Easy setup Accurate power Well-built Quiet Budget-friendly. I have been the happy owner of my Direto since March 2019, having made the upgrade from a dumb trainer. The legs do fold in - but it's pretty bulky and heavy still and I just leave it out with bike on rather than pack away. In the pantheon on smart trainers, there have been thousands of words and discussions about which is “the best” smart trainer. Set-up was not too bad, I watched some how-to Youtube video's and even with that knowledge I managed to get the legs wrong way round the first try...corrected that and it's smooth sailing ever since. Easy setup Accurate power Well-built Budget-friendly. We are two people in my household putting some serious milage on the trainer - as for that i could justify upgrading to a top level trainer like a kickr (mostly because of noise and response time) next - but for midrange: total recommendation. Gracias por tu paciencia. I don't have the legs for short sprints and high power efforts, but it's dealt admirably with my 100 kg weight and ~300 (+/-50) W riding. I had an issue with their My E Training software not being able to recognize my combination cadence/speed sensor. And it doesn’t take to much space when you want to store it. I honestly cannot see why one would need to spend more money on a trainer, unless you put out of 2000W on a sprint or you want accurate simulation for above 12-14% gradients. One last thing to note is that it can lean to the side when in a sprint so some additional weights on the legs is recommended. but after 7th km something happen and it started to work loudly, No trouble setting it up physically, but I have not yet succeeded at calibrating it. Easy setup Accurate power Well-built Helpful support. Easy setup Accurate power Realistic inertiaWell-built Helpful support Portable/storable Budget-friendly, I bought the trainer In Septemeber 2018 and after i done 7000+km on it I needed a belt replacement, trainer was still under warranty and belt was replaced for free and Elite dealer serviced the unit and replaced pulley all included. Elite customer support is quick to send a spare belt, though. The Elite Direto X is one of the easier direct-drive smart trainers to set up. Ahorra 22% - Precio listado: 899,99 $ ahora solo 699,99 $. I know some owners had belt issues, but that can easily be fixed. I say its minor as most people who would pay this kind of money for a trainer most likely already had some kind of cadence sensor on their bike. Despite the lower price the trainer provides great power accuracy, ride feel and durability (I've used every single day on average for two years), I've done almost 30,000km on the Direto, using it happily across all the online training platforms but mainly zwift. 1400w max power is plenty for most cyclists, good slope simulation, had to turn down trainer intensity setting a bit because hills were too hard with it at 100%! I haven't had any issues in the 2.5 years I've had it. - Easy installation and calibration. Next off was the belt snapping as I entered a sprint (not massive power but good enough haha). Like the Suito, the most powerful interactive roller trainer available today features a very convenient plug & play configuration, designed to provide a truly simple and direct indoor cycling experience from the first time you use it. It was a leap forward when it came out, but I'd probably get a smaller/quieter/better road feel Kickr or Neo next time, Elite Direto – 10 month review from ShakeNBake September 14, 2020 Been riding a Specialized Allez on an Elite Direto with Zwift for the past 10 months, can't fault the trainer so far. Great value trainer from Tom September 17, 2020 This is the first turbo trainer I've ever used. I am a 65kg male with an FTP of around 200, and a sprint of around 800 watts. Been riding a Specialized Allez on an Elite Direto with Zwift for the past 10 months, can't fault the trainer so far. I do have to pay attention with the automatic pairing for the Controllable Trainer by Zwift because sometimes it pairs the Direto Power Trainer instead of the FE-C Trainer. I own this trainer for 18 months and logged around 3.000 Km with it. (Did try with bluetooth but didn't work well with Zwift in this set up). I would definitely buy this trainer again, or a newer model from Elite. - Over-reads a bit (or at least my one did, by around 20watts), Elite direto smart trainer from Russ September 8, 2020 Easy setup Accurate power Realistic inertiaWell-built Portable/storable Budget-friendly, Excellent Mid-Priced Trainer from kevin.j.flamm September 8, 2020 This was my first trainer and I loved it.

The Direto XR is completely pre-assembled and equipped with a Shimano 105 (or equivalent) 11-speed cassette. Easy setup Well-built Budget-friendly. The plug can be a bit niggly to get in/out & the cord is short so need an extension which adds to the items. All in all, i would buy this trainer again, and from the reviews i've seen/read about the newer model, the reaction time has been much improved. Accurate, quiet and powerful Discover it Classic trainers Interactive rollers Rollers product_highlighted. The in-game Zwift simulation lacks nothing, except when it comes to higher gradients. The Direto XR expands Elite's selection of interactive role trainers with a model that is more powerful, more stable and more accurate than its predecessors. Can struggle in erg mode as it is not that consistent, but otherwise a good trainer. Inertia feels good although perhaps a little *too* much on the flywheel as the wattage doesn't drop to 0 as quickly as my Favero pedals Much more realistic power output and far more responsive than the wheel-on trainer. - With a change in ability within a structured training (ERG mode), a little more time is needed to reach the correct level. from LinuxForAll September 9, 2020 I have owned the original Elite Direto for 3 years. It is generally very quiet but does sometimes make a decent amount of noise at high speeds. I use my power pedals for cadence and that works great. Very good build quality although the bolts to replace the belt were a night mare to remove. from Dixy SA1 September 8, 2020 I’ve only used elite so can’t compare to any others but stepping up from the wheel on B+ was a massive jump in technology for the good. En términos de equipamiento, ¿Qué se debe considerar al comprar una e-bike? I am very happy with the trainer after a year of regular use. Turno . For example, it’ll now replicate grades of 24%. Unless you’re an elite or bigger rider, need more resistance for the steepest climbs, or need a quieter trainer, I highly recommend the Direto or its newer versions.

Eric Schlange, Webmaster Me gustaría recibir un email cuando el artículo esté disponible de nuevo. Can struggle in erg mode as it is not that consistent, but otherwise a good trainer. I have had no issues with the trainer itself after having it for about two years. Direto has been flawless from raysephton11 September 11, 2020 Just works Not really a problem for longer climbs, but if you ride Titans Cove, which goes up & down the whole time at a rapid pace, the trainer can't keep up with the constant changes in elevation, giving a strange type of disconnect between what you see on the screen and what your legs feel. So overall the trainer just works well. It was better when I put it on a solid floor - moved around a bit on the rug, but I think they all would. Pairs easily with Zwift on my MacBook Pro every time, but Elite's own myETraining software is pretty yawn-worthy (not as interactive as Zwift). Purchased this trainer in December 2018 and have since logged about 3000 km on it over two seasons. The first turbo I received got jammed in first week, think the belt had not been put on properly / come off in transit; but the Elite customer care were great in helping replace it (where the retailer were terrible!).

This is a case of a tried and tested machine that isn't the latest or quietest but just works very, very well. - The inertia of the wheel could be better. That is one of the nice things about having an elite setup I can swap out the cassette hubs while the trainers that do not have this capability, which kind of is a drawback for those die-hard Campagnola riders!!
