Minoura B60-R (Remote)

Position of B60

B60 is the new entry-level trainer after M70 in order to be more competitive in US and European market.
The frame is slightly modified from the newly developed U-shape frame to reduce the cost.
Mag unit is the exactly same one to M70 with 0.7 kgs disc type flywheel, but B60 has both remote and non-remote type.

New U-shape Frame

B60's frame is basically same to M-series. 38mm diameter steel tubing is durable enough to support up to 120 kgs weight.
The 29mm diameter legs are completely foldable for compact storage. They open widely when in use to provide good stability.
The frame finish is changed from the standard wet-paint to the rust-proof black ED paint finish.

Hub Handle

B60 is not equipped with quick release hub clamping lever which is found on M70 or greater grade models to reduce the cost.
However, the operation of the hub clamping handle is quite easy and you can engage/release the bike in short time.

Mag Resistance Unit

B60 is available on both remote and non-remote versions. Not limited like M-series.
On the non-remote version (B60-D), 3 levels of resistance power is available via the manual lever on the unit.
On the remote version (B60-R), 7 levels are available via the remote control shifter on the handlebar or stem.
Even though the number of levels is different, total resistance power is exactly same on both versions.
The flywheel is made from twin steel discs and weighs 0.7 kgs.
