His comments are in alignment with my experience so far with the MP1. I’ve gotten three rides in so far. With cadences in the 80 to 100 range the movement is subtle fore and aft. As I drop cadence it becomes more pronounced. Side to side rockering is primarily when working out of the saddle.
It definitely adds to the comfort, and those with really rigid trainers like the Kickr and Hammer, will likely really notice it a lot. I like to do longer rides on the weekends, and if the weather is forcing me inside, the MP1 should help facilitate these workouts.
There are likely many confounding variables, but I did pull off a lifetime 1 hour 10 min power PR on Sunday doing extended sweet spot work on the MP1. This was after two prior days of pretty hard on the bike training, so maybe, just maybe, the MP1 kept me a little bit fresher.
Interesting comment at the end of the video of a Saris bike coming incorporating the technology…
