2. Elite Direto XR-T
The Direto XR-T is the flagship model of Elite's home trainers without a cassette. It is super precise and compatible with a wide range of bike models. The integrated OTS power meter ensures an accuracy of +/-1.5%, which is one of the strengths of the Direto XR-T, placing it at the top of Elite's home trainers with the most realistic incline simulation of up to 24%. This allows you to perform excellently even during particularly intense training sessions: you can view all your training tables at a glance, conduct tests to assess your fitness level, and complete repetitions and high-speed sprints at maximum power.
The Direto XR-T is fully interactive and communicates with all software platforms via ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth, just like all Elite home trainers with direct transmission. Set up your courses or training programs with just a few clicks and start pedaling immediately. The Direto XR-T automatically adjusts the resistance and manages your workout.
The Direto XR-T is one of the most compatible home trainers, perfect for gravel, mountain, and city bikes with 130-135x5mm quick release and 142x12mm thru-axle. This trainer features a new structure that is ideal for accommodating derailleurs with long cages, providing greater capacity for larger 12-speed cassette sets. Thus, the Direto XR-T is compatible with 9/10/11-speed Shimano and 12-speed Shimano road, 12-speed Shimano MTB (with Micro Spline freehub), 9/10/11/12-speed Campagnolo (with freehub), and 12-speed SRAM NX with Shimano-compatible hub, as well as 12-speed SRAM (XD/XDR freehub).
The product is delivered without a cassette.
3. Tacx Neo 2T Smart
The Neo 2 Smart has been equipped with an improved and faster chipset that provides smoother and more responsive control of the Neo motor. This results in a smoother indoor cycling experience and paves the way for new and immersive features. The pedal stroke analysis function can be used to improve power distribution and ride performance. For this, a capacitive left and right detection sensor has been added so that the bike trainer can measure the exact position of both legs. The usual features from the Neo Smart are still present. Like Road Feel, which lets you experience the vibrating sensation of riding on cobblestones, gravel and many other road surfaces (in Tacx Films and Zwift). And that exhilarating feeling of accelerating into a descent after reaching the top of a mountain, simulated with the Descent Simulation. Just like the Neo, it is equipped with dynamic inertia. Unlike the inertia of a flywheel, dynamic inertia compensates for weight, speed, and angle of incline, significantly improving the ride experience. With the isoconic and isotonic training modes, you train with a fixed force or speed to improve your pedal stroke. Note: The device requires a C7 cable. Cassette is not included.
4. Tacx Flux S Smart T2900
The Flux S Smart has everything you want from a direct drive Smart Trainer. Reliable, accurate, quiet, powerful and it conveys a good driving feeling. This bicycle trainer is ideal as a companion for your indoor training, for many sweaty hours and for riding with your favorite apps.
5. Tacx Flux 2 Smart T2980
The Tacx Flux Smart T2980 home trainer features a compact, maintenance-free, and realistic interactive direct drive. Thanks to the fast-reacting smart electronics and a flywheel weighing 7.6 kg, even the smallest differences are immediately felt in the legs. Among all Tacx trainers, the Flux has the heaviest actual flywheel with an inertia of 32 kg. The stronger the flywheel effect, the more realistic the riding experience becomes. The Flux 2 Smart communicates via ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart and can wirelessly connect to smartphones and tablets. With the ANT+ FE-C protocol, training can be done using both Tacx apps and third-party apps like Zwift and TrainerRoad without needing to connect the Flux home trainer to another device. Additionally, training in standalone mode is also possible. If the Flux is not connected, it simply simulates a flat road.
6. Elite Qubo Fluid
The super-quiet, hydrodynamic Qubo Fluid features a resistance unit that is 100% more powerful than a conventional fluid resistance unit. This is achieved through a large flywheel fully immersed in oil, which allows for an automatic increase in resistance with rising speed, thereby providing a higher load on the braking unit. The resistance can be easily adjusted via the gear shift on the bike. The frame of the Qubo adapts directly to the weight of the cyclist, their movements, and the wheel size through the exclusive Crono circle system. Similar to riding on the road, energy is transmitted differently to the roller trainer, affecting the power output generated at the same speed. The high-quality frame is made from an innovative steel-plastic construction and is particularly stable. The increased diameter Elastogel roller (45 mm) reduces tire wear by 20%, and the noise level is lowered by 50%. The newly developed Fast-Fixing attachment mechanism allows for easy and quick installation of the rear wheel onto the home trainer in just one step. All Elite rollers are pre-assembled and extremely easy to use. Training can begin in just a few minutes. After training, the Fluid can be easily folded away. It is suitable for all wheel sizes from 20 to 29 inches.
