Reviews over the

Elite Suito-T

Owned it for several weeks now and really like it. Quick and easy to use via the Elite app, but also connects directly to Zwift via Bluetooth and ANT+ (I also bought the dongle to connect with a heart rate belt). Cassette mounting is very pleasant; also the adapters for 130 mm ++ frames fit fine and are logical. But it remains difficult for Italian manufacturers to make a readable translation in NL; I have often read the English version to understand it ;) During training the trainer responds well and decisively; for me as an amateur cyclist there is plenty of resistance - slopes of 15% within Zwift provide plenty of sweaty moments :) The trainer is very stable, you can move slightly while cycling which I like. The front wheel support does slide off a bit easily, but with a cycling mat it works fine. In my case it is in one piece; on the video on the website it consists of one part (fixed) with a rotatable upper part. The weight is manageable and folds compactly; so far very happy with my purchase!

Pros & Cons

Works as you expect, super with zwift

Pros & Cons

HT direct plug connection easy to install and connect. Super smooth pedaling. I use it either with my Garmin or with Kinomap. Top and very fast delivery!

Pros & Cons

I'm very pleased with the Elite Suito. With its carrying handle and folding feet, it's easy to store. The operation is faultless, and the feeling on the bike is very good. Mantel offered the best price with impeccable service from order to delivery.

Pros & Cons

Assembly was an easy job. Cassette removal kit necessary to secure cassette. The Elite suito is compatible with various cassettes (9-10-11 and 12 speed). Do not forget to install the included shims. Trained several times with it. Beautiful device with good settings. Download the app (myEtrainer), create an account, put the bike on the trainer and off you go. Controlled with your iPad or just with your Garmin. Both work great.

Pros & Cons

Super direct trainer. Operation is completely self-explanatory. Because of the smaller flywheel vs. other brands, it is much more responsive to changes in percentages. This makes the experience and perception much more realistic. Works perfectly for stab axles.

Pros & Cons

As I always have some difficulty getting a new device up and running, I was surprised to find that I connected it without any problems.

Pros & Cons

Already a connected HT which was top. but with the suito I'm going interactive, top +++!

Products that perfectly meet my expectations for indoor training. Quiet, compact and very precise in terms of measuring and power settings. A must-have to complete your training

Pros & Cons

Product meets my expectations, for a first home trainer connected top

Super hometrainer, good value for money

Pros & Cons

It is a product that I had long wanted to acquire, as there are many on the market. Finally after many comments in favor I opted for it being a success. The truth is that along with bkool is a toy for adults that engages a lot.lo recommend for quality / price.

Pros & Cons

Fast delivery, product packed well, works great.

Pros & Cons

After a month in possession and 300km later here is my review; The smarttrainer was delivered 1 day after ordering (top!), so I unpacked it and tested it. There is no standard cassette included so you have to buy that yourself along with a chain whip and cassette remover (will cost you about 50eur if you don't go for shimano or sram). There are spacers included if you ride with a 10 speed or less. Standard 11 speed fits on this. The trainer itself has ant+ and bluetooth and pairs easily with training apps. I usually use my garmin bike computer. If you register the trainer online you get codes for zwift and the like. You can also use the elite app (myetraining) for 1 year for free and with this you can do workouts or just increase and decrease the resistance (-15% to 15%). Personally I don't think the app is super but it does what it should. The trainer is fairly quiet and quite heavy (makes it nice and stable though), although a mat is recommended for the vibrations. All in all happy with the purchase and the price on mantle is the best I could find online!

Pros & Cons

I'm very satisfied with my Home Trainer, the effort seems very realistic as you climb the hills. Adapts easily to my bike, very stable, and connects instantly to the various software programs I use (Zwift and Bkool). Easy to transport and doesn't take up much space when folded up. Nothing to say, I recommend it!

Pros & Cons

I wanted to do this because I used to do my training on rollers, so now it's more realistic and I can use online games because I'm connected. And you can put on any tape you like.

Pros & Cons

great product, works very well, no problem to connect it in bluetooth with my mac, on the other hand I could not connect my garmin watch for the FC, this was solved with an ant+ key. Delivery was fast and trouble-free

Pros & Cons

The product exactly meets my expectations of using the simulation platform to take training to the next level.

