While researching the best indoor cycling trainers for our new cycling gear store, I came across the 1upPOWERbahn from 1UPUSA, makers of the innovative 1upUSA trainer that uses a centrifugal clutch system. The POWERbahn trainer is still in development, and unfortunately it did not reach its fundraising goal on Kickstarter, but here’s a brief overview of what it offers.

What makes the 1upPOWERbahn different?

The makers claim that it realistically mimics the outdoor ride indoors, that it closely simulates the experience of grade and motion changes that you feel on the road. It even simulates momentum, and it does it differently based on the rider’s weight.

• Simulates grades up to 15 degrees, and downhills to -5 degrees
• Wireless Ant+  speed, cadence and power
• Authentic inertia and momentum with no deadspots while pedaling
