It doesn't look like these are as free spinning as some other rollers on the market. For example, Sportcrafter specs their
Cadence rollers at about 140 watts at 30 kmph (18.6 mph) while the graph for the Elite Quick Motion Rollers show almost 200 watts at the same speed.
I'm open to correction.

Your Sportscrafters Overdrive Pro has a similar principle in their mag resistance unit, though probably not the identical resistance, noting that the OP's Elites have 3 resistance settings and Sportcrafters aren't adjustable
AFAIK. In any case, the Sportcrafters OP unit needs about 400 watts to achieve 30 mph, while the Elite tech data shows 420 watts at 40 kph or 25 mph, probably on its max setting. For sure not free spinning but should be fine on the lowest setting for easy workouts. My guess. Does that seem reasonable to you, 400 at 30?
