I understand their (likely) original goal, but the pricing on the MP1 was laughable on introduction. Simply unwarranted for a new product category that was understandably questioned at the time. Unfortunate that they essentially started with a halo level product when we say success with far more simple designs at the time. It acted as an impediment for those unaware of the much more fairly priced options.

I remember thinking that if they are all that high priced, a rocker plate was not in my future. Like the plastic parts from Tacx for the 2T. $300 for plastic parts that have such a limited range of motion? Ridiculous!! They offered them free at one point, with a purchase. Thought that I’d call them and say ‘Well, yeah, I bought one. Send me the plastic bits!’, but it was ‘new’ purchases (of course). But I know there are far more reasonably priced options out there. I was just surprised that they would kill something that was obviously rather overpriced when it seemed they needed the money. 
Picking this up from a very old comment. I am now considering adding an Elite Rizer to my setup. I currently have a Tacx Neo 2T and a “half” rockerplate that supports the trainer itself, not the front wheel.
I was wondering if anybody has any experience with a rear-wheel-rockerplated trainer with a “static” Elite Rizer for the front wheel?
I can see on youtube videos, the mount on the Elite Rizer allows some left-right and fore-aft movement, but with the rocker plate there would be additional twisting forces on the mount and of course also on the fork.
I have an aluminum frame from an ancient bike, so wouldn’t be a problem if it broke. I am curious regarding the mount on the Elite Rizer though. I am sure climbing or sprinting exerts quite some force on the mount…
Any views appreciated!