Pros & Cons

Very good product, you quickly get into the game

Pros & Cons

Set up to use Zwift. Perfect! It recognizes the equipment straight away, and simulates the gradient in real time.

Excellent direct drive trainer! After it was delivered at home, just take it out of the box, put bike on the trainer (don't forget to mount the cassette first, you do need the right tools for this). And Zwift away, if you register the machine on Elite's site you get a code for Zwift (and others like Sufferfest) by email and can Zwift for free for 1 month. It is quiet, low weight and with a convenient handle. With the folding legs, it also takes up very little space. It also comes with a handy front wheel rest. In short, a top trainer for a (coat) top price

Pros & Cons

I wanted to get back into cycling after a few years of forced abstinence. I turned to Mantel because I found quality products at a competitive price. The order arrived the next day in perfect condition. Other orders followed with the same result.

Pros & Cons

The description corresponds perfectly to the device. No complaints

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied for quality price. Smart trainer tested with the various platforms.

Pros & Cons

Comparison of different connected home trainers before purchase (good value for money) Easy connectivity with cardio watch and Pc - smartphone

Pros & Cons

At the moment, I'm just learning how to use a connected system. It seems to give a good rendering of relief.

Pros & Cons

Great buy. For the price I can't think of anything better.... Then you'll have to go up to 750 and more to get more accurate power sensors. But the sensor is already enough to have fun with Zwift and other software!

Pros & Cons

I owned a 2016 Élite turbo muin which was much heavier, noisier and bulkier than the Suito. The Suito's interactivity is really interesting. Indeed, resistance varies according to slope percentages or in the different exercises, and in a precise way.

Pros & Cons

We had to use a spacer to fit a 7-speed cassette and it works perfectly. Very good product, fast delivery.

Pros & Cons

From carton to being up and running, it was incredibly easy and smooth to get started. Simple calibration routine.

Pros & Cons

It's a real pleasure to pedal one road in an unfamiliar country and the next day in another... It's also reassuring to be able to do it in complete safety...

Pros & Cons

Deja 1000km dessus avec zwift et toujours envie d'y retourner.....

Pros & Cons

Very easy to install and set up. Very fast PC connection. Pedaling sensations are very close to reality. Elevation changes are very realistic. Very little noise. In short, everything is perfect. This home trainer perfectly meets my expectations and complies with everything I've read about it. I highly recommend this equipment. The only drawback is the rather high price.

Pros & Cons

Ideal home trainer for Zwift. It's good value for money in terms of precision, simulated slope and maximum possible power compared to its price and other home trainers.

Pros & Cons

Good product, well thought out, reliable, meets my expectations.

Pros & Cons

I had been looking for a connected home trainer for several months. I didn't know about the Mantel site and I don't regret going through them to buy my Home Trainer Elite Suito! Fast purchase and fast delivery! If I have any other sports purchases, it will be on Mantel! Sincerely. jef

Pros & Cons

A few noises on start-up, but I'm told this is normal according to suito support. The ht is very stable and relatively quiet, but not completely silent. Otherwise, it works very well with rouvy. However, I can't comment on reliability, as some previous series have had problems. have had problems. I contacted elite support by e-mail with a question and they never replied.

Pros & Cons

Easy to use / very good rendering with the ZWIFT app / silent / don't stop riding!

Pros & Cons

Puissance et pente simulées excellentes à ce prix. Hyper stable et ... pliable ! Inutile de réfléchir comment le stocker

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

You really get the feel of the road in terms of effort. It was difficult to get started with the Elite site, and even more so with Swift, as there are no longer any cards available for a 1-month free trial.

Pros & Cons

Purchased after trying the Shift 2 months: compared to the latter, the Suito is much more compact, manageable, and externally pleasing! Perhaps the pedaling is "less rounded" as some purists claim, but the advantage of having active resistance (simulating climbs) is really valuable. On "bumpy" trails with lots of ups and downs, you will feel like you are pedaling "live," forced to use the gearbox as in reality! Moreover, while it requires a power outlet to operate (inconvenient for some locations), it has on the other hand the advantage that the internal ANT+ and Bluetooth sensors work all the time, without having to change a battery every few hours of operation. The packaging is also significantly smaller than the Shift (about 1/3, being also very thin, about 15 cm). This is not insignificant considering that such a product spends about 8 months packed, being used only in the winter "bad season"!

