Product Description
Most riders will never need to understand the fluid mechanics of shear stress, magnetic eddy currents or Lens'z Law, and how these things affect a trainer's performance. But it's through a thorough understanding of these details (and a bunch of others) that Blackburn was able to develop some of the best indoor trainers on the market for 2010. We sarted off by creating our own trainer R&D center complete with a battery of proprietary testing equipment. And then , we tested - some 15 trainers in total - benchmarking everything from frame rack and spread stiffness to thermal decay at 40 mph. We took that data and went back to the drawing board. The result: the Tech Fluid and Tech Mag 6 trainers. All-new adjustable height frames that set a new benchmark for stiffness and stability. Fluid and magnetic resistance units with carefully scuplted, smooth and progressive power curves to meet the needs of weekend warriors and world class atheletes alike. Even the mounting hardware was redesigned for faster, easier use. So while you'll never need to know how optimized flywheel weight affects resistance and rollout quality, once you turn the pedals on a Tech Series, you'll be glad we do.

 A FastCrank mounting system enables fast, secure mounting and dismounting of your bike to the trainer. |
The result of all this prep work was the Tech Mag 6 trainer. An adjustable-height tubular steel frame offers outstanding stiffness and stability, while fluidly magnetic resistance units create sculpted, smooth, and progressive power curves. The mounting hardware was also redesigned to speed up the process, and you can choose between six different resistance settings with a bar-mounted remote.

Blackburn Tech Mag 6 Trainer Reviews

All the others were either too loud, too heavy to haul around, or didn't offer enough resistance. This trainer on the other hand is 1- affordable 2- super super quiet! probably the quietest there is! 3- not too heavy, and can be taken to races for warm-up and 4- the resistance levels on this thing are fantastic! In my heaviest gear (52T chainring 14T cassette) and on resistance level 6, it requires about 450 watts of power to get it spinning at a decent pace. For most with 11T cassettes, it'll take about 500 watts at resistance level 6. for me, staying on resistance level 3 is a tough workout (around 200 watts) I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a decent affordable trainer. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful:  Great Starter Trainer, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Blackburn Tech Mag 6 Trainer (Sports) This is a great starter trainer, a little noisy but managable with headphones on. It came well packaged, the instructions (1 sheet front and back, like 6 languages) are not very detailed, but it's pretty simple to put together. I was missing the quick release skewer, but was able to call the company and they sent a replacement part right away. I have a very old bike that does not have a quick release lever at all on the tires, but was able to get the bike to stay in it anyway.Overall nice product, well made, simple to use. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: Blackburn Tech Mag 6 Trainer 12/21/2011, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Blackburn Tech Mag 6 Trainer (Sports) I ordered my Blackburn Tech Mag 6 Trainer on 12/19/2011 and it arrived on my doorstep today 12/21/2011 - Fast Delivery! Having read the 12 reviews from others, flipping through Utube reviews, and not having purchased a trainer before. I went ahead and purchased the Mag 6 Trainer...Earlier reviews mentioned missing parts & no instructions, also mentioned the unit was rather loud. Upon opening the packaging I found the entire unit in tact, with instructions, and no missing parts. The Mag 6 was a bit tricky to put together but if you just take your time, it will take less than 15 minutes. Once the Mag 6 was assembled, my next concern was removing the skewer (sp) from my own bike and replacing it with the one that came with the Unit. It was a very simple process and took less than a minute to perform. Attaching my bike to the Mag 6 was quite easy, although I suggest you loosen the RU Adjuster Knob a bit so that it slides back to allow your tire and skewer to aline properly, then you can...
