Best selling Bike trainers
Here's a ranking of the best products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Wahoo Kickr Core
The Wahoo Fitness Kickr Core smart trainer is an ideal, whisper-quiet training partner for indoor cycling when the roads outside are icy and trails are buried under deep snow. It can connect via Ant+, Ant+ Fe-C, and Bluetooth to smartphones and other training devices, offering different resistance levels depending on the training simulation. This allows for realistic and complex road rides to be easily trained.
To make the Core compatible with as many bikes as possible, it is necessary to install a separately available cassette. This can range from 8 to 11 speeds and ensures optimal power transfer to the flywheel.
For optimal simulation, the trainer is compatible with all popular training apps, including the proprietary Wahoo Fitness app, which is available for both Android and iOS.
2. Elite Direto XR-T
The Direto XR-T is the flagship model of Elite's home trainers without a cassette. It is super precise and compatible with a wide range of bike models. The integrated OTS power meter ensures an accuracy of +/-1.5%, which is one of the strengths of the Direto XR-T, placing it at the top of Elite's home trainers with the most realistic incline simulation of up to 24%. This allows you to perform excellently even during particularly intense training sessions: you can view all your training tables at a glance, conduct tests to assess your fitness level, and complete repetitions and high-speed sprints at maximum power.
The Direto XR-T is fully interactive and communicates with all software platforms via ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth, just like all Elite trainers with direct transmission. Set up your courses or training programs with just a few clicks and start pedaling immediately. The Direto XR-T automatically adjusts the resistance and manages your training session.
The Direto XR-T is one of the most compatible home trainers, perfect for gravel, mountain, and city bikes with 130-135x5mm quick-release and 142x12mm thru-axle. This trainer features a new structure that is ideal for accommodating derailleurs with long cages, providing greater capacity for larger 12-speed cassette sets. Thus, the Direto XR-T is compatible with 9/10/11-speed Shimano and 12-speed Shimano road, 12-speed Shimano MTB (with Micro Spline freehub), 9/10/11/12-speed Campagnolo (with freehub), 12-speed SRAM NX with Shimano-compatible hub, and 12-speed SRAM (XD/XDR freehub).

7. Tacx Neo 2T Smart
The Neo 2 Smart has been equipped with an improved and faster chipset that provides smoother and more responsive control of the Neo motor. This results in a smoother indoor cycling experience and paves the way for new and immersive features. The pedal stroke analysis function can be used to improve power distribution and ride performance. For this, a capacitive left and right detection sensor has been added so that the bike trainer can measure the exact position of both legs. The usual features from the Neo Smart are still present. Like Road Feel, which lets you experience the vibrating sensation of riding on cobblestones, gravel and many other road surfaces (in Tacx Films and Zwift). And that exhilarating feeling of accelerating into a descent after reaching the top of a mountain, simulated with the Descent Simulation. Just like the Neo, it is equipped with dynamic inertia. Unlike the inertia of a flywheel, dynamic inertia compensates for weight, speed, and angle of incline, significantly improving the ride experience. With the isoconic and isotonic training modes, you train with a fixed force or speed to improve your pedal stroke. Note: The device requires a C7 cable. Cassette is not included.
