Product Information

Concerning the app, for the moment I’ll run the app from my phone and do media consumption with the tablet, that should work then. ERG Mode: Setting a specific power level – i.e. 225w. In this mode, no matter what gearing you use, the trainer will simply stay at 225w (or whatever you set it to).

Priced between the cheaper Suito and top-of-the-range Drivo II, the Direto XR is an update to Elite’s Direto X direct-drive smart trainer, getting a heavier flywheel (5.1kg), an increase to the maximum simulated gradient (24%) and a higher maximum power (2,300 watts). The Saris M2 is a relatively affordable, wheel-on smart turbo trainer. Using a classic A-frame design, it weighs only 9kg, making it easy to move around, and it folds up neatly for convenient storage.Any thoughts? I cannot keep up with my real world group riders (similar strength) on zwift anymore, I’m getting dropped HARD and fast. You can trust Cycling Weekly.

Caution: use of third party power adapters not supplied by Wahoo Fitness may cause permanent damage to your trainer Probably the most helpful thing for me would be to delete all Zwift related PR (and my own physical memory!) Ride feel is good, with the stout 9kg flywheel contributing to a very realistic experience. At 21.3kg, it’s also a very solid platform, and while this does make it quite hard to move around, Saris has at least included a handle in the design, which makes things considerably easier.

The Flow Smart from Tacx strikes a great balance between connectivity and budget, allowing you to link it up to platforms like Zwift, TrainerRoad etc and enjoy the auto-changing resistance without the big price tag. As with other wheel-on smart trainers, the Flow Smart is louder and does report power with less accuracy than direct-drive models. But if you’re on a limited budget, it will still do a respectable job. I've had this for years, and use it in places where I don't have a big screen or desk, but just an iPad or tablet on my road bike bars.

Wahoo SYSTM takes a comprehensive, science-based approach to training, with a diverse workout library that includes immersive cycling, running and swimming sessions, yoga, bodyweight-based strength training and mental training.

What about smart bikes?

At this price, it’s a little disappointing that a cassette isn’t included and, at 21.5kg with no carry handle, it’s not the easiest thing to move about. Overall, however, the Neo 2T is about as good as it gets in terms of performance. The best indoor bikes offer all of the features a top-end smart trainer does, plus more, making them a perfect fit in the best Zwift setup. Once assembled, they’ll always be ready and waiting for you to jump on and start pedalling, and they’re essentially maintenance-free too. With its 6.7kg flywheel, it has a good ride feel, but there is a ceiling of 1,500 watts power and just 10 per cent simulated gradients, which might occasionally be limiting for stronger riders in comparison to other trainers. Note: the Wahoo Fitness app (required for important firmware updates) is only available on iOS and Android mobile devices. If you’re really dedicated to indoor cycling, there is another tier of smart cycling device available; the smart bike.
