It's not "easier" as such, just less unpleasant as due to the much higher interia (well actually kinetic energy) it feels much more like riding on the road than the typical "riding through treacle" turbo feeling.

The flywheel air resistance creates really good inertia. Search TTforum or google, been discussed in detail.
It gives a good road feel intertia. It's not quite road, but is good. So the muscle recruitment is near it would be on road.
I love mine. Works for me. And improvements on Turbo give me improvements on road. If I keep doing some efforts on road, so my muscles stay used to variable terrain and the torque change.

Really enjoying the Lemond - did a 3x15 session - so around 1.5hrs with warm up/rest intervals. No problems, normally it is a real struggle to carry on for more than 45-50mins.
