Pricing about the same for the Fluid. Which do you prefer and why?

I think the C-Ops is OK as far as fluid goes. It’s WORLDS smoother than my CT which feels coarse by comparison.

I don’t know anything about the Kinetic, and would be inclined to look more closely into that.

They both share the same steel frame

i’ve only got the cycleops. can’t compare btwn the two. it works well.
sure is boring, though. ride for an hour and never even reach the next room…

Kurt. The 6 lb flywheel on the road machine is very nice. I’ve ridden CycleOps and Kinetic, and find the Kurt MUCH smoother.
