Is there a manual adjustment for variable speed or does it just adjust to the resistance automatically?

There is a manual adjustment knob just like on a normal variable speed grinder/polisher. We haven't clocked the speeds but, slow is really slow and fast is good enough. We use it mostly for polishing and metal prep (high grit) not material removal. It doesn't get used everyday, but it is $300 well spent when we do use it.

We use ours a bunch for metal prep and it pretty much sits at the higher speeds. If you do a lot of pipe it is an awesome tool. Two passes down a piece of 2" schedule 40 and you are done.

Don't know why people are saying this is variable, I did not see any speed settings on mine but I haven't used it yet.

With this version of the Cyclops Mag trainer, you initially set the resistance on the unit itself, then you can change gears to adjust the resistance. There is no way to remotely change the actual trainer resistance while you are riding besides changing your gears.

I'm not aware of it adjusting the fan speed automatically. There may be some type of switch to set it to do that and I'm just not aware of it. I've just had no desire for it to adjust the fan speed automatically.

You can adjust the resistance by the amount of water that you add. There isn't a switch or lever, just the water level which can be adjusted. There's a mark on the tank above which you don't want to add any more water (maximum resistance, I suppose) but you can certainly add less.Also the faster you row, the more resistance you create.

I have no clue I tried and broke it off the handle bar where I mounted it, luckily the bike I use has 10 speeds to adjust the resistance

you have to keep holding it. there's no variable speed. you also have to watch how you insert it into the fluid or pull it out, since it does spatter. but the push lever is pretty sensitive. its like a leaf or a latch, that you push up or down, like a long button you depress.

no, there is no controllable variable speed. however you can lightly squeeze the trigger switch to gain uncontrollable variable speed

It is electronic. The control panel changes the resistance as you change it on the panel.

By turing the red knob you add resistance on the flywheel. The resistance remains consistant during the workout.

No it is not variable speed. There is an on/off switch on top of the housing just behind the front handle. One speed!

Hello Sir, If I understand your question correctly, your asking if there is a manual mode speed adjustment in which you can control each of the fans speeds without interference from the automatic mode - If so the answer is YES. This unit provides excellent control functionality allowing the user to manipulate the speed of the fan in any configuration. The only exception to this is the 'Aera+ Mode' which can only be leveraged in automatic mode. I hope this helps answer your question. I myself am very pleased with this purchase given the deal I found - It was a 'deal of the day' that also, (if one paid attention), had a coupon to clip for additional savings. By the time I reached checkout, I owed only $109. After using it for sometime now, I would have easily paid what they are asking for today. Anyways, let me know if need any additional information. Regards, -A.Farrow

Honestly, I haven't programmed it but you can easily set the resistance levels, I'm up to the 4th level now, I move it up when I feel it gets too easy.

Yes. Get a variable potentiometer, a dial equipped piece of equipment that will vary the voltage so you can slow the motor to whatever speed you want.

It does not have a high and low setting on the controls, mine doesn't cycle that much and it seems to go a degree or two beyond what it is set at before it comes on. with that said I seem to recall the manual mentioning a jumper that could be used to change the amount of leeway before it came on and off. But I cannot say for sure.

I can adjust the speed with the throttle, yes, by turning it a little or all the way. I vary my speed easily with the right-handed control. The brake on the left shuts off the motor automatically no matter how fast you're going. This is an amazing zippy thing! :)

I'm not sure. Every time I tried to use it, it started pretty hard but then it kinda gets "smother" as you keep going. I can't remember if you can adjust the resistance bc I gave it away last year; sorry I can't help with that question :(
