Many of us are now using indoor trainers all year round but when you cant get out due to daylight or poor weather they really come into their own. Apps such as Rouvy and Zwift that can be used with a smart trainer have transformed indoor training making it competitive and fun. There are some great new smart trainers on the market from Elite (Rivo) and Wahoo (KICKR Core 2) this year from under \u00a3500. Check out our range of indoor trainers and accessories and get yourself set up for riding and training this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to test ride a smart trainer using Zwift or Rouvy call in to the store and have a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the price of Smart Trainers have continued to come down there is little demand for the simple wheel on trainers, however they are great value and we still have 2 available, the Novo Force from Elite at \u00a3149<\/a> and the Mag Ride 40 from Minoura at \u00a3134<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zwift Cog simplifies setup and ensures broad compatibility with 8 to 12-speed bikes, with no derailleur adjustment needed. The Cog is removable, allowing you to install a standard 9 to 12-speed cassette and use the trainer with all other apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zwift Click, which mounts to any handlebar, lets you control resistance and shift through 24 virtual gears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rollers are still popular but the big growth has been seen in Smart Bikes (or Smart Frames) such as the Elite Square<\/a> which enables multiple people to train using there preferred sizing and gear set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
