Six of the best smart trainers from Wahoo, Elite, Bkool, Tacx and CycleOps
Indoor training has been revolutionised by the introduction of smart trainers, with integrated power meters and the ability to provide controlled resistance via a computer or smartphone, making indoor training much more productive and accurate. In this video, we've rounded up six of the best smart trainers that we've reviewed here at road.cc.
The video includes the following six trainers:
CycleOps Hammer
Wahoo Kickr
Tacx Neo Smart T2800
Tacx Flux Smart Trainer
Elite Direto Trainer
Bkool Smart Go Trainer
If you're in the market for an indoor trainer, it's highly likely you want to use one of the popular apps like Sufferfest, TrainerRoad or Zwift. If you want to know more about Zwift check out our introduction video series here.
David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.
