Minoura V150

Upper-middle model with "Advanced-Magturbo Technology" (AMT)

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.
Position of V150

V150 has the same frame of V270 but with the standard single leg design in order to be more competitive and conservative.
The AMT resistance unit has 45% lighter weight flywheel to reduce the moment-of-inertia. While it has same strong power to V270, we can say it's more friendly for hill-climb training.
2nd Heaviest Flywheel

V150 features the 2nd heaviest AMT flywheel. Its actual weight is 1.1 kgs, but it works as 36% heavier 1.5 kgs once it spins for providing natural pedal feel.
The inside design is exactly same to V270. The only difference is the outer edge design.
Foot Pedal

The biggest difference between the original V150 and the newer V150-2 is Foot Pedal.
Foot Pedal allows you to minimize the setting up time significantly and can repeat the ideal roller pressure setting automatically to extend your tire life.
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.
