(34 customer reviews)

Original price was: $229.Current price is: $199.

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 Hopper 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. (verified owner) –

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

  2. Vincent (verified owner) –

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. (verified owner) –

  25. Heike Murphy (verified owner) –

    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 (verified owner) –

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

  27. Jason (verified owner) –

  28. Guilford Y. (verified owner) –

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

  29. Aaron (verified owner) –

  30. Robert McAfee (verified owner) –

    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. (verified owner) –

    Great customer service, quick shipping
