Notably absent is any mention of adjusting the leveling spring tension.
So, this video, along with the comments from Saris reps at the live demos seems to be enough to say that the MP1 does NOT include user adjustable spring tension.
As already mentioned, it seems like a mistake overall, and crazy to me considering the above premium pricing.
Itâs an insane move, given that trainer weights and heights of center of mass will vary wildly from one rider to another.
Well, they have chosen to apply a relatively strong / stiff leveling spring setting. As such, that is less problematic for trainer offsets and rider weights. Even though I firmly disagree with their choice to use strong and non-adjustable springs, I can understand it from a âsimplicityâ standpoint.
It is probably fine for a starting point for most users. I have people hop on mine, with itâs very soft leveling spring setting, and they are unnerved from the lack of support. I choose that so I have real balance control over the bike, and gives a very natural feel, especially out of the saddle.
I am curious to see the reception based on comments from others I know as long time rocker users, in comparison to new buyers who have not tried other rockers.
all good points.
Quite a positive set of comments and experience. Not sure if its âsponsoredâ, but its positive press for rockers overall, as well as for the MP1.
The videos show the same backwards timing we have seem on every other MP1 demo. It is most likely a result of the high leveling spring force set by Saris.
Looks funny and is âwrongâ in a pure sense. But as weâve seen in the rocker group, people donât seen to mind it. And even with that issue, I still feel itâs better than a rigid setup by a large margin.
As Iâm nearing a decision on a rocker platform, TruTrainer rollers come along and mess up my decision matrix! Argh.
Received an e-mail today from Saris with a link to pre-order the MP1. I guess this is a good sign that theyâll be shipping soon.
FedEx just dropped this off. I wasnât expecting to get it so soon (directly from Saris). Iâm leaving town tomorrow morning so I wonât get a chance to ride before next week, but Iâm looking forward to my first rocker plate.
Is that the MP1?
Yup.
Iâve been waiting for Clever training to get mine in, bought it Nov 23.
Let me know what you think. If I ever see a sale or maybe a work bonus in March I might treat myself.
Damn, mine got delayed 'til mid January.
Jealous! Canât wait to get mine.
I just got an update email from Sales at Clever training concerning the MP1 I have on order , Saris said wonât be out until Early February now. So something is going on.
Crap, bummer for you. I got an email with a link to preorder a week or so ago. I skipped it, but heard some others may have ordered.
Not sure what is behind the delay.
Got the same email. Sounds like they are working out some issues. Rather see the delay and a better product than getting it early and having issues.
"Thank you for your pre-order for the Saris MP1 NFinity Motion Platform. Saris recently informed us another delay on this product to ensure quality control and your satisfaction.
As a result of this delay, we do not anticipate having the MP1 prior to early February."
I agree on the delay, Hope its a better product because of it, but man my winter just got longer! Haha
Have you set it up and ridden it yet? Looks like you got one of the only ones before the delay. I was told not until mid febâŚ
I have not read this yet, but could be interesting.
My buddy has an H1 with a very similar clicking noiseâŚdid you get this resolved? if so, how?
(Literally asking for a friend!
