Product Description
The Kinetic Wired Power Computer is designed to give you accurate power (watt) readings when you are using a Kinetic Trainer. All other functions (speed, distance, cadence, calorie burn, altimeter, etc.) are accurate both on and off the trainer. Because of this, the Kinetic Power Computer is an excellent choice for a cycling computer both on and off the trainer. The watts reading is calibrated based on a mathematical relationship between power and speed. This Kinetic Power Formula along with our proprietary software accurately estimates the cumulative effect of 16 different interactive forces. This power curve is based on the "average" ride on the "outdoor ride" using the following cubic function: P=(5.244820) * S + (0.01968)*S3. S=speed in mile per hour, P=power in Watts. Features include: -Speed -4 keys -Auto Start -Max Speed -Speed bar (% of max speed) -Average Speed -Speed Comparison -Distance 1 -Distance 2 -Odometer 1 -Odometer 2 -Odometer 1+2 -Ride time 1 -Ride time 2 -Distance Countdown -Time to arrival (arrival time/time remain) -% to arrival (Bar display) -2nd Wheel size -Time (12/24hr) -Auto sleep -Calorie expenditure / Fat burn -Stopwatch -Auto lap (time/distance) -Power -Max power -Avg power -Temperature (C/F) -Max Temperature -Min Temperature -Easy Calibration -Service interval reminder -EL Backlight -Cadence -Avg Cadence -Max Cadence -Low battery indication
- Kinetic Wired Power Computer is designed to give you accurate power (watt) readings when using a Kinetic Trainer.
- All other cyclo computer functions (speed, distance, cadence, calorie burn, etc.) are accurate both on and off the trainer
- Comes with computer, stem/handlebar mount, speed transmitter w/ magnet, cadence transmitter w/ magnet, battery, cable ties.
- Watts reading is calibrated on the following mathematical equation: P = (5.244820) * S + (0.01968) * S3 where S=speed and P=power
- Find out your power input while riding on your Kinetic trainer. Off the trainer use the cyclo computer to tell you your stats

Since I had a Kurt Kinetic trainer, I figured that the power computer would maintain similar high standards of quality. It was just the opposite. The installation was quite simple, and took about 10 minutes to accomplish. Since one would never have the intention of leaving this on one's bicycle, it should have been made as a clip on device. Once it was installed, it worked properly for about 10 minutes. The buttons would operate in a variable fashion, the device would arbitrarily turn off and then on again, resetting all the variables, the speeds would arbitrarily jump around randomly even when pedaling at a constant speed, and it would spontaneously do unpredictable activities. I never was able to have it stable enough for even a single work-out episode and it never gave me even a single item of useful information during the work-out. My advice to Kurt Kinetic...

Everything on it is the cheapest possible grade. The magnet broke in my hands when I tried to install it. I used the magnet from an old Cateye computer. Even the plastic zipties were dried and snapped. The reset button on the computer itself sticks in the "in" position. The mounting bracket doesn't hold the computer firm enough so when you press the display button the computer goes flying off the bike. The battery only lasted 3 months. The display turns rainbow colors at about 60 degree F. BUT, you get wattage and all other vital info for your workout--so you NEED this thing. My Kurt kinetic rock-n-roll trainer is bomb proof. I love it. However, this computer is the biggest hunk of junk I've ever used in my life. Everything about it is of the lowest quality--but you need one, so buy it. Kurt Kinetic should tar and feather the guy who thought it would be a good idea to put their name on this thing. It is just shameful. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful:  watt the heck!, By Chuck I. (Yorba Linda, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Kinetic by Kurt Wired Power Computer (Sports) Very cheaply made. Readout is small. Buttons are loose. Wires are flimsy. Shocking contrast in quality when compared to the Kinetic Road Machine trainer I bought it with. Should be included free with a $275 trainer in my opinion. But it works, just not worth 45-50 bucks. Be careful installing it as to not pull out the wires or crack the plastic tab that locks the computer on to the mount. |
