Elite Quick-Motion Roller Bicycle Trainer Review + Setup - feat. Floating Frame + Parabolic Rollers

Roller style bike trainers offer one of the most realistic indoor riding experiences. Where most trainers lock the bike in place, rollers act more like a treadmill for your bike and allow for side-to-side movement and balancing. In this review, we’ll be looking at one of Elite’s top non-interactive rollers, the Elite Quick-Motion rollers. The Quick-Motion rollers feature a number of premium features such as parabolic rollers and a floating system to absorb sudden motions and keep the bike centered. While it’s not interactive, the magnetic resistance system offers quiet and smooth performance with three resistance settings. The features don’t come cheap though, as the retail price on the rollers is $569.99. Note the rollers can be paired with an optional Misuro B+ sensor for connectivity with use on Elite’s My E-Training or other training platforms.

The Quick-Motion rollers feature a traditional three roller design with the rear wheel centered between the two rear rollers and the front wheel slightly behind the front roller. A simple dual rubber belt connects the front and middle rollers together to rotate both bike wheels at the same speed. In order to achieve a compact design, the front roller has a simple “I” style frame with an expandable center section to accommodate different bike lengths. The rollers have Elite’s characteristic black/red color scheme with bright red colored rollers and a black plastic housing. A magnetic resistance unit is concealed in the rear roller housing with plastic cladding to hide the internals. Although the trainer is not interactive, a simple 3 position toggle switch can be used to adjust the resistance of the trainer. The adjustment toggle is placed low which means you’ll need to stop to change the levels.

While some may lament the lack of smart features with the Quick-Motion rollers, it greatly simplifies the setup. That means you can setup the rollers outside your car to warm up before a race or in your driveway as no power source is needed. The rollers have a three-piece folding design making them quite compact for storage or travel. To unfold the rollers, you first rotate the knob to unlock the two front pieces from each other and then unfold the trainer. Before laying the trainer flat, the trainer has to be adjusted to the proper length. Elite recommends placing the centerline of the front wheel 10-15mm (0.4-0.6 inches) behind the center of the front roller for optimal stability. After you have measured your wheelbase, you can loosen the knob on the backside of the center section and extend or retract the frame to the optimal length...