Pros & Cons

This is a reasonable priced smart trainer, easily set up and can be operational within minutes of taking out of box. Combined with any of the popular cycling apps at present it works and set sup quickly. Operates quietly. The only downside is that I find it not the most stable of smart trainers, there is some flex when cycling particularly when increasing the tempo or power. Overall its an excellent product.

Pros & Cons

I bought one of these to relieve the boredom of winter and get a fit again, thanks to this little unit there’s a chance I’ll emerge stronger from this lockdown, so I thank it! I am definitely an amateur and this is my first trainer but it’s super easy to setup, solid and connects quickly to Zwift. Job jobbed!

Really happy with the purchase works great. Sometimes I forget that I am at home!

Pros & Cons

Slight lag on zwift but nothing too bad. Great kit, easy to store and set up

Pros & Cons

Excellent value for money fast and accurate shipping mantel is the best site for bikes accurate description I did not understand how I can use the free month of zwift

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Very good HT, super practical, very quick to install and almost ready to use straight out of the box, very stable, doesn't take up much space when folded up, quiet when in use, immediately recognised by all platforms, sensors are present. In use, the pedalling is very fluid, the simulation of slopes and the adjustment of resistance is very realistic. I'm very happy with my purchase!

Pros & Cons

Bought it on the advice of a friend who's had one for a few years, it's perfect for use in confined spaces or when the weather doesn't allow you to go out. Coupled with Zwift, it makes it possible to ride with friends who are connected. I'd definitely recommend it.

Pros & Cons

Stable product. Easy and stable pairing via Bluetooth and ant+. Solid, good quality product (to be tested over time). Easy to store, takes up no space.

A good connected HT that does the job, comes complete (with K7) and takes up very little space.

Pros & Cons

Excellent roller, quick and easy installation, already fitted with sprocket pack ready for use. Stable and silent,

Pros & Cons

Fast delivery, unpack, install the app and off you go. The app is a little cumbersome and requires a lot of trial and error, but the control and training is varied and efficient.

Pros & Cons

Very good

Pros & Cons

Easy to setup. Good to have trial vouchers included. Great to have cassette installed. Simple to upgrade firmware and calibrate. Pairs nicely with Apple TV Zwift to have all sensors required under a single connection. Very happy to have got one at a time when they are incredibly hard to source! Great service and delivery from Mantel / UPS.

Pros & Cons

Good value for money. Easy to use after quick installation. Remember to use an ANT+ adapter if your PC does not have Bluetooth capability.

Super happy with the Suito, it's quiet, quick to install and the slope simulation is really effective. Go for it with your eyes closed!

Pros & Cons

A real pleasure to use, very fluid, not very noisy. The simulated climbs are very realistic.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Super quiet home trainer! Delivery in 72 hours! A site that I highly recommend! Thank you Mantel!

Pros & Cons

Following a serious bike crash, broken hip & surgery I needed an indoor winter training option. This trainer is ready out of the box. Easy to connect to smart app. Immersive indoor bike training during winter months. Highly recommend the Elite Suito.

Pros & Cons

A useful smart indoor trainer which is better than my existing wheel driven turbo trainer.

Pros & Cons

Out of the box you just choose which adapters you need for your bike (quick release or thru-axle), plug in and train. Instant connectivity, interfaces with all applications with both phone and PC. Very quiet, you will only hear the noise of the bike chain.

Pros & Cons

The perfect companion in these times of confinement

good product easy to install satisfied with my choice with both elite and mantel

Exactly what I expected

Home trainer bought to spend the winter on Zwift. Very easy to install, very simple to connect and synchronise. I've already spent dozens of hours on Zwift and there's really nothing to say. I live in a flat and it's not a problem because it's silent.

Pros & Cons

Quiet, stable and with a good feel for the gradients, this is a superb home trainer to complement your road outings.

