If you found this review useful, you can use the links at the bottom, or consider becoming a DCR Supporter which makes the site ad-free, while also getting access to a semi-weekly video series behind the scenes of the DCR Cave. Once this review is done, I’ll get it boxed back up and sent back to them. Note that JetBlack sent over this VOLT & rocker plate media loaner, which I’ve been using to put it through its paces. Still, as you’ll see, it’s hardly mission-critical to the day to day Zwift or TrainerRoad user.


And if there’s any area that needs a bit more love, it’s the app. While many users never bother opening up the manufacturer’s companion app for their trainer (except firmware updates), JetBlack has one. Of course, sometimes it’s more than just the trainer itself that makes the experience. I’ve been using the JetBlack VOLT for more than a month now for all my trainer rides, and frankly, if blindfolded, you’d never be able to tell this wasn’t a KICKR CORE. Don’t worry, I’ll explain how that works later. Plus, it’s got a nifty feature that passes through your heart rate sensor data via the trainer, allowing you to pair the entire trainer/power/cadence/heart rate as a single channel on Apple TV, saving you one further channel for steering (with Zwift). Priced at about $849USD, it easily undercuts the Wahoo KICKR CORE in price – and seems to match it on real-world accuracy and sound (it’s basically silent).

The VOLT is not only a direct drive trainer, but one that comes with a cassette. And perhaps most interestingly – it has one trick up its sleeve that no other trainer has, and is especially useful for Apple TV users. Sure, in the past JetBlack didn’t always have the most competitive or accurate trainers, but with the VOLT direct drive trainer, those days are clearly gone. And the JetBlack VOLT is one of those such products, from one of those such companies. The wandering lyrics are reined in by a straightforward musical arrangement-three verses and three choruses. There are no fancy bridges or key changes. It doesn’t need them. It’s like a ride on a tired old horse slowly shuffling through the boarded up Main Street of a once-vibrant, then flooded, now abandoned town. Though “Tear Stained Eye” is about time passing, the song itself seems to sit outside of time like it’s always been there.I like being pleasantly surprised by smaller companies that nail a product. One of the Best Songs By Anyone Ever, “Tear Stained Eye,” contemplates the passage of time via scattered, oblique images of flooded river towns, waxing philosophically on matters of life and truth. Conclusions are hard to come by, but when they do arrive they are stoic, yet not quite comforting:

Louis his home. He made it out there, and he came back here. Jay’s songs are a view through a cracked window into the experience of living in a river city forever burdened by its past.

Louis, we have a special place in our hearts for Jay Farrar. He grew up in Belleville, Ill., across the river (rode the same school bus as my wife) and played all the same clubs we did. While many of our best and brightest moved away after experiencing success, Jay made St. Even with the help (cough) of a January 2007 MAGNET profile, it took Thebeau nearly 11 years to finally follow it up with the outstanding new Jupiter Rex (Victory Over Gravity). Finn’s Motel mastermind/auteur Joe Thebeau gifted us in late 2006 with the amazing, out-of-nowhere Escape Velocity debut, a concept album about leaving behind the drudgery of cubicle life and suburban malaise for some greater, unknown existence.
