The most advanced trainers, like the Drivo II, can boast power meter accuracy of +/- 0.5 per cent, the Suito’s margin of error is wider, at +/- 2.5 per cent. Whilst more expensive models like Elite’s Drivo II (£1200) will go to 24 per cent, you have to ask yourself how necessary this really is in the course of an average training session, or indeed to mimic your typical outdoor ride. > Wheel-on vs direct drive turbo trainers When slopes got to around 15 per cent on the 'NYC KOM' loop, I did notice a strange sensation, a little like wheel slip outdoors, but once I got the pedals churning this faded and I could push hard and maintain the pressure as the climb built up. Throwing myself into Zwift’s recreation of the Harrogate circuit at the UCI World Championships in Yorkshire, I found the ramps in elevation smooth and realistic, and there was plenty of resistance on offer there to have me breathing hard. If faced with the choice between an old style, wheel on turbo trainer with a magnetic resistance unit and a set of rollers, I would always choose the latter – but pedalling on the Elite Suito felt just as natural and quickly became my preference.Įlite says that the trainer is able to replicate slopes of 15 per cent, and has a maximum power capacity of 1,900 watts. Whilst the Elite Suito doesn’t feel quite as smooth and lifelike as the very best models, it’s still worlds apart from the feeling of wading through treacle that we all put up with on the turbo trainers of days gone by.
You’ll typically find heavier flywheels on the top end model, for example the Wahoo Kickr (£999.99) which received ‘Best on Test’ in Cycling Weekly’s last head to head has a 7.25kg flywheel. It’s the flywheel on a turbo trainer that creates the feeling of inertia and, alongside other factors, dictates the level of feedback you receive and how well it imitates the road. The turbo communicates with devices via Ant+, FE-C and Bluetooth, and I never experienced any issues with connecting to a cycling computer, phone or iPad – the trainer was picked up every time and has never dropped out, which is something of a rarity.

You get 12-months’ free use of the app’s subscription services with any Suito purchase too, though if you intend to use Zwift (for which you get one month free), The Sufferfest or Trainer Road this may be irrelevant. Įlite provides a supporting ‘myETraining’ App, which can be used to calibrate the turbo trainer, though you can also do this via your cycling computer (I used a Garmin Edge 520). Extended, they create a solid base, which was reassuring even during full-pelt sprints, but you can tuck them away and the Suito inhabits minimal floor space. The pulley system, with the latest generation of transmission belts designed by Elite, ensures that the force on the pedals is consistently transmitted to the resistance unit, so you will always make the most out of your indoor training sessions.The legs come with adjustable supports, so you can cater for a wonky floor or patio. This is because the frame has great rigidity and lateral support, so the trainer remains stable even at high speed or at maximum effort. Stable, secure and efficient frame: The trainer offers great balance and safety. Also, the wide resistance range is ideal for amateurs and pros alike. Perfectly smooth pedalling: The oversized flywheel (194mm diameter and 6.9kg in weight) rotates in silicone oil and ensures great pedalling smoothness, identical to that experienced during training or racing on the open road.
