So picked one up. My observations:
1. Very quiet and the resistance unit works as expected, like the original kickr, very smooth at holding power, etc.
2. They definitely cheaped out on the stand, which I guess is why the cheaper price point. Mine doesn't even look like it has been welded straight.
3. The way they designed the area that clamps your bike in, there is no clearance between the trainer and the rear dropout area, and I'm worried about contact there. Pic attached.
