Want to learn how to manual?  You’ll need to learn how to find (and trust) that oh-so-sweet-n-magical balance point on your bike. Finding that balance point takes practice, repetition, and muscle memory. Enter: The Ninja MTB Manual Machine, the ultimate manual trainer.

The Manual Machine makes it easy to get in those practice sessions and get that muscle memory firing on all cylinders. Before you know it, you’ll be holding a manual as you ride through a gnarly rock garden, with one hand cracking open a cold one and your superhero cape flapping in the wind behind you. (cape not included)

Okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but the Ninja MTB Balance – Manual Machine will help you get the feel of a manual with super low consequences in the comfort of your home. With its solid construction and foldable design, learning and honing your manual has never been easier.   Top pick manual trainer for professional instructors.

  1. Ryan M.

    Looks nice, good materials. Can you maintain balance while practicing manuals? I’m optimistic, but only time will tell.

  2. Vincent

    The panels are made of wood and held together by bungee cords that makes it movable but sturdy enough to hold you up even if you tilt the bike to the side. Materials used are of good quality. I like the name etched on the panels. I’ve been using it to practice track stand and as bike stand.

  12. Stuart Hay

    The manual machine is extremely stable and has been very helpful. I haven’t mastered the manual yet but can see that I will with practice. My dropping has already improved because of the work I’ve put in on the machine. It is an excellent tool. Very simple and effective.

  19. James D.

    Absolutely love this ballance trainer. It’s challenging and fun and is helping me find and become comfortable with the ballance point on my Firebird. It wouuld be nice if they had more how to use videos but I was able to find some good content on YouTube. Highly Recommend.

  20. Ryan

  21. Canyon & Caiden Hilliard

    Amazing as well!

  22. Mark Gauding

    Great product and super fast shipping!

  23. Anne Stickney

    This is a birthday gift for my son in law so not sure how to rate it other than very timely delivery.

  24. Jason S.

  25. Heike Murphy

    Works as advertised.
    I record my “sessions” on the Hopper to see the mistakes I make etc.
    It definitely is a matter of trusting yourself to get your bum over the rear wheel.
    This is where the Ninja Hopper really helps to improve the technique, by holding the rear wheel in place while I lift the front wheel up to find the balance position .
    It is definitely psychological too, not quite natural to sit and lean that far back.
    Video shows tho, one must!😁

  26. jeff

    Great product ! Turbo shipping. EZ to assemble & unique great workout.

  27. Jason

  28. Guilford Y.

    Easy and prompt shopping process and the Hopper has been a big help already!

  29. Aaron

  30. Robert McAfee

    Great trainer that serves dual purpose as a bike rack, can pull bike into full wheelie and up against wall to keep out of way. Had to call to place my order because of a server issue and Rachel was a pleasure over the phone!

  31. Scott M.

    Great customer service, quick shipping

  32. JUSTIN WESTFALL
