessly to online training apps. The spindown is simple, and the power is accurate (tested against my SRM). And, likely most important to many, the ERG mode is PERFECT. They are also beautifully built, and I look forward to many years of indoor training on what seems to be the perfect solution. Don't hesitate to buy a set.

I started using a TruTrainer when they first came out with the original model 12 years ago and upgraded the rear roller to Smartload Power System 7 years ago. The Classic and Smartload models are best-in-class products. I have tried all the other popular systems over the years, and none of them compare. The only way to get a more road-like feeling is to ride outside. Also, the service and support you receive are top-notch. After seven years of intensive use, the servo went out on the Smartloader, it was replaced at no charge with no questions asked.

The trainer doesn't need advertising or a testimonial like this. Put your bike on it and simply ride! Even interval training is possible (okay, maybe not sprint intervalls). And best build quality money can buy. And I had a problem with the app. Fast and personal contact, until the problem was solved. And...ahhh just get one!

The TruTrainer rollers are probably the best money I've spent on cycling. I'd been looking into rollers for a while and one thing that was turning me off was the lack of resistance most rollers seem to provide. While you could spin up and work on high cadence endurance or maybe use them for warming up, It didn't seem that you could get a real world workout as if you were riding outdoors. Then I came came across TruTrainer. The promise of being able to do workouts with a real world feel was a huge selling point, and I'd grown very tired of workouts on the old static trainer. After convincing myself that this would be worth the price, I took the leap. I'm sure this is well worth it. I find myself using it even when I don't have to be inside. And these were easy to get used to, probably because of the heavy rear flywheel that allows you to coast. These rollers were my first time ever even trying rollers and I think it took me 20 minutes before I confident enough pedaling unassisted, away from a wall or doorway. I'd highly recommend. Thanks TruTrainer!

Best decision I ever made, period. Before your rollers, I only trained indoors when it was absolutely impossible to ride outside. I hated training indoors because the feeling of working out indoors was nothing like working out outside. I had a really hard time hitting my prescribed watts indoors when I was using my old static trainer. It felt like I was pedalling way harder than if I were riding outdoors. 200 watts, felt like 250/270 watts for example... Now, I can hit the prescribed watts just like I was training outside. The realism, the feedback on the rollers is amazing. When I need to do high intensity workouts, like interval training at FTP watts, I no longer dread doing those inside like I used to. The experience has been so good, that even though it is not raining where I live at the moment, I still train indoors with the rollers. I don't need to worry about traffic, crazy drivers, nothing. I just get on the bike, put on a tv show and just perform the workout at peace.It's no longer a chore to workout indoors. So yeah, i'm extremely happy I made the decision to purchase the rollers, even if I had to pay a huge amount of money to the customs here in Portugal hehe. Best decision I ever made. So thank you for developing an amazing product. It has helped me a lot with my training, and will help me for a very long time I hope.

I took up cycling at 48 after running for decades. TruTrainer Smart Load rollers on Zwift had more of a development contribution than entire seasons of riding outdoors. They are rock solid and I’ve never had to pay attention to them. Totally seamless and bulletproof. Buy them. They are more expensive than a fixed trainer, but are 100% worth it. They also taught me bike/balance control, which is important at 6’4”.

Simply the best rollers available. I have ridden the TruTrainer rollers for almost 5 years. From the real road feel, high quality, and the terrain adjustment on platforms like Zwift, there is nothing that comes close. I would recommend these to everyone!!

I have been riding the Tru Trainer Premium Smartload Rollers for several years now and they are hands down the best indoor training solution I have ever ridden. The feel of riding outside, while riding comfortably inside during harsh Adirondack New York winters is an absolute game changer !

The SmartLoad Trainer has been an absolute must for my 70.3 Ironman training program. I use the SmartLoad minimum 3-4 times a week. It has been an amazing tool in the winter and I’m seeing the power gains on a weekly basis. Can’t thank the team over at TruTrainer enough for creating such a top shelf product.