Pros & Cons

Perfect for what I wanted. A very solid piece of kit although prone to more than the odd squeak! Easy to set up and use, links to Zwift quickly every time. A little in the pricey side but I have nothing to reference this against.

Pros & Cons

Retirement gift The person is delighted with this purchase

After reading the reviews for the elite Suito turbo trainer I decided to purchase one. When it arrived which was really quick I set it up which was quite easy and gave it a try out that evening. I have had it nearly 2 weeks and really enjoying the turbo, I definitely recommend buying one, I wasn't disappointed in my purchase.

Pros & Cons

The Elite Suito arrived quickly from Mantel. Easy to set up and sync with Zwift. Very pleased with the product.

Great value for money. Quiet and robust. More than enough for my amateur triathlon level! Very good service from mantel very fast delivery

Pros & Cons

Lovely simple set up- seamless to Zwift. Smooth and quiet. Adding new cassette easy too, as long as you buy the extra kit. Check your bikes cassette and get similar but if you are lucky you already have 11 speed which is fitted from the box. Good kit.

Pros & Cons

Beautiful, solidly designed machine that promises great training and online competition.

Pros & Cons

I read a fair few reviews before opting for the Suito and Mantel were the most competitive price I could find. Great communication and prompt delivery. The trainer itself is very straightforward to set up. My bike has a through axel and everything I needed was in the box. It does everything that I expected. I'm very pleased with the purchase. Loving Zwift. The winter doesn't look quite so long now.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Great Service, product came quickly. Will use Mantel again.

Great company it was a pleasure making business with you guys and top quality product

Pros & Cons

Was able to set the machine up quickly straight out of the box. I started the free months Zwift trial straight away using the card enclosed inside the box. For me it has been well worth the purchase cost, as it has made my indoor training sessions so much more enjoyable.

Pros & Cons

Well built, took 5 minutes to setup and connects seamlessly with my apps and wearables.

Not had long enough to make a honest opion of the Suto trainer.

My first ever interactive trainer and I love it. Have cycled up Alpe’d huez in my own front room. It really is addictive and if my legs held out more would be on it all the time

Pros & Cons

It’s so ideal to have this at home and it’s so small and discrete. Easily put away. It’s perfect, and syncs with zwift within seconds. It’s such a good buy for the price compared to other units, and it’s very well stored!

Pros & Cons

You can go wrong with the price. The trainer was easy to set up but you have to be careful when changing cassettes as the cassette freehub nut can be loose. Done quite a few sessions and the trainer does get noisy. The reason I bought this was an upgrade to my Elite muin that did not have the resistance, it's not so much as an upgrade though, if the muin had resistance I would still use the muin, as it seems tougher and less noisy, but the muin is not portable.. That saying the Suito is a reasonable bit of kit and so far these are minor complaints. If your looking for a portable smart trainer, this is a reasonable buy.

Pros & Cons

Bought this Elite Smart trainer on impulse as an upgrade to my Elite Muir which although very good did not have the resistance. Setting up was a bit of an issue for me as my bike had a 10 spd cassette. So remove the supplied 11spd and replace with the 10. Firstly I found the cassette freewheel nut had disappeared, later to be found in the removal tool as the nut was loose. Then the derailleur needed to be adjusted as the 10 spd cassette did not sit properly even with the supplied cassette washers. Eventually I gave up and re-installed the 11 spd cassette and used my other bike which luckily happens to be 11spd. After that the experience has been good, the resistance, (the original reason why I bought the Suito,) is very good and you can really feel those climbs! Apart from the set up, once you get everything working it's a good smart trainer especially for the price.

Pros & Cons

My first experience with a smart trainer and it could not have been easier as the Suito is a genuine plug and play unit. Having power, cadence and speed all via the Suito is great and no extra sensors required only Heart Rate. So far this trainer plays very well with Zwift and Rouvy. Very satisfied with this purchase and Mantel were efficient as always.

Pros & Cons

This was an impulse purchase which I’m glad I made. It’s a huge jump up from previous TACX trainer. I’d highly recommend it

Pros & Cons

The Elite main focus is to develop products with a good price and value, and It's quite noticeable that’s precisely what they’ve done with the Suito.
