Elite Avanti Direct Drive Turbo Trainer

The Elite Avanti Direct Drive Bike trainer is a first-rate product for anyone who wants to have serious indoor training sessions. This modern direct drive trainer provides advanced functionalities and long-term cycling fun for any cyclist.

Robust and compact design
The Elite Avanti has a clever, compact design that's both stable and user friendly. The robust, collapsible feet keep this trainer standing sturdily, and make sure you can easily store this trainer after use. Plus, the Avanti has a handy grip, making it easy to move. An integrated storage compartment ensures all necessary adapters are within arm's reach. To top it all off, the Elite Avanti has been produced sustainably: 50% of the used material is recycled plastic, and the design is optimised to reduce the amount of materials necessary.

Exceptional precision
The integrated Optical Torque Sensor (OTS) allows the Elite Avanti to measure your power output in an incredibly precise way. This sensor immediately measures the power you put on the pedals, with a margin of error of less than 1.0%.

Increased ease of use
The Avanti has an "Easy Start" function, that helps you start up smoothly after a break. When you stop pedalling, this function lowers the resistance of the flywheel, giving you a few seconds to get up to speed before continuing at your normal pace.

Realistic gradient simulations
The Elite Avanti realistically mimics gradients up to an impressive 18%. The trainer is also compatible with the Elite Rizer incline simulator, so you can simulate even the most challenging climbs.

Automatic calibration
Automatic calibration is another useful feature of the Avanti, which happens at the most opportune moments. This saves you the trouble of manual calibration and makes sure the trainer is always finetuned.

Elite Flex Feet
The Avanti comes with rubber Elite Flex Feet, which allow the trainer to simulate a realistic riding experience. These feet provide 4.5º or 7º of lateral movement, which results in a more realistic cycling feel.

Wireless and whisper-quiet
The Avanti comes with two "Stand-Alone" modes, which means you can use the trainer without power or software. That means you can bring the trainer to competitions, or use it at locations without power supply. When the trainer is connected to a power supply but not to software, you can use the My E-Training app to adjust the simulated gradient from 0 to 18%. You can also manually set the trainer's resistance from level 1 to 16 when it's not connected to a power supply. Plus, the trainer is so quiet that you'll only hear the sound of your chain when you shift gears. Ideal for both you and others around you.

Interactive training
Easily pair the Avanti with various devices via ANT+, Bluetooth and WiFi. That means you can pair the trainer with your phone, laptop, tv, tablet and other software. You can even pair it with two Bluetooth devices thanks to the Dual Bluetooth functionality. The WiFi connection is stable, and enables you to pair the trainer with multiple sensors. Plus, the trainer is compatible with various popular apps like Zwift, TrainerRoad, Kinomap, Bkool and Rouvy. The Elite Avanti also comes with 36 months of free access to the Elite My E-Training app.

ERG mode and advanced power stabilisation
Power fluctuations are minimised by improved brake control and an optimised algorithm.

Automatic calibration
Internal power sensor for automatic calibration during training.

Elite flexible stand
The Avanti comes with flexible feet, designed to optimise the efficiency of your pedal strokes with 4.5 degrees of lateral movement. If you'd prefer an even more comfortable cycling experience, you can purchase the red Flex feet separately. These feet provide 7° of movement.

This trainer connects to your home network for a quick connection, smooth data transfer and unparalleled stability for every training. Firmware updates are performed automatically.

To protect the floor and to reduce the Avanti's noise, we recommend using a turbo trainer mat.

We also recommend using a turbo trainer fan because you may get quite hot when exercising on an indoor trainer.

What do I need to get started with my new Elite Avanti?
First of all, you'll need a cassette. Make sure this cassette has the same gears and gear ratio as your current cassette, so you'll be able to easily transfer your bike. An 11-28T and 11-speed, for example. You can find this information on your cassette. You'll need a cassette removal tool to install and uninstall your cassette. You can find these here.
