We buy or borrow, ride for weeks, and score on accuracy, noise, road feel and app support — not on who sent us the free unit.

Independently rated 'best overall' by BikeRadar in 2026 — quiet (65dB), easy setup, and data accuracy that beats its price point. Comes with a Zwift Cog.

One of the cheapest direct-drive trainers on the market, and BikeRadar's quietest tested trainer at 58dB. Includes Zwift Cog and Click shifter plus a Zwift subscription trial.

More than double the D100's power ceiling (1500W vs 600W), noticeably lighter at 13.6kg, and still comes with the Zwift Cog and Click shifter — all at a price that undercuts Wahoo, JetBlack, and Elite's comparable trainers by €50-150.

A 2,500W max power and 20% gradient for well under premium-trainer prices — an unusually generous spec sheet for the cost.

One of the cheapest direct-drive trainers available, with a built-in carry handle and a ride feel that punches above its price.
