Smart trainer - what is it?
A home bike smart trainer is a device under the rear wheel of your bike that creates the right amount of resistance and transfers it to the pedals, creating a load for you in accordance with the training task or changes in the terrain of your chosen track. The more resistance you pedal with, the higher the power or speed.
What kind of trainers are there?
✅ Rear wheel trainer is a good option for those starting out. They have everything you need. These include such models as Elite Qubo, the Tacx Booster or the Wahoo Kickr Snap, etc.
✅ Direct-drive smart trainers are more expensive, but offer a wide range of features - they can handle more power, respond interactively to changes in track terrain, measure performance more accurately, etc. These include Tacx Flux or Tacx Neo, Wahoo Kickr Core, Elite Direto, etc.
✅ Rollers - for example, Taxc Galaxia or Elite Quick Motion. These are the most affordable but require an advanced level of bike handling.
✅ Advanced smart bikes like Wahoo Kickr Bike or Tacx Neo Bike Smart. They look like a complete indoor bike and an astronaut trainer at the same time. They offer almost unlimited possibilities for customization and training. But they also cost like space shuttle.
