Elite Arion Folding Rollers with Mag Resistance

Siccome questo rullo richede definitivamente anche delle capacità non inifferenti dˋequilibrio rende molto piú impegnativo e stimolante l' esercizio. Per questo non ci si anoia velocemente. Quindi, finche si riesce a guardare la tv mentre si fa girare le gambe su questo rullo, serve un po di esercizio… Poi la particolaritá di questo rullo é che si puó anche impostare una resistenza, quindi ancora piú versatile. Quindi: chi non necessita di passare lˋ intero inverno sui rulli usano Zwift, ma lo usa solo nei periodi di transizione (autunno e fine inverno) perche dˋ inverno si allena per esempio sui sci di fondo), secondo me é la cosa perfetto. Si ripiega anche in modo che ocupa pochissimo spazio. Unica cosa che i rulli di plasica forse non sono il massimo, ma darei comunque 98/100 punti

Me encantan , son super faciles de recoger, de transportar y no ocupan apenas sitio, el rodamiento de lo mejor, y la cinta super resistente, tienen tres posiciones de enduramiento de rodillos, me encantan

Dies ist mein erster Rollentrainer und ich bin sehr froh, dass ich mich "getraut habe". Ziel ist es, im Frühjahr nicht wieder bei "Null" mit dem Training anzufangen . Nun zum Produkt: Der Rollentrainer macht einen wertigen Eindruck (Rollen, Gestell mit Ab- und Aufstiegshilfe, Riemen zur vorderen Rolle), der sich bei meinen ersten Fahrten absolut bestätigt hat. Made in Italy, ich vermute mal, dass dort im Bereich Radsport viel Know How vorhanden ist. Der Aufbau und die Einstellung auf den Radstand meines Fahrrades (61 cm Rahmenhöhe) gingen gut. Ich bin begeistert, dass ich darauf selbst mit meinem Crossrad nach etwas Übung und mit ein bisschen Mut (und das mit nicht mehr ganz jungen Jahren) sehr gut fahren kann. Da ich Crossreifen (42er Schwalbe Smart Sam) montiert habe, ist das Fahrgeräusch nicht gering, wie es mit "Slicks" wäre kann ich nicht beurteilen, aber ich habe eine Trainingsmöglichkeit in einem gesonderten Raum und für mich ist die Geräuschentwicklung absolut o.k. An das Fahrgefühl muss man sich gewöhnen, aber ich persönlich mag dieses freie Fahren und das "analoge Erlebnis" ohne weiteren technischen Schnickschnack oder irgendwelche Umbauten. Bisher habe ich die höheren Magnetwiderstände nicht getestet, ich fand es zunächst auch so vom Rollwiderstand für meinen guten Beginn ausreichend. Wie ich es bereits in der Überschrift geschrieben habe: Ich bin begeistert und kann den Rollentrainer empfehlen.

Awesome!!! I’ve used the Elite rollers only 5 times. However I’m very happy with my decision to purchase this product. I’ve used these a total of 2.5 hours so far after receiving these a week ago. There are increment adjustments on the front of the roller to accommodate different size bicycles. I made the adjustment to match my bicycle’s wheelbase. It was simple to adjust. If I can make the adjustment anyone who can use an Allen key can. Simple. I’ve read reviews that state these rollers are loud. I don’t hear that. I’ve done some sprint interval training(seated NOT standing) on these and their performance has exceeded my expectations. I needed about 20 minutes of the 2.5 hours to get familiar with the balance required. I put the rollers near a wall for safety. I hope to get at least a couple of years use out of these rollers. So far so good. If I choose I no longer have to battle freezing temps to get my bicycle ride in. I hope the Elite Arion Mag rollers stand the test of time. Oh yeah, the resistance feature is great.

Took a week longer to arrive than dates given by Amazon at the checkout, when they turned up the box had been badly damage with a long rip down the side and further damage at 45 degrees, partially taped up by Amazon under outer plastic wrapper - clearly happened at some date before leaving the warehouse. Fortunately the rollers are undamaged and the build quality seems good.Instructions are needed in order to get your rollers set up to fit the bike you will be using, so I was surprised these were not in the box, but possibly they fell out of it due to the extensive rip. However, I found a pdf to download on the manufacturers website http://www.elite-it.com/en/products/gb/trainers/rollers/arion-mag - from which I quote "Before starting to use your ARION MAG it is necessary to adjust the centre distance of the rollers to make them compatible with your bicycle’s wheelbase."Other downloads on same web page include a chart with wheel base compatibility (944-1124mm) and a technical data sheet which gives some useful details not in the Amazon description, as follows: Technical data:open: 141x49,5x16 cmclose: 73x49,5x22 cmCharacteristics:Frame: the new frame featuring a modern and functional design is made fromglass fibre reinforced polyamide and is very solid and strong. Thanks to the 8ample support points it is very stable even during the most intense trainingsessions;Rollers: 3 perfectly balanced 85mm diameter rollers guarantee smooth pedalling,the same as on the road, thereby ensuring vibration–free use of the roller.The characteristic parabolic ends (with end diameter 100 mm) ensure easycontrol of the pace, since they instantly bring the bicycle back towards themiddle of the roller.The distance between the two rear rollers has been increased in order to optimisehousing of the wheel, making it more stable, and making training easierand safer in any conditions; whereas the perfectly smooth surface of therollers, together with the special compound in antistatic plastic material minimisesnoise and tyre wear.The high quality sealed cylindrical bearings are completely maintenance freeand guarantee many years of use without problems or noise caused by wear inthe materials.Maximum compatibility with bicycles: the Arion Mag can be used with roadbikes as well as MTB’s. The front roller quickly adjusts to 10 different positionsin order to ensure perfect compatibility with the specific frame size of thebicycle used, from a minimum distance of 944 mm (37”) between wheels to amaximum of 1124 mm (44”);Practical use: the frame includes a practical incorporated platform to facilitategetting on and off without requiring any support.Compact size: the frame closes 180°, thereby reducing the encumbrancespace by about 50% when not being used.Incorporated magnetic resistance: the innovative incorporated magnetic resistanceunit can be adjusted to as many as three levels and guarantees evenand progressive resistance, thereby enabling various types of training, simulatingflatness as well as climbs. This makes it possible to do agility and alsopower training. An easy and ergonomic slider on the roller is used to select thethree resistance levels. The latest-generation neodymium magnets used forthis incorporated unit guarantee lasting maximum attraction force.I have had a couple of short try outs so far with the rollers in a door frame for safety, second time getting on and off and keeping upright was already much easier, it is after all my familiar road bike but what is under the wheels looks a bit different. I expect that folding the frame when not in use will extend the life of the drive belt, as it is elastic and stretched during use.
