Kurt Kinetic trainer

Has anyone tried the new kinetic wheel on trainer with ant+ and Bluetooth?

I have an older Kinetic wheel-on trainer and I recently added the Inride3 sensor to it. Takes all of 5 minutes to install. I have a usb ant+ dongle and a usb extension cable so that I can locate the dongle close to the Inride3. I bought it from amazon for around $45.

Paired up just fine and works with zwift.

For my purposes it's fine, but likely not as accurate as some. Still, for the price it was a nice option, especially since I already had the trainer.

Is this the one you are referring to?

If that is the one, I am also curious how people are liking it.

Basically, yes. I had the Kinetic trainer and then installed the Inride3 sensor on it. The Inride3 is BT/Ant+.

I have the same thing, just got there in a roundabout way.

For zwift it works fine.

Their little rubber insert for the magnet allows you too push the magnet in too far and look like crap if you aren't careful. I pushed mine in too far, and things weren't pairing off the bat. I had to take the battery out, put it in backwards, then put it back correctly.

It actually took me a little bit for everything to be playing nice. I still haven't successfully had the app tell me it was appropriately calibrated.
