Turbo Trainers Selection Guide

Would you like to train using Zwift or other training software?

Using Zwift or other software makes your training sessions more interactive and makes it easier to stay motivated. You'll virtually cycle through challenging environments, race with other cyclists and follow personalised training schedules, which improves your performance. If you train without software, you won't have these advantages and you'll have to rely on yourself for motivation and variation in your training sessions.

What types of turbo trainers are there?

There are many different types of turbo trainers. For beginners, there are the bike rollers and the basic turbo trainers. These trainers cannot be linked to a digital programme, but you can simply train indoors with them. You also often use these turbo trainers with both wheels still in your bike. You also have smart trainers that you can link to all kinds of trainer software, such as Zwift. So you can get even more out of your workouts!

What is a direct drive trainer?

A direct drive turbo trainer is a trainer that is much more precise and where you hang your bike without a rear wheel. You can link a direct drive turbo trainer to all kinds of training software programmes. In addition, direct drive trainers can simulate a much higher gradient. This way, it's like cycling up the Alpe d'Huez for real! This makes training with a turbo trainer even more challenging.

What is a smart bike?

A smart bike gives you the most realistic and comfortable way to train indoors. You don't need your own road bike for this. Smart bikes are very quiet and they can simulate very high inclines. Of course, you can also link a smart bike to Zwift. If you're really looking for the ultimate in turbo trainers, a smart bike is for you!

What else do I need to use a turbo trainer?

It depends a bit on the kind of turbo trainer you have which kind of accessories you need. You can read exactly what you need for which turbo trainers in this blog!
