Gentle on your bike, so you can ride as hard as you like. Even if you can’t get out on the road, you still want to ride your favorite bike, whether that’s a prized road bike, or a much-loved BMX. Previous trainers have tended to use A-frames or direct drive designs which, no matter how smooth your pedal stroke or how well-dampened the device, will put stress on your bike’s frame. The Matchrider has eliminated this issue with a bold piece of design. Our frame mount is connected by 3 rubberized, aluminum cradles that are attached to your bottom bracket and down-tube with nylon straps. They’re fully adjustable, so you can avoid bottle cages, pumps and batteries without difficulty. Better still, the mount isn’t weight-bearing. That job is done by your bike’s own wheels, which rest on a set of rollers at the rear and a cradle at the front. For the first time ever, this means that you can ride as hard as you like on your favorite bike, without worrying about whether your frame is going to suffer, even if you’re pushing over a thousand watts like Robbie.  The rear wheel will be spared as well. The polyurethane rollers are as forgiving as a tarmac road – without the potholes, of course.
