Love your reviews!! Thanks taking the time to make these reviews. My only question now would be how long will the pads last with constant daily use. I think I'd be happy with just the pink pads. You could alway lessen the resistance but what the max resistance is is more important to me. Looking forward to future reviews by you. 🙏☺
@@yauheniniafiodau1292 Hi how are you. I am going to do update videos it’s been so busy I have not had time but I should be able to do some new reviews soon. Thank you for watching.
Yes, sometimes we are distracted from our “toys” for adult life: work, vanity... I noticed that in many reviews from different people the exercise machine creaks, I have not seen that it was lubricated with oil. I wonder why? We use lubricant to prevent creaking and jamming.
That's right, in this case you have to maintain a delicate balance: minimum lubrication, more friction. Sometimes it is necessary to remove excess lubricant, pre-warm up the machine (crank it well at a low load), allowing the excess oil to come out, and wipe the balls so that they are not too dirty. When the movements acquire viscosity, you can train. The downside is that such a simulator gets everything dirty, so you have to be careful and use a napkin or rag.
Lubrication works well on a classic two-ball exercise machine, but on a super bison it can be inconvenient: the exercises are more difficult and it will be impossible to avoid contact with clothing and hands.
@@mrqualityreviewer4752 well now I have pink pads that are black and pink and gray and pink. Which one should I be using for higher resistance? Also, does your gripzilla get stuck on the twisting screw the higher resistance you go? Should I undo it and try to reapply it? The resistance is very uneven on both sides but I still have been getting great workouts
@@SimonGonzalOS they are the same Gripzilla says they have a different feel but I don’t notice the difference. Mine can get stuck a little try unscrewing it and screwing it again. But I had one that I sold that was horrible it was the first one in my video. The second one I bought was better. If it is really bad I would ask them for another
They are more grippy harder friction vs the black pads. At harder levels it increases the resistance to challenging. Black pads the friction wasn’t challenging in higher levels.
@@Nikolarasification1 it’s the same process as the black pads they are against the ball joint and the crank. But the resistance is greater in these pads . More resistance on every level you turn vs black pad. So even on low levels it’s more than the black.
Thank you for the question ! 1. These are much grippier. The surface is grippier and the puck is more dense. 2. More durable. 3. If you decompress the tool after each workout , the pads might last even longer .
Super Bison has more variety but the pink pads bring the tornado up a few notches. I like the handles and the pink pads are significantly cheaper than bison pads

I honestly don’t know I’m guessing it may vary I’m going to go out on a limb daily use probably 6 months
@@mrqualityreviewer4752 Thanks!
@@dammitjim9131 No problem thanks for watching
@@mrqualityreviewer4752 btw ... would you mind telling me the diameter of the friction pucks when you have the time?
@@dammitjim9131 I will when I get the chance no problem
If I were to order this device via Amazon would they ship with the black or new pink pad?
Most likely the black one. That’s what I got when I received mine
If ordered from Amazon, still black for the next month or so till run out of stock.
If ordered from our site - with the pink pads (8pc) included.
@@gripzilla that is a great idea
Are those pads released to the market now?
Yes they are on the website for gripzilla. 8 pack if I’m not mistaken
Are the pads available on Amazon now or only the main site? Mine has trouble tightening it gets stuck. I don't know why
The pads are on Amazon. My original tornado had the same problem maybe you can contact Gripzilla for another unit
Got my gripzilla tornado today man🎉 4:42
@@jesserodriguez429 congrats got the pink pads? How do you like it
Kind! How are you doing? Should we expect a new review on friction trainers soon ("Bison", ...)?

Is this better than the Super Bison now?
After a while I believe that this might be better than the Bison I will make a video describing the new positives and negatives of both
Also which one is higher resistance? Black and pink or gray and pink? And what color were the old pads?
The old pads were black. The higher resistance pads are pink

What do these pads do exactly? How do they work?
They are more grippy harder friction vs the black pads. At harder levels it increases the resistance to challenging. Black pads the friction wasn’t challenging in higher levels.
@@mrqualityreviewer4752 so they fit in between the cranks somehow to scale difficulty?

Is it possible for you to buy the material (micropore) from which the pads are made and cut them yourself?
@@yauheniniafiodau1292 honestly I think it is possible but with the money they cost it isn’t really that bad
