If the price really ends up at $399, then this is going to put massive pressure on Saris and the other existing commercial rocker plates. Hereās hoping for the the $399 price.
Competition = good

I live in the Portland, OR area, and happened to notice on their webpage that InsideRide is here as well. Sent them an email and they let me purchase an early unit. (I paid full price and can confirm it is $399).
I have two rides on it so far (Baxter and Goddard) so not a lot of time on it yet. It does indeed move fore and aft, and I find this to be the best feature. It provides immediate feedback on pedal stroke, uneven pedaling and youāre moving all over, smooth it out and it settles down.
Iām still getting used to the tilting and steering connection, but the second ride felt much more natural than the first. Larry (from InsideRide) provided me some instructions today that will help.
It does work with a 2014 Kickr. Turns out the flywheel offset (it is further outward from the center leg) is different on my 2014 Kickr so we had to āpreloadā the system a little to get it balanced. InsideRide now has a permanent solution and Iām headed over there tomorrow to have my unit upgraded.
I really like the way it feels, much more āoutside rideā feel than just the Kickr alone. I donāt ride rollers and havenāt ridden other rocker plates so canāt compare.
Anyone know how to upload video to the forum? Itās not letting me.
Let me know if you guys have any questions, Iāll answer them if I can. (I asked Larry if it was ok to post that I had one, he said āYeah, tell everyoneā.)

- Post your video to YouTube first.
- Copy the āShareā link from the YouTube source, post that link in the forum thread, and it will link to your video.
- I think you can also use the āEmbedā option, but I havenāt used that one in particular.
Thanks so much for the info. I am really excited to read the comments and am looking forward to the video. It kills me that they donāt have any videos posted yet. Their last official one is over 7 years old and seems crazy to me. They have a great product, but do a poor job on marketing (and their website is well behind the times too).
Iād love to see them step up the game and get their stuff more seen and known.

Second Chad on wanting to see the video - I just really need to see it in action before I pull the trigger.
And yeah - their marketing is terribleā¦I asked them to post a video on their FB page and their response was basically, āMaybe DCRainmaker will make oneāā¦seemed really odd that theyāre relying on 3rd parties to do something so simple.

I think you have the video marked as private on youtube - Iām unable to viewā¦thanks for making it!
How 'bout now?
Still private for me when I just tried.
It worked for me. Pretty keen to see it with someone on the bike.
Inside Ride posted a link to Tariqās good review on their Floating Fork Stand via their FB page. I asked about a video and more info on the E-Flexā¦ and they gave the same āHopefully DCR will do oneā¦ā.
And what is wrong or impossible with the manufacturer making a debut video???
I just donāt get it. Youād think they would want to take ownership of the initial presentation of a new product.

For those that can view the video, what region are you in?
I am US based and wondering it there is some other restriction besides the typical public/private setting?
Iāve got my video and post going live tomorrow morning my time. My video is done, just need to export it out and upload it in the morning. And then wrap a post around it. First-look style post after roughly three rides now.
The video includes three concurrent camera angles and the Zwift screen in real-time. Well, three cameras till the one on the ceiling fell off the ceilingā¦then it became two camera anglesā¦

Video is working for me now. Looks like it moves as expected fore-aft and lean via steering input. Thanks for the video. I love the concept of this add-on.
Glad to see it works with a 2014 Kickr! Will probably replace my homemade rocker plate with this once it is released
