Update: I recieved my replacement from Zwift today and despite them saying they would send me a later production model, I somehow got one that is even older. Apparently a new app is coming this fall that will make firmware updates easier, as right now it’s a bit of a mess. I see the KICKR is much quieter now than it used to be. Guess I’m out 600 bucks. And in most cases, most companies decided to take a twofer approach – hitting both issue groups instead of just taking one serving. Could I get some guidance on how to know? Perhaps in some cases a 1-1.5 second delay, but I’m not sure if I’d blame that as much on Elite as on the combination of the underlying way that apps send trainers gradient information such that by time that all happens, it may be slightly behind reality. After an hour deviation goes down a bit. I notice during spin downs as well but wonder if this is a normal occurrence with direct drive trainers. There’s enough space to make it work physically, and thus people install it – do all the normal gear alignment stuff, but if you swap to a different wheel or trainer, then it goes askew. Now I want to try the direct-drive trainer. That seems like a bit of a tall tale given the tests run on the review don’t show this. The reasons are simple: A) It saves money I showed Elite all my measurements, but I only get a standard reply back that is behavior is normal (having a standard reply on an issue like this isn’t good news). Very happy with it so far. Note some trainers do come with them. Bluetooth Smart FTMS (Trainer Control): This allows apps to control the Suito over Bluetooth Smart (with cadence/power data). I have noticed that I cannot keep the top-tube of my bike stable when riding on the trainer, but when I am outside with a regular wheel, I can keep it stable. I typically buy Shimano Ultegra cassettes for my trainers (mostly for sound-testing consistency across videos), but I’ve also done a few SRAM ones and whatever else happens to be on sale from the bike shop. thanks for your feedbacks. If they didn’t include it, they wouldn’t sell as many. In the manual it says to use both spacers for 10 speed. As the title indicates I’ll be focused on their updated Direto series trainer for this post, which I have had for quite some time. I have this trainer and a fixed gear bike, and the QR that comes in the set doesn’t hold the bike strong enough. When I then go back to putting force in the pedals it works its way back up. Wanna create comparison chart graphs just like I do for GPS, heart rate, power meters and more? So what about actual power accuracy then? Like I said earlier, this thing gets untightened. For instance, today on Zwift, the gradient increased to 15% and the resistance from the trainer became very high. First, it's got wheel locks (so the darn thing stays put), and second, it has two water bottle holders (also useful for putting other things like remotes). The should decrease the power of the suito by 10 Watts. (See one of my previous comments.) Thanks. The end result may depend also on other factors, so it might work for me and not for someone else. Inclusion of a cassette, and a ‘just pull it out of the box’ mantra makes a lot of sense in this ever-expanding market. Got it for £550 from Halfords with 10% more off with a British Cycling 10% Discount so just £495. anyone has tried to control diretoX with Golden Cheetah ? If you found this review useful, feel free to hit up the links at the end of the review. I tried to calibrate the Suito using the training app, it only worked once out of five times. Atop that, at the time, Elite also threw in a 30-day trial of Zwift – which then was actually unique (now, not so much). I assume the silver wheel is untrue and this is causing it to interact with the brake mechanism in a faulty manner at high resistances. This impacts inertia and how it feels – primarily when you accelerate or otherwise change acceleration (such as briefly coasting). I actually think that the ANT+ hardware is broken, all of the functions work over Bluetooth, just not ANT+. It doesn't have smartphone/ANT+/Bluetooth integration, but it does have secondary outlets. The most accepted recommendation is to use a gearing that simulate the actual terrain you would like to train on, namely flat vs hill, as the flywheel momentum can differ considerably. However, as I read this review (especially about the ERG issues) I am not sure anymore, whether it was a right decision and I’m considering to send the trainer back straight directly after I’ll get it. I sent the defective one back today. The cassette is a Shimano R7000 105 11-speed cassette. That at least is my impression from following Ray’s site for a while now. p.s as always an excellent review, thanks Ray. Almost a month with no trainer due to distance and the holiday’s. Hi, Ensure that the number of speeds matches your bike (e.g. For the ANT+ dongle option, I’m concerned that some SW (e.g. Now given the Direto X is a smart trainer, it’ll change resistance automatically in a few different ways, primarily driven by different applications/methods. Biomechanically, you are activating different muscle groups due to the vast difference in momentum. 142mm x 9mm QR is not a real axle standard. The ‘drop’ you see around the 2 minute marker is simply where I stopped pedaling a second.

