Minoura Live Roll R500 Roller — Premium Alloy Bike Rollers for Real-Road Feel
Train smarter, ride smoother, and master your bike handling with Japanese-engineered precision.
The Minoura Live Roll R500 rollers are designed for cyclists who want a true-to-road indoor training experience — ideal for improving balance, cadence, and control in a compact, foldable design.
Product Overview
Crafted in Japan by Minoura, a trusted name in cycling technology, the Live Roll R500 is more than just an indoor roller trainer — it’s a performance tool that refines your riding technique while building endurance and balance.
The large-diameter 105 mm alloy drums create an incredibly smooth, realistic road feel, while the stable platform ensures quiet operation and precise control for riders of all skill levels.
Whether you’re preparing for racing season, refining your pedal efficiency, or staying fit through winter, the R500 delivers a fluid, natural ride indoors.
Key Features

- Big 105 mm alloy rollers for smoother, more natural road-like feedback
- Whisper-quiet performance suitable for indoor training
- Adjustable wheelbase (970 mm – 1,090 mm) fits most road and track bikes
- Folds in two for easy transport and storage
