FAQ’s

The RPSimulator MK2 has been designed by a former jockey with over 20 year’s race-riding experience who is now also a jockey coach, so knows and understands the challenges for reaching the ultimate goal of race riding fitness which is so difficult to achieve using regular gym equipment.

The RPS is unique in that it is small, light and foldaway by comparison to competition on today’s market. The RPS is a robust workhorse having been trialled in a tough environment and in constant use.