These rollers are my most prized possession. I ride at least 4 times a week and used these rollers exclusively to train for the Seattle to Portland single day ride (206 miles). Happy to say that I was well prepared and the ride was (mostly) a piece of cake! Thanks TruTrainer for an awesome product. PS: the smart rollers work super well w/ the TrainerRoad app. They will automatically adjust resistance to match the intervals for your workout to keep things interesting. Couldn't be happier w/ my training set-up.

By far the best rollers I’ve used in 20 yrs. Nothing else on the market (especially stationary trainers) has such a realistic road feel. The heavy flywheel maintains moment so much I can coast for over 20sec. to adjust shoes or chamois etc. and standing out of the saddle isn’t an issue. The app works well and allows me to add resistance for intervals or connect to platforms like Zwift. No batteries or electricity needed, either. I really dislike riding indoors but TruTrainer rollers make it tolerable. Worth every penny. They are heavy but fold in half for storage. Customer service is great too, if you have any issues.

Awesome rollers and excellent service!

I purchased two SmartLoad Power Rollers so I could ride a tandem on them with a friend. Worked great, and we were able to coast for a while thanks to the dual flywheels! Highly recommend if you like endurance riding. If you like to sprint and spike your power, you will want to avoid or disable the flywheel.

I've been an enthusiastic and sometimes competitive cyclist for over 50 years, 32 of which were spent in the bicycle industry, and all of them in a northern climate, so riding a trainer is pretty much inevitable, and I've tried many. The ones that hold your bike in a fixed position were never compelling - to me they're like riding an appliance, so I eventually gravitated to rollers. I found standard rollers to be an improvement and could convince myself to use them. But even though they were engaging, they weren't particularly realistic, mainly lacking in the areas of momentum (coasting) and resistance. Then a couple years ago I heard about these and decided to go for it and ordered a set in Dec 2022 with their power resistance roller installed. The build quality and materials all seem about as good as you could hope for, even the packaging was impressive. Out of the box they're extremely smooth, very quiet, and resistance builds naturally as you shift to bigger gears or increase your cadence, all while providing a coasting effect when you slow or stop pedaling - unlike any other roller that I know of - all of which conspire to allow for realistic out-of-the-saddle efforts. As for the power resistance unit, I can only speak to its effectiveness as accessed through their app, as I have yet to engage with Rouvy, Zwift, etc. - that's not really my kind of thing (yet). The app does allow for you to alter the resistance, but it seems redundant to just shifting your bike, given how realistic the rollers are anyway, though it does provide you with power data in the event you don't have another source for that information. I guess my advice would be to only go with the "smart" version if you intend to engage with one of the smart trainer interactive apps. And as is the case with almost anything mechanical, things can happen, and when one of the bearings started to make some noise the people at TruTrainer were very responsive and helped me get it sorted quickly. They were also available and attentive when I had questions about connectivity and compatibility during initial set up. This is one of the rare products that I can recommend without hesitation.

I've owned my TruTrainer for several years and did a lot of hours on it, be it by TrainerRoad or just to ride how I want. The feeling with these extremely well-built rollers comes very close to riding outside. All the skills you need outside can be exercised, because your whole body has to work. As well I'm very satisfied with the perfect service from the manufacturers, if you have any questions.

Best rollers I've ever used full stop. Smooth and beautifully made. I've been riding rollers for 11 years and used almost all the brands. These ones I'll never sell. I use mine on zwift, full gaz and TR with a power meter. If you need more resistance use a larger tire and a bigger gear.

My TruTrainer has been amazing so far! Unlike regular rollers, TruTrainer mimics the feel of the road, making drills like high-cadence spin ups and sprint intervals feel like you’re riding on tarmac. After doing workouts on my TruTrainer, I’ve noticed improvement in my road riding this winter that I wouldn’t have if I was riding standard rollers. The product is built well, works as advertised, and makes winter training more mentally tolerable. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this product enough!
