Turbo Trainers Selection Guide

How much movement do you want your turbo trainer to allow?

A turbo trainer that allows for some movement can make your indoor training sessions more comfortable and more enjoyable, because they mimic a realistic cycling experience more closely. Turbo trainers with a high degree of movement allow for some lateral as well as some side-to-side movement, which results in a more realistic outdoor cycling feel. Turbo trainers with an average degree of movement only allow for lateral movement. Turbo trainers without any movement don't allow for any movement to mimic a realistic, road cycling feeling.

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!
