The heart of the Hammer is its 9 Kilogram precision-balanced flywheel, while its soul is the innovative, fast responding electromagnetic resistance. The result is a direct drive trainer with rapid response resistance, maximum power and the sensation of rolling on smooth asphalt. Its robust design and direct frame-to-trainer contact allows the Hammer to stand up the toughest of riders, up to 2000 watts at 32 kph, and the ability to simulate grades up to 20%. Retail price for the Hammer is $1199.99 USD.<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full aspect-video\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hj7wHW3uQvU?feature=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been producing some of the best virtual trainers since the dawn of this technology,\u201d says CycleOps President, Jeff Frehner. \u201cWe care deeply about providing the best, most entertaining bike training experience possible.
