Reviews over the

Elite Avanti

Excellent product, and very quick delivery, arrived one day before expected.

Pros & Cons

The Elite Avanti has a very high quality finish. Thanks to its adapters, it is ready for use with different bikes. The connectivity with BT, Ant+ and WiFi makes it absolutely versatile. The integration into Zwift went smoothly.

Coupled with a Zwift cog and click v2, I had to contact Elite's support team to get them to send me the correct update. Now everything works, but I often lose direct connection with the PC. To remedy this, I connect with Companion

Product conforms to my expectations at the cheapest price of all online sales sites, very fast delivery. Quick response to questions by email. I recommend the product and the site. Thank you Mantel!

Frankly, I'm very disappointed. The product looks good on paper, but the reality is quite different. The brand's software is not at all intuitive, you wonder if anyone has really thought this through! It's impossible to configure the power sensor, whereas the cadence meter can.... You have to download a 2nd piece of software to connect the wifi and potentially upgrade the firmware... crazy.

In my opinion, a top device for a mid-range price.

Does what it should

Pros & Cons

The elite update still does not allow the zwift click to work with the aventi home trainer on 05/10/25

Even for someone with limited computer skills, easy to install trainer. Did a few rides on it and am just satisfied. The app with downloaded rides does well and the cost of it is a lot friendlier than the cost of the other popular platforms.

The Smarttrainer is very light and can be stowed away small if you don't have the space to leave it set up all the time. The trainer is also very quiet. You can only hear the belt very quietly at the highest setting, but this is negligible (the chain is louder ;-) ). In use, the trainer works very quickly and accurately. The connection with Bluetooth and WLan as well as ANT+ is established very quickly. It can be used equally well with a smartphone or laptop, depending on what you need. I also really like the design, which honestly also influenced my purchase decision. The only point I would like to make is that I had to make a small repair in consultation with customer service. The setting of the magnet was incorrect and it rubbed against the flywheel. This initially caused loud noises during training - which also bothered me a lot at first. But now everything is fixed and I am completely satisfied with the Smarttrainer.

After several weeks of intensive use, I'm really pleased with my Elite Avanti home trainer. The build quality is top-notch, and the user experience is really top-notch, despite the manufacturer's application falling a little short of the competition. Installation is quick and easy, and stability is excellent, even when sprinting. The resistance is progressive and fluid, giving you a feeling very similar to road cycling. An important point about noise: at high speeds (40-50 km/h), you may notice a slight puffing noise, but it's very minimal. In fact, 99% of the noise during use comes from the cassette and chain, which is normal for a home trainer. The overall noise level is therefore very acceptable, I use it in a flat and I haven't had any complaints yet, so it must be OK. This home trainer is an excellent investment for anyone looking for a reliable, high-performance home trainer without breaking the bank.

This home trainer is great for working your legs in bad weather. It's easy to connect to zwift and the Garmin computer. It does make some noise, but that's mainly due to the cassette.

quick in piloting, it is immediately recognised by simulation apps

The perfect home trainer for my daily use. Quiet in the flat, efficient and responsive, it simulates slopes perfectly. I use Rouvy and I'm fully satisfied after 10 days of use. The connection to the WIFI network at home is very practical. On the other hand, it's a shame to have to buy the extra soft red feet because they really add value when pedalling (hence my 4 stars). It's also a shame that it doesn't come with a cassette like its big brother Justo2 (but we all have one at home after all!). Thank you Elite and above all thank you Mantel for the unbeatable price!
