Fluid Resistance
The trainer has a nice and sturdy frame so you can be assured of the stability and durability. It uses a fluid resistance. It is more like cycling on the road and you won’t feel much difference
between the two. Resistance is smooth and natural because of oil and a big flywheel. You won’t feel any vibrations and noise while working out. The resistance level offered by the trainer has a good range for every kind of a training need.

Noise of Fluid 2
Although the trainer is pretty quiet but some users have this ticking sound when they workout. If this happens, check out the nut on the flywheel, it may have come loose. Just tighten it up and you will be good to go.
