Kinetic by Kurt Floor Mat (Black)

I was previously using a pair of large towels. I have no idea why I didn't get a mat before now. It's a big step up both cosmetically and functionally to my previous ad hoc DIY. I don't know if this mat is better or worse than other mats. However, the size is perfect for a bicycle on a trainer. It could perhaps be a tiny bit shorter and narrower (5"?), but the extra space helps permit standing next to the bike to dis/mount and thus keep bike cleats from ruining the floor. Here are some things I noticed:* looks MUCH better than towels* no twist or creep from a ride* zero sweat absorption (it pools)* thick enough to protect hardwood from cleats* firm & thin enough to not feel any rock or wiggle* no discernible difference in sound* space to mount & dismount on sidesBTW, while I couldn't tell any difference in the sound while riding, I'm hoping it reduces transmission via the hardwood floor to neighbors.

I like the quality, density, thickness and durability of this product. I think it will hold up fine and perform well. I would gladly buy it again.

As others have mentioned, the mat is on the thin side & appears delicate, but I have not had an issue with tears or rips. I wear my SPDs on the mat but I am cautious while standing. It took a couple of days for the mat to fully relax and the mat seems resilient. I have moved my trainer after a week of sitting, and the indentations did subside after time. I did NOT notice any chemical smell nor would that deter me. Rather a slight chemical or rubber smell than that of sweat and armpit.This mat does an OK job at absorbing sound, but again, it is not the thickest thing out there. Cleaning is great! A Clorox wipe (or 2) & you’re done. The non porous material does not absorb sweat or odor. Definitely worth a try.

Great mat! Very light for the size, thick enough to absorb the vibration and avoid noise and just the right size for the Kinetic Road Machine 2.0 Fluid Trainer. The surface is rugged, but soft and not slippery. You can roll it and when you unroll it stays flat immediately. It does not stink, like some rubber mats do.** Update: After using it for about 20 times, the pedal cleat from my left bike shoe made a hole in it. When I leave the bike, I have to step on the mat and twist. I know this will be hard on any mat, but since many people will be doing the exact same thing, I would expect better durability on that area, so I am removing one star for that. I would advise people with pedal cleats to reinforce the dismounting area with a harder material.

I have a Wahoo KICKR + KICKR Climb indoor trainer setup, sitting on a concrete floor. It feels perfectly stable, but I noticed when I'm doing rides where the KICKR Climb is moving a lot (like riding up a long climb in Zwift where it's routinely moving the front of the bike up and down) it causes the whole setup to creep forward, which was annoying because it would then run into my laptop stand and I'd have to jump off and slide everything back.I was skeptical this would fix it if it were just a yoga mat kind of material. But this is great - it's thick and has a sort of weird memory-foam-esque quality to the heavy rubber, where things sink into it and leave imprints. I think that really helped - it means the back-wheel KICKR can't just slowly creep forward. Totally fixed the problem.

Switching from a yoga mat to the Kinetic Trainer Mat for my bike workouts was a game-changer. This durable mat effectively absorbs sweat, offers excellent coverage, and ensures protection for my wooden floors. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the product.

The mat does what a mat should. It keeps the floor clean when I’m on the trainer and it helps to dampen vibrations. It’s pretty sturdy. I’m sure I could use it for other workouts too, but for now I’ve just used it with my smart trainer.

The mat is as advertised and is wider and longer than I expected. If you want, there is even room to put a fan on the mat in front of your bike, and you should want to put a fan in front of your bike while riding indoors. Using this mat, I would even feel safe riding my trainer on the rugs for which my wife paid way too much. Not that she would let me. I can't think of a way to have any issues while using this mat for its intended use. It should work for even the sweatiest of cyclists, but it might not be able to help you if you knock over a 64 ounce Caf-Pow while trying to mount your bike.

Mat works great under my smart trainer keeps the sweat off the carpet. It doesn't like pedal cleats i almost tore it while standing on it, I put a small piece of wood down so I could stand on it to get on and off the bike. Other than that I am very happy with it.

TEngo un rodillo un poco grande (feedback sports) y le quedó perfecto!!Está perfecto, me encantó.

Bought for himself to train on as he insists on training in the spare bedroom which has quality deep pile carpet. Carpet is protected and it seems to absorb some noise so I’m happy. He’s happy as there’s plenty of mat around him to catch sweat and leave room for the fan and iPad stand he uses for his training app.

Excelente alfombrilla de muy buena calidad. Uso polivalente gracias a su gran tamaño para utilizarla para hacer aerobic, rodillo, etc.Merece la pena invertir un poco más en esta alfombra que es un poco más cara que el resto!

De material buena calidad y se mira resistente
