All SportCrafters rollers are designed to make the best technology in bike rollers available at the most affordable price. If you’re considering rollers, you already rank among the small percentage of cyclists who know what rollers can do to improve technique, power, efficiency and handling skills, so you won’t find clever sales slogans or clichés here, just facts.  The rollers you eventually choose, whether ours or from another manufacturer, should best suit your basic training needs and should not be chosen based on low price or tricky features. If your roller fits your training program and you are comfortable using it, you will wear it out. If not, it will gather dust. The most important basic decision is roller drum diameter and material. Please spend some time researching the discussion below on these subjects. If our roller drums meet your needs, we then encourage you to compare all other features against all other rollers on the market before making your buying decision. We also encourage any questions you have.

No roller in the industry beats SportCrafters for smooth ride, quiet, reliable performance and rugged construction.

You don’t have to be a pro to start your roller training regimen with our user-friendly, low profile frame and off-the-shelf road level resistance.

But if you're a pro, well, that's OK too.

 

What BICYCLING had to say

 

"Smooooth. The drums .... spin with such fluidity that, to paraphrase a bike-review cliché, they disappear beneath you. At 90 rpm in medium gearing, the drums let you whirl at talking pace but are small enough to make you suffer at high rotations.... we found the ride exceptionally smooth at all speeds but especially so at heavy loads with high cadence..."

"OUR VERDICT: Exquisite ride and great looks"  

(Bicycling, January/February 2004)

Product Improvements

NEW PRODUCT OPTION ADDED IN 2012! ARC_Trademark

We are excited to announce the addition of the PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE option. We are using patent-pending technology that employs dynamically mounted high power magnets to deliver reliable, consistent progressive resistance inside the roller drum.  See how it works on YouTube by clicking HERE

2012 improvements

This year we redesigned the end cap mold to index all the important features together so that every shot delivers a perfect part. This significantly reduces runout variations before lathing to improve dynamic balance.

2011 improvements

We’ve added a zinc dichromate plating on the frames before they are powder coated to provide a longer life, especially if the frames are scratched by cleats

2009 improvements

We made the leap to laser-cut inner axle tubes for optimum bearing alignment, which significantly improves drum life. We also modified the end cap mold to improve tolerances on the cap and drum assembly.
