Pro Trainer Update

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:54:47 +0000

We’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

admin — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 04:13:14 +0000

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 kids kick off mountain bike season!

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:08:56 +0000

Don’t you wish they had mountain biking as a high school sport when you were a kid?

The lucky kids of San Ramon Valley High School Mountain Bike Team have a great racing league out in California and they ride Kinetic trainers in the winter when the rainy season hits full force. The high school league racing season started last week with over 580 racers in the Division 1 League. San Ramon has the 2nd largest team with over 40 racers! The team placed 6th in the Division 1 race. We’ll be keeping an eye on them this year. Good luck everyone!

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.
