Turbo-training is not the most attractive proposition at the best of times, but when it involves a perpetual whooshing noise and a complete lack of road-like feel, it becomes the absolute final thing you want to do. Thankfully, a quiet and realistic indoor riding experience is yours for the taking at a very reasonable price courtesy of the Jet Black Z1 Fluid Pro.

Jet Black is an Aussie company, and the Z1 is as straightforward in both set-up and operation as you might expect from a product originating in the land Down Under.
