Minoura V-270 Advanced-Magturbo Technology - w/Remote

What's V-series ?

V-series is Minoura's latest and full-fledged magnetic type indoor bike trainer combined with AMT (Advanced-Magturbo Technology). Minoura is the world-first company who owns the patent for magnetic resistance system on indoor bike training.
V-series trainer features various new techniques to provide more realistic pedal feeling, much wider variety of resistance level, tremendous quietness and easy bike installation/removal system.
V-series unit newly adopts Neodymium magnet which is 4-times stronger than standard Ferrite magnet. The flywheel has unique stair step style design (patent pending) for generating great variety of power from low to high. It's 2 times wider than VFS series.

World Quietest Trainer

Quietness is one of the finest points on ATM. It is much quieter than our VFS series which was used be the world quietest trainer until AMT was launched. We proudly recommend you that AMT is the best choice, especially for those who live in apartment house and need to maintain peaceful circumstance for neighbors.
Most competitors don't care about the noise. Even if they say their model is quiet, we can say they don't know how serious the actual demand is. We have been trying very hard to reduce the noise level for many many years. Our history length is different from them.

Position of V270

As the top model in V-series line, V270 was designed to feature its own special frame with quick release hub clamping mechanism and the heaviest flywheel for really realistic pedal feel.
The actual weight of V270's flywheel is just 2.0 kgs, but it will simulate 35% heavier 2.7 kgs once it spins. This weight is not just a heaviest number, it's the best balanced weight for simulating the actual on-road riding.
The main stage of V270 is road race training.

Purpose on U-shaped Leg Design

The unique U-shape leg design on V270 is not just for a design.
It's independently height adjustable in +/- 10mm travel to enable to place the trainer super stably even on uneven outside ground. It's a good feature when using at race event.
The total weight of U-shape leg is lighter than standard single tubing leg, and it opens widely for supporting your weight efficiently.

Compatible with Watt-Master

V-series trainers (except V100) are compatible with "Watt-Master" bike training computer which monitors output power, speed, cadence, time and distance for more effective workout.
By programming the training pattern, you can simulate the actual race course such as Tour de France, or you can design your own training pattern to achieve your goal.
Of course, Watt-Master can be used on road as a standard bike computer.

Note on Hill-Climb Training

Hill-climb training requires low-speed but high-power.
V270's super heavy flywheel won't reduce speed so quickly due to its higher moment-of-inertia, so it may not be the best for this kind of training. We recommend using V130 or V150 instead. They provide fewer inertia but same strong power.
