It looks like the design team was hard at work for this one. They've developed a new resistance system which operates at a lower temperature. More importantly, the resistance unit has a quick release CAM and a new skewer clamp. That leads to faster trainer to dinner transitions which leaves more time for desert. They are also compatible to 29er wheels for those of you who feel like hopping on your big mtn bike this winter. I think the best improvement is the ability to level one leg at a time. That means you can set up your trainer anywhere and won't have to worry about those dreaded trainer accidents when you fall over while not even moving.
Like the older Fluid2, the JetFluid also gives a progressive, power adjusted, resistance which allows you to feel like you are on smooth road instead of a grated bridge. Believe me, that makes a difference when you decide to hop on for a workout.
I'd also like to note the high level of customer service at Cycle-Ops. After years of riding my fluid trainer I wore the thing out last season and it started to make noise. Cycle-Ops sent me a new unit so quickly I didn't even have to use the back-up wind trainer.
So if you're in the market for a new trainer, trying to convince your gadget husband to get on the bike, or just want something new this winter, take a look at these new trainers. They even look better than the normal ones so you can feel fast while being stationary.
Warm-up: 12 min
1 - leg: 3 x (30 s Right leg / 30 s spin / 30 s left leg / 30 s spin)
2 min ez
Aerobic Threshold ladder: ( 2 min on / 2 min ez / 4 on / 4 ez / 6 on / 6 ez / 4 on / 4 ez / 2 on / 2 ez )
1 - leg: 3 x (30 s Right leg / 30 s spin / 30 s left leg / 30 s spin)
cool down: 5 - 10 min
It may look pretty simple but if you truly push all the intervals you'll get a solid work out in just over 1 hr.
Enjoy the winter training
