Pro Trainer Update

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Kinetic Pro Flywheel packagingWe’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about the Kinetic Pro Trainer model and Pro upgrade for the Rock and Roll. Mostly asking where have they gone?… Well, it’s true, we have discontinued the Pro Trainer model and the Rock and Roll is no longer sold with the Pro upgrade option. The good news though is that we’re now offering the Kinetic Pro Flywheel as an accessory to work on all new Kinetic fluid and magnetic trainers (manufactured after January 1, 2010 – with serial numbers 76184 and higher).

The Pro Flywheel is a great addition to your trainer if you’re looking for the most realistic indoor ride possible. The added 12 lbs. will increase your resistance at acceleration and nearly double your coast down time and is perfect for hard-core endurance workouts, like tempo and long slow distance rides.

Spring traveling season off to a great start

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

QBP’s Frostbike kicked things off back in February. It was a great show and good to see so many friends. We’ve been unveiling our POP plans with our new slatwall planogram and a few other POP goodies. We plan to have a kit available through our distributors sometime this summer. We’ll have more updates here, so check back regularly!

After Frostbike, it was off to California for the Team Tibco training camp in Santa Barbara and a bunch of distributor and shop visits. We visited the KHS offices and met with Allen Needle and Galen Burk of Giant USA. We also made a few visits to some great So Cal shops including: Irvine Bicycles, Bike Religion, Incycle, Banning’s Bikes, Stan’s Monrovia Bicycle, and Laguna Beach Cyclery. Check out our video of Team Tibco’s beachside trainer session.

We’re making a point of gathering candid and casual Flip Video footage of some of the shops and people and places we’re visiting along the way this Spring, so stay tuned for new video as we get it edited and uploaded. See you soon!

Kinetic Trainer enthusiasm is contagious!

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Even our suppliers are trying to promote the Kinetic trainer line. Brenda is an employee of King Solutions, our shipping company, and this is what we were greeted with when we walked into their conference room for our annual business meeting. The trainer and bike belong to Patty Cowan. She got this for Christmas this year from her hubby.
