Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I borrowed a friend's $350.00 (lime green) Kinetic trainer before purchasing this one. The Kinetic trainer was indeed made of heavier duty materials and almost entirely constructed of metal. However, I still did not see an almost $300.00 dollar difference in price that I could justify. The stability of the two trainers seemed almost identical. This trainer actually has a feature that the Kinetic did not have with the remote handlebar tension control. The trainer I received was slightly different from the photo on Amazon. Mine has two identical molded plastic handles like the handle of the right in the photo instead of the lever on the left side that is shown. This did not seem to affect the functionality of the trainer but I do wonder if the lever would have given it a quick release on the left side like the Kinetic. This is still not a three hundred dollar difference. Works great and I have already recommended it to a friend.