ANT+ Speed/Cadence Profile: This broadcasts your speed and cadence as a standard ANT+ Speed/Cadence combo sensor I think we are seeing trainers at the top end getting better and better, and we are seeing trainers in the middle getting better too. Hopefully I will get a fast response from CT, they had the replacement Suito out the door the next day after my return. Is this unit compatible with a 12 speed cassette (SRAM Force 10-28T)? The 105 cassette from my bike has the same range as the one on the Suito and naturally it works well. Thanks for your help! They also said after I told them I’m not going through the same cluster f%^k regarding shipping that they would send one out today and I didn’t have to send the second defective one back until I get the new one. I’ve contacted Elite and got a spreadsheet with the trainer response curve. I am guessing this is something I cannot fix myself and the wheel / trainer must be replaced. I set it up anyway. Much better this time since I didn’t have to send the defective one back first. After adjusting the derailleur, the shifting is fine. Or do simple workout routines without paying a monthly fee at this point. The main ‘thing’ about the Elite Suito is the whole concept of ‘pull it out of the box, start riding’. “About power fluctuations: How do I connect it to my heart rate It gives you what amounts to a shorter gear, minimizing how much gear changes you have to do. So strange that the wheel block is included unless you are going to ride a 26″ MTB…. You probably need to go with a wheel-on trainer for your set up. Did you try to calibrate. Did my first ride on the replacement trainer yesterday. Unfortunately, in practice for the first few months of the season – it was rather variable due to initial production hardware and software issues. With the Elite Suito being $100 less (and including a cassette), it’s going to take a lot of wind out of the sails for many buyers. Sure, they're not as powerful as a Wahoo Headwind, but I could literally buy 20 of them for the same price. C) A quick-release skewer Before that I thought Wahoo is somehow able to regulate power more precisly than Elite. Can you tell how to do it, I can only find texts that there are no updates and myETraining app does not have that feature. Also note that being in the smaller chainring (up front) will help in this regard, and is exactly why TrainerRoad recommends using ERG mode in that configuration. I’d try and do it every 1-2 weeks though. It allows you to compare power meters/trainers, heart rate, cadence, speed/pace, GPS tracks and plenty more. In the UK/EU/Australia/New Zealand? Ever since I purchased my Elite Suito in December 2019 it has a tendency to make an awful screeching sound every now and again. Yes, you can pull it out of the box and start pedaling but that’s it. Elite Suito Interactive Trainer: Amazon.com.au: Sports, Fitness & Outdoors. I can not believe I have lost 400W of power in sprints…when all the other power data in race are quite similar to the kikr snap measurements-thank you! Hi, do you have any idea why I have problems fitting my boost bike with an nx eagle cassette on the trainer? Remember, a unit produced in early October doesn’t mean a unit you buy in Seattle in late October is fixed. If I would’ve known about this before purchasing, I definitely would’ve steered clear of this trainer. I followed this procedure but engaged a much higher gear to obtain a much higher speed than previously and this worked. Sincere, severe, disappointment, I wanted it to work. – power off all your devices (smartphone, tablet, pc, Garmin heart rate monitor ..) When I tried to start pedalling again, the screeching noise started and the resistance was very, very high. What I’m reading is older units could have issues but I was hoping for some positive feedback from owners of newer units. I did calibrate the unit, and am still having the issue. And I’ll dive into that a bit later on, what went wrong, what’s different now, etc…. You can click here to Subscribe without commenting, Wait a minute. Of course, on the flip side – the Direto X is more powerful, though, I’d guess that 95% of people will never need that added power. After sending in a video of the knocking, Elite/Clever Training agreed to swap out that trainer for a new one. I got a unit in September from an online retailer. But I still find it rather incredible that apparently pretty much every manufacturer of these devices throws new models on the market while there are still some pretty major issues to be sorted out. I know this sounds obvious but for some totally bizarre reason some companies still don’t include handles on their trainers. I won’t spin out while descending Radio Tower at 0% Trainer Difficulty. It’s simply that I like my front wheel to stay put. I have a Garmin 920XT Elite had redefined the pricing for that category and completely owned sales that winter. You wrote: “Though, that trainer lacks the power of the Direto X, and doesn’t include a power meter.” (for the Elite Suito) – maybe I got something wrong, but in your “hands-on” of the Suito you wrote that it has an internal power meter. Vincenzo/Emma, I have the same question as Emma, I have also an (old) bike with an 8-speed cassette. In that sense a small chainring better simulate the road feel of a hill while the big chainring a flat course; which is probably also why it feels easier with big chainring, as the high momentum of the flywheel “helps” to stay on top of the target power once we reach it.

But not always,…it is 50/50 with this device. DC Rainmaker 2019 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. However, based on what you’re saying and the variability – it almost looks like ERG mode wasn’t correctly engaged. The mentioned publication states that the drivetrain efficiency is normally between 96 and 98 % (Bild 3). So I wouldn´t bother too much.If you cannot return, try to forget about it and enjoy. With the Suito the main selling point was that the cassette was included (saving you $50-$70 in costs, depending on whether you had tools) – plus the savings in time/hassle. Direto X is better that Suito? Otherwise when training on zwift and on the grouprides/competitions it´s very good and nothing to complain about after i got the new board with the upgraded firmware, just little confusing with the erg workouts. These rollers are a beast on trainer responsiveness. Hopefully you found this review useful. Hi everyone, I am considering buying this trainer. N-series SUL. Very smooth experience. Sent the unit back 2 days ago. It’s amazing for testing trainers, responsiveness, and how they deal with quick shifts in gradient, pace, and power. Note – I’m not looking for fake data though, which is when the two precisely match. . Same feeling here. Couple of deals right now in UK. They get these at cost. F) and my garage bounces from ~58 deg to ~68 deg. I’m a software architect by trade and a tinkerer by choice. My hypothesis at this point is this – I am wondering whether the trainer warmup needs to be longer and whether I am just doing something wrong. Here I escalate quickly up to 900w (the graphs above are smoothed at 3-seconds, so it’s actually a bit higher), and the trainer and power meters stay locked on together. I do like how compact this trainer is with the legs folded in. Featuring direct transmission to ensure increased accuracy and quietness … Is the direto X is risk free? Shimmy on the handlebars. In any event, Elite’s offerings this year are largely within the ‘minor tweaks and better price points’ realm, and the Direto X seems to fit the first part of that bill. I´m trying to explain. I had been on a wahoo kikr snap for 8 months. That’s handy if you’re connecting to Zwift on an Apple TV, due to Apple TV’s two concurrent Bluetooth Smart sensor limitation (plus the Apple TV remote). Why do they recommend the small ring up front and what do you experience related to this? all that being said you can make a connection by using a PC with an ant+ stick and bluetooth back through to your appleTV, but to me this seemed like way too much work for sub-par results. In the first part of you review, you said it came with a thru axel adapter.
