Sebastian - noting that the red knob on the top of your rollers at the hinge area should be moved forward in the slot and twisted down to lock the folding section in place. Just keeps them from collapsing if you get a bit aggressive in the ride, but for normal spinning seems not to be a problem.
stevebitburg Did not test the resistance at special speeds in particular, but the range is wide. Will have a look on it next time. Max resistance will depend on your output and the risk you are willing to take. I will not test it. Too dangerous.
I wouldn't exactly call that an aggressive standing sprint (which is what other people mean). Hovering above your seat a little bit and a slight increase in cadence doesn't really count in my opinion. Full on sprint on rollers doesn't really work because the bike would normally surge forward and back a little with the extreme power transfer. Also the belt stretches inconsistently when the power transfer is erratic (sprint force) so the front wheel speed is a little bit variable with back wheel, which makes overall tracking and balance harder. Elite are combatting this with their new Nero smart rollers that actually float forwards and backwards a couple of inches - kind of spring loaded.
I'm just impressed you did 95% of the review with no hands and the other 5% standing.
Thank you for the review and comments about Zwift and accelerations.

Welche Reifen fährst Du denn? Meine sind deutlich lauter auf der Quick Motion (Mavic Yksion).

Das ging ja flott! Danke! Mal schauen, hatte zwar eigentlich an die Michelin Competition gedacht, aber sind auch nur ein paar Euro mehr...
What are watts of resistance at 40kph and max resistance?

So much for not being able to stand on rollers.... I've seen other cyclists on TH-cam say that isn't possible.
Sure you can. Just put your weight on the back wheel and you are safe.

mark mccall The rollers he is reviewing here also float forward and rearward.
