Not all trainers are created equal, and Blackburn’s Tech Mag stands above the rest in one specific area – frame stiffness and stability. The Blackburn engineering group designed the oversized steel Tech Mag frame to excel in these key areas, and it’s something you’ll definitely feel and appreciate during high-intensity efforts, especially out-of-the-saddle. Adjustable-height legs keep the bike close to the ground, eliminating the need for a track block. The wide-range, six-setting magnetic resistance unit boasts one of the lowest initial resistance settings available, perfect for spinning the legs to warm up or recover, and there’s still plenty of meat in the harder settings for tough workouts. A bar-mounted thumb lever lets you select between ‘mellow’ and ‘excruciating’ on the fly.
