Subject: Kurt Kinetic Road vs. Kurt Kinetic Pro
I'm looking to purchase my first trainer and have decided on a Kurt.  The 2 models I have it narrowed down to are the road machine and the pro fluid model.  It sounds like the pro fluid model has 2 flywheels (a 6 and a 12lb) and longer coast down and also an easier attach/detach mechanism.  The road machine seems to go for a bout $320 and I found a pro model on sale for $349.  For any of you with knowledge of both models, is it worth the extra $30?

They also appear to have a computer for these trainers that allows you to train with power.. Have any of you used their computer on the trainer and how accurate were these power meters?  Thanks!

Thanks guys! Jim, how do you like your rock-n-roll? Would you recommend it over the stationary pro?

I was just on KK webpage the other day, looks like they are revamping the lineup and discontinuing the pro model and will be offering a weighted flywheel that can attached to the new standard version.  You can probably still find the existing Pro models though.

I want the Rock-n-Roll or a set of nice rollers, sitting still is hard enough!

Regarding the KK CPUs with power.  They are accurate of use on the trainer, read this thread
