According to the product specialist
Pros
The Saris H3 direct drive bike trainer is absolutely one of the best performing trainers with a maximum slope of 20%. |
This bike trainer is very quiet, producing a noise of only 59 decibels at 32 km/hour. |
The impressive 9 kg flywheel provides realistic resistance, even at low speeds during climbs, for instance. |
The H3 can be connected with all the popular training apps and comes with a free one month Zwift trial subscription. |
The H3 has the same specifications as Tacx’ and Wahoo’s top level trainers, at quite an interesting price! |
The resistance can be set by software for a very realistic cycling experience. |
With a maximum resistance of 1800 watts, the KICKR Core can simulate a slope of up to 16%. |
The Bluetooth Smart 4.0, ANT+ and ANT+ FE-C connectivity enables you to easily connect the trainer with other devices and training software. |
Among the most quiet turbo trainer in the collection. |
This trainer is compatible with 142/148 x 12 thru-axle as standard but also comes with QR adapters, making it suitable the majority mountain bikes and road bikes. |
The integrated power meter has a accuracy of 2.5 percent for very accurate training data. |
With a maximum resistance capacity of 2000 Watt, the Flux 2 can simulate a gradient of up to 16%. |
Easy to connect to devices, applications and other software using ANT+, ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth signal. |
Cons
The trainer does not come with a cassette. |
The cassette is not included as standard. |
The body is designed to fit Shimano and SRAM 8-11 speed cassettes as standard. Campagnolo, SRAM XD/XD-R and Shimano Micro Spline cassettes require an additional body. |
The cassette isn't included. |
The trainer is delivered with an EU plug. An adapter is needed in the UK. |
