I have a Zwift Ride and was looking for a way to make it both more interesting and to alleviate some saddle soreness that I was experiencing when doing 1+ hour sessions. I came across the Velocity Rocker and decided it was exactly what I was looking for. I’ve had it for over a month now and it both met and exceeded my expectations. 2+ hour sessions are no problem and the forward and backwards movement is a game changer. Bonus points for the owner being very quick to respond to my initial inquires as well as being extremely helpful.
I have had my Velocity Rocker since October 2021 and have 17,400 miles on it. It continues to perform exceptionally well. Owner Albert Knowles has been excellent to work with during initial purchase and with follow on questions about completing recommended maintenance. I made my purchase relying heavily on a review by Eric Schlange from Zwift Insider (https://zwiftinsider.com/velocity-rocker-plate-review/). I’m so happy with my Velocity Rocker that I just bought a second one for my wife to use with her trainer setup.
I'm glad I spent the extra on this vs. something $300 cheaper that only has the left to right tilting. The back and forth rocking feels nice and I'm sure adds an extra bit of comfort and feel to it. Now I can go all out on Zwift rides for longer with the added comfort and sprint without feeling like I'm about to snap my bike in half (or tip over when I was using balance hedgehogs under my trainer).
What compels me to write this review is the rocker came preassembled with the pain cave lights and packed very well. I was expecting to have to assemble the Velocity Rocker and then add the pain cave LED lights, which would have taken a while. Nope! Velocity had the entire thing assembled with the LED lights on it. All you have to do is inflate the balls, strap your trainer and front wheel to the Velocity Rocker, and little sticky pads on the contact points.
I do recommend getting a pressure gauge either through Velocity or yourself because I did blow up one of the balls from overinflation. Thankfully, Velocity provides you a spare ball.
I've had the Velocity Rocker for almost a week. I can't imagine riding without it, it totally transforms indoor cycling. Even though the motion isn't exactly the same as an actual road bike, it makes seated efforts much more comfortable and realistic. The rocking turns FulGaz virtual rides into a MUCH more immersive experience. This is the bike radar of indoor cycling - before you buy it you wonder if it's possibly worth the cost, after the first ride you wonder how you possibly rode without it.
I am using a Wahoo KICKR Bike and am 6'2", and it does not seem like I could tip the Bike/Rocker assembly even if I were trying, stability doesn't seem to be a concern.
The company shipped the product quickly and was very helpful during the order process. Accessories were priced fairly. I recommend the LED option, it is worth the markup to have them installed over ordering and adding LEDs yourself. They look good and make it much harder to accidentally kick the rocker in a dim room.
I bought a Velocity Rocker about a month or so ago. I have been training hard for over a year, sometimes over 200 miles a week on the trainer alone. The problem has always been severe saddle soreness after the 2 to 3 hour mark. Most people said I was lucky to be able to ride inside for that long. When I first got the Wahoo Kickr, Wahoo told me a rocker plate was not necessary. Being new to indoor training, figured this was the way to go and I would deal with the discomfort for long indoor rides. Then I saw an advertisement on Facebook for the Velocity. After researching it further, and reading Eric’s review from Zwift Insider, I figured I would give it a try. Well the Velocity is a “Game Changer” for indoor cycling. I have been using it for a few weeks, mostly rides 20-40 miles. It took a week or so to get used to. It is amazing how real like it makes indoor training. This weekend it was cold, windy, and raining like crazy outside so I completed a 5:25hr - 122 mile ride on the trainer and was no more sore after the ride than if I road outside. I usually do not take the time to post reviews of products but I was so amazed at the performance of the Velocity rocker that I felt the need. I can’t believe I had suffered a whole year of intense indoor rides and training without it. I highly recommend it and can say you wont be disappointed. Well worth the cost.
