This has to be the coolest ever smart trainer that’s also a treadmill. Well, it’s probably the only one ever.
How about a trainer that can take your bike as well as your feet when you want to go for a run?
The bike is TOTALLY free from any attachments to the trainer. Sensors adjust speed and incline by measuring your wheel position.
You can buy them in every country. Well, every country beginning with NETH (excluding Netherlands Antilles)…try here http://www.vanherwerden.nl/. I can’t seem to find the price anywhere (but haven’t looked too hard)…it’s not going to be cheap. (Eu 8000, thanks Barrie, below)
Well, I thought it was a clever idea. So long as the sensors work…really well. Have a look at Pete Sagan at the end. I could just about bunny hop onto a trainer too.

wow, i’d have guessed half of that. i’m only going to buy three now. oherwise i would have popped one around for you.
Limiter for some will be that @ it’s maximum speed 30km/h with the full incline of 15% it can only support around 1200W…
that’s 900w higher than 80% of people need. stick some cyclo cross tyres on and that should slow you down a bit more.
the thing i like about it is the natural ride. i do get a bit stiff sometimes on trainers (compared to the road); couple that with (perhaps) not having to change wheel/tyre and i’m quite attracted to it. I was planning on building an extension this year, so all should be good on the sapce front.
Just need to make space for the endless pool and you will never have to go outside again.
nice catch with the story. Still waiting for a boring write up from dcr . Doubt he will bother as Clever Training won’t sell it and it hasn’t got Garmin written on it.
Cynic.
I posted a piece about it when it first came out 16 months ago… this is nothing more than yet another press release saying they’re about to ship shortly (they’ve done about three of these over the last year): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQGLO152ESE
I generally only post about a given Garmin product once or twice: Once when it is announced, and then again at final review. Take Garmin Running Power, once when it was announced, once at finish. Maybe next spring sometime as a long-term look. Others may post more frequently on it, which is fine too.
I won’t likely review the Magnum for the very simple reason it won’t fit through the door to the cave. I review plenty of products not on Clever Training, always have, always will…even if they’re boring.
Wouldn‘t buy it. Find it too small/narrow/tight, wouldn’t feel comfy on it. I‘d prefer more something like this (https://www.h-p-cosmos.com/en/products/individual-products/saturn-450300-rs) one. ?
you must have a big house and at leastr several friends willing to join you. (And a large bank balance)
Perfect indoor group riding. ??
get some strong fans and you could even simulate drafting
