Don't get me wrong, I think the Kurt Kenetic is a excellent machine but it's an overkill. The Cyclops Fluid 2 is more in line with real world wattage output of even the elite cyclist. All Cyclops come with a lifetime warranty as well, so there's nothing to worry about.
I know that no one can do or sustain 2500 watts....that's not Kinetic's selling point. That statistic is just proof that Kurt is a better built machine and should hold up for many years....it's bullet proof. I have owned a few cyclops machines and they all eventually broke. I'm on the 3rd year now with the Kurt. I like 'overkill' as you say. I'll pay an extra 100 bucks for the overkill.
