I was bent on getting a smart trainer, but they were all sold out. i was surprised to find this Cycleops available, considering it’s stellar reputation, but I suppose the trend is to smart machines. FYI: this IS COMPATIBLE with training apps. You’ll need a speed device, sold separately. Pros: well-built, sturdy, quiet, very smooth, even resistance (shift Bike gears to increase resistance—no extra connection/gearing needed), collapsible, easy storage. Cons: set up. It’s actually not difficult, but Saris makes a booklet that is unclear at points. For example, when sliding the pin into the bolt-action side, which will connect to the skewer, you must slide the BEVELED end of the tube in first. This is completely unclear in the directions, but DOES matter when connecting to the bike and tightening things down. Also, make sure the fan and main power unit (both are connected to the same piece of metal, which attaches to the legs), are positioned correctly: the bulky power unit on the left, the fan blade unit on the right. If you reverse these during attachment, it will adversely affect the rear dial adjustment once the bike is mounted. Believe it or not, the manual does not illustrate a fluid 2 trainer, which has these two pieces, so it could be easily mixed up during install. Once I got passed a frustrating moment or two with set up, the trainer worked like a dream. My old trainer, a Giant that is 12 years old, is nowhere near as smooth or quiet as this Fluid 2. I love it. I use a yoga block to elevate the front, but you can use books, a rolled-up towel, etc. If you want to smart train, you’ll need the additional accessory. If you’re happy without it, I believe this is the best non-smart trainer for the money. Review: Overall, a good trainer - My only other experience with bike trainers is with the long-discontinued Travel Trac 2000 (Official Trainer of the Mercury Cycling Team!) that I purchased about 25 years ago and that started leaking fluid a couple of month ago. After a month of so of use, I am generally satisfied with my new Saris Fluid2, but I have a few observations. Assembly was relatively easy but watching the short videos on assembly from Saris helped considerably. The Saris trainer does fold, but it's not designed to fold after every use (as was the Travel Trac). I have limited space for trainer set-up and need to take the bike off the trainer and store both after every use. The legs of the Saris trainer do fold, but it takes considerable force to fold them; so, I leave the trainer set up. Not a huge deal but slightly inconvenient. My 1990s road bike fits the trainer but only at the widest setting of the trainer's hub locking mechanism. The left side of the quick release skewer seems to seat too shallow in the receiver on the trainer and thus makes loading the bike onto the trainer a bit of a challenge. The locking mechanism that fits on the right (cassette) side of the skewer initially took about all my strength (I'm old) to close until I put a little WD40 on it. The trainer is quiet to use, although I do have hearing loss and ride on a concrete basement floor. There seems to be a bit of vibration in the trainer as I'm riding, but whether the vibration is due to my tires (~slick road tires) or some other cause is unknown; again, not a big issue thus far. I have not tried to get out of the saddle with the Saris trainer but presume it is sufficiently stable to do so. I have not used, nor do I plan to use, any of the "smart" options available with the Saris trainer. My bike computer provides all the info (riding time, speed, average speed, cadence, and distance) that I need to know. Overall, the trainer works well enough. Whether it matches the tens of thousand of miles of riding/training that the Travel Trac provided remains to be seen. ## Features - REALISTIC ROAD-LIKE RIDE: Precision fluid resistance mimics outdoor cycling with progressive resistance that increases as you pedal harder, just like real roads. - QUIET & SMOOTH PERFORMANCE: Large precision-balanced flywheel with patented design keeps noise low while delivering a consistent and whisper-quiet indoor cycling experience. - EASY SETUP & FOLDABLE DESIGN: Classic foldable frame and simple wheel-on installation make setup fast and compact storage effortless. - TRAINING APP COMPATIBLE: Works seamlessly with popular virtual training platforms (like Zwift and Rouvy) when paired with a speed or cadence sensor (sold separately) for enhanced indoor cycling. - BUILT TO LAST: Durable fluid resistance unit and robust frame construction provide reliable performance and longevity through countless training