You control the amount of resistance The considerations that affect quality and price are the type of resistance offered to the cyclist.

The trainer clamps your rear wheel around the hub and the wheel rests on the resistance generating flywheel. The drive mechanism of a magnetic trainer is a flywheel that has rotating magnets that create a set amount of resistance as they're engaged or disengaged.
