Trailblazing technology that adds multi-axis movement to stationary cycling. MP1 brings the freedom of riding outside to training indoors.
Since their inception bike trainers have set out to solve one problem: simulation of outdoor riding, indoors. Major breakthroughs came with the introduction of smart trainers and indoor cycling apps, complete with virtual races, group rides and controlled workouts. Nfinity MP1 combines over 20 years of indoor training expertise to not only create the movement platform category – but to perfect it. The result is an unmatched trainer platform that reimagines the indoor trainer experience altogether.
How does it work?
Harnessing the proprietary Saris Nfinity Technology, the Saris MP1 Motion Platform provides an unparalleled way to train and move indoors.
Distilled down to a combination of mechanical ingenuity and physics of movement, the Saris MP1 with Nfinity Technology is the first and only trainer platform capable of producing a responsive and natural training experience through the addition of fore/after axis movement.
By adding some movement into indoor training, not only does enjoyment of indoor training increase, but comfort on the bike increases too. Pressure mapping and motion capture technology shows the MP1 significantly alleviates saddle and foot pressure compared to riding a static trainer.

The movement of the MP1 also requires the rider to engage muscular groups to maintain balance, as one would do on a real ride. From engaging the upper body to get through sticky spots to activating smaller, key muscles to stay balanced, the MP1 is the only way to recruit large and small muscle groups while riding inside.
Plus, anyone can use it. Designed to be universally compatible, the Saris MP1 can be used with any brand of trainer currently on the market and every Saris trainer that’s ever been produced, complete with adjustable attachment points and well-placed grip tape.

Trainer Mission Control.
Every training room needs a control center, and the TD1 is more than equipped for the job. Designed to perfectly compliment the MP1, the Saris TD1 is made of the same Baltic Birch and steel as the MP1. An integrated power-strip keeps training necessities charged and close at hand, while the desk itself is adjustable for a wide range of training stations; a dedicated control center for the training room.
TD1 Trainer Desk
Reliable. Durable. Quieter Than Ever Before.
The H3 Direct Drive Smart Trainer touts the same reliability and durability as its predecessors and is the quietest direct drive smart trainer to leave Saris’s doors. Each H3 is made from cast and machined aluminum, encasing components that are meticulously calibrated to measure power, speed and cadence, as well as a precision-balanced flywheel – all built to handle 2000 watts and replicate a 20% climbing grade.

The MP1 looks like a fantastic way to improve the experience of indoor training, and it's great that it's compatible with other brands of trainer. Would be interesting to see what it costs though.
