Fine smart trainer.
Setup and installation is easy. The housing was more flexible than the tacx. Connecting via Bluetooth or Ant+ pretty easy. The included shims make it easy to mount my 10s cassette and run properly.

Best for features in this price range
The product arrived at my home after only two days, I was amazed! Once you open the package in less than ten minutes you can already start pedaling.I can't compare with other rollers but it seems pretty quiet. It also has a front wheel lock included in the package. Trying it on Zwift I appreciated the speed with which it changes effort intensity as the gradient changes, practically immediate, as if you were on the road. I can only be highly satisfied with it

Probably the Smart roller with the best price/quality ratio
Easy to fit and complete with all adapters to use on virtually all recent racing bikes. The 105 11s sprocket set also works with my campagnolo record 11s rear derailleur. Clearly if you want to fit a campagnolo sprocket set you need the body. As soon as it was connected to the light it automatically connected to Zwift and from then on your attention is only directed to the screen because once you get on the Direto XR saddle you forget about it. Placed on a 0.6mm mat vibration and noise are almost reduced to zero, only the noise of the chain and any shifting remains. Shipping was very quick and the packaging was excellent. Fully satisfied.

Very good, stable device
A good, stable and very precise home trainer. Should be installed on a carpet to avoid transmitting vibrations to a wooden floor.

No point of comparison and only about ten hours of use, but for now, O
Overall, a really good home trainer. I'd like to be able to compare it with others, but overall I'm satisfied.

Connected home trainer
The home trainer works perfectly. It takes a good hour to set up, but especially to connect your PC. It's better to connect to a PC using ANT+ rather than Bluetooth, which is much less stable (you'll need a USB key for the PC). With a bit of training in pedalling fluidity, in order to develop linear power, zwift or rouvy (or others) will accompany you on all your training sessions and virtual outings. Reaction to the 'stress of the terrain' takes place with a lag of one or 2 seconds, but that's quite acceptable. The power measured is very close to reality (around 1%) if a calibration is carried out every 2 or 3 training sessions (to be done with the Elite software). In short, a top-notch home trainer for perfecting your fitness during the winter months!

Flawless home trainer
As easy to install as it is to store. Connects simply and instantly : - iPhone, iPad and Mac via Bluetooth for use with Zwift or other applications, - Garmin Fenix connected watch or Garmin heart rate monitor. You can then use all the programmes offered by Zwift or Garmin.

Excellent!
First of all, congratulations to Mantel. They are very precise about the restocking date, so don't delay when stock is available, as this home trainer is very much in demand. I was on the lookout for it and it was delivered within 48 hours. Absolutely incredible responsiveness, congratulations Mantel. As far as the home trainer is concerned, it's pretty responsive when the profile goes up, and you can also feel the drafting effect. I haven't yet tested it in training mode with targeted watts. I've also noticed that it's fairly quiet. On the downside, I don't find it very stable laterally. From 450w upwards, if you wiggle a bit, it wobbles quite a bit.

Very good home trainer
Well designed, virtually plug and play because it's so easy to install. Beautiful finish. Very satisfying pedalling feel. The only thing missing is a downhill simulation function. Otherwise, nothing to complain about!

Very good equipment. Very smooth, fluid pedalling.
Lame associated application. Unintuitive and useless. Shame at the price of the device. Pedal stroke analysis is apparently not free! It's mind-boggling how much you can expect to pay for the equipment!

Excellent roller
Device that gives you a real pedalling sensation I recommend it
5 / 5
perfect I would say
An excellent product for those who really love cycling. It gives you the possibility to train at home, on your own bike and is perfect especially for those with little time. Quiet, it pushes you beyond your limits. Combined then with the specific online platforms for training or racing, you get the chance to really feel like you are competing with others. I recommend it to everyone, even those who think they should get a spinning bike instead for training. The comparison doesn't hold up.

The ideal training machine
For me a very good investment, easy to install and use, integrated power sensor, cassette supplied, front wheel support and several codes for application trial periods.

Excellent Home trainer
5 / 5
ergonomic.
Smooth and pleasant to pedal. However, above a 15% gradient, you can feel the 'slippage'. Otherwise, you need to remember to calibrate the machine, and the Etraining software package is not up to the quality of this home trainer.

Excellent product
Meets expectations. Very good quality product, very well packaged. Works very well with Zwift. However, there are virtually no instructions supplied (and they're not very clear), so it's complicated to fit if you're not used to it.

Perfectly compliant
Very much in line with my expectations. The product was packaged correctly and the delivery time was respected.

Discovery
I am discovering that one can train well even with little time for someone who, like me, had given up for several years