sessions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07WP6JRSQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,654 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #5 in Bike Resistance Trainers | | Bike Type | Hybrid Bike, Mountain Bike, Road Bike | | Brand | Saris | | Brand Name | Saris | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 598 Reviews | | Frame Material | Aluminum | | Frame Material Type | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012527018598 | | Included Components | Indoor Trainer | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 22"L x 7"W x 20"H | | Item Type Name | Fluid2 Indoor Trainer | | Item Weight | 7.3 Pounds | | Load Capacity | 69 decibel | | Manufacturer | Saris | | Manufacturer Part Number | SAR9904T | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Name | Fluid2 Indoor Trainer | | Model Number | SAR9904T | | Number of settings | 1 | | Resistance Mechanism | Fluid | | UPC | 012527018598 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | | Wheel Size | 12 Millimeters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Saris - **Color:** Black - **Frame Material:** Aluminum - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00012527018598 - **Material:** Aluminum - **Number of settings:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 22"L x 7"W x 20"H - **Resistance Mechanism:** Fluid - **UPC:** 012527018598 - **Wheel Size:** 12 Millimeters ## Images ![Fluid2 Indoor Bike Trainer, Smart Equipped Option, Fits Road and Mountain Bikes, Compatible with Zwift App - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616KfAPh3sL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Sirve para bicicleta MTB rin 29?** A: Si sirve...! **Q: hello, i would like to know if the Saris Fluid indoor trainer can be use on a road bike with disc brakes ?** A: There is not a specific adapter that is needed regarding the disc brakes, but many disc bikes do have thru-axles. If your bike has a thru-axle, you would just need a thru-axle adapter. **Q: Will this work if my bike doesn’t have the quick release levers?** A: No. Recommend taking your rear wheel to a local bike shop to to see if it needs an adaptor or a new wheel. **Q: Will this work work a 2021 cannonade bad boy 1 with the belt drive?** A: There’s a good probability that this would work. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tons to love, one con. *by G***S on April 17, 2020* It’s tough to find trainers these days.

Easy to assemble. Better than average assembly instructions. Sturdy. Relatively easy to mount bicycle on trainer, especially with the included replacement skewer. Very stable while in use. I recommend the front wheel leveling block and a bike trainer pad (mine is in a room with carpeted floors), even though the trainer and the leveling block do raise the bicycle enough that mounting the bike is slightly more difficult than normal riding mounting. Relatively quiet, though it does make noticeable noise. I have not ridden since summer got in full swing (I live in Florida and this summer has been very hot and humid) but rode 3 miles this morning (day two after assembly) and will push it on up to five miles tomorrow, on the way to my normal routine (I'm 77 yrs old, so not a college athlete going for gold!). Note that to get mileage and speed from a device, such as a Cateye computer, the sensor has to be on the rear wheel when your bike is mounted on a trainer (I had to move my sensor from the front wheel to the back). Also note that wireless devices will often not "transmit" far enough for the sensor to be on the rear wheel and the readout on the handlebar. Took some experimentation to get my Cateye to work reliably after I moved the wheel sensor. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase at this time. This trainer was recommended to me by my son-in-law, who is a track and field coach (college level) who uses his Saris trainer as part of his training routine for marathons and "ironman" competitions. Seems to have been a VERY GOOD RECOMMENDATION! ## Frequently Bought Together - Saris Fluid2 Indoor Bike Trainer, Smart Equipped Option, Fits Road and Mountain Bikes, Compatible with Zwift App - Saris Leveling Block for Indoor Bike Trainer - Saris Standard Thru Axle Bike Adapter, 1.0TP or 1.75TP, 142X12 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/165184349-fluid2-indoor-bike-trainer-smart-equipped-option-fits-road-mountain](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/165184349-fluid2-indoor-bike-trainer-smart-equipped-option-fits-road-mountain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
