The Revolution Bike Trainer Picks Up Momentum

It’s been three months since the biking community’s first exposure to the Revolution Bike Trainer and the positive reviews are pouring in.  The overall consensus: simulates road feel better, less wear and tear on your tires, and improves workout performance. What’s not to love!

Here at LeMond we knew the Revolution would change the way you train, and are thrilled to see others feel the same way.  Pre-order yours today and be ready to train more efficiently than ever this winter.

Check out some of the latest reviews:

The LeMond Revolution trainer simulates road feel better than any trainer, roller, or ergometer I’ve tried. It replicates the sensation of flying down the road with a slight tailwind so well that it lowers the misery index of riding indoors a notch or two. And less misery = more time training = more fitness.  The thing spins so well one might even say it makes indoor training (gasp) fun.

Unlike traditional trainers, the LeMond fitness trainer replaces the entire rear wheel and cassette with its own.  Why do this?  Well, aside from cutting down on the wear and tear on your tires, it also cuts down on the little black tire/rubber dust that ends up coating anything nearby.  Double bonus!

The new LeMond Revolution Bike Trainer, however, looks different and may provide that real road or MTB-like feel that other trainers lack. While it’s not cheap at $499, this bike trainer looks to be different enough and better in so many ways that it could quickly pay for itself in reduced tire wear and improved workout performance. Plus, this one looks to be truly versatile enough for both road or mountain bike use. A quick cassette swap and you’re golden.

LeMond’s Revolution, the same trainer used by Garmin-Transitions at this year’s Tour, is a marked step away from the status quo. It alters the way resistance is transferred to a drivetrain by completely removing the middle men — the rear wheel and tire — from the equation....
