Snapped one of these up from Halfords before lockdown 2 and have been mostly happy with the trainer so far. occasionally the machine will lose connection to Zwift and need a powercycle, but a replacement board from the very helpful support team should resolve the issue.
Elite Novo Smart from Hugh Hass November 17, 2020Â
I was lucky enough to snap this trainer up during the start of the COVID-19 crisis in UK, when indoor gym equipment, and Smart Turbo Trainers in particular, were scarce. I own a Cube Hybrid MTB (2017 model) and the setup was straight forward. My only additional expense was a slick tyre to reduce the noise. Zwift setup is easy, it responds to changes in gradient and has sufficient power output to make you work. It would have got 5 stars as the only criticism I have is the lack of clear calibration instructions Excellent starter Smart Trainer from DaZwift September 26, 2020Â
Good smart trainer from Yesitsme07 September 9, 2020Â
Easy setup Portable/storable Quiet Budget-friendly
Works fine on other platforms but not Zwift Sorry to disappoint.
Not ideal for Zwift from Dixy SA1 September 8, 2020Â
Couldn’t get enough resistance using computer with ANT+.
Although this was a while ago and software may have been updated but was my reason to upgrade to direct drive.
Basic wheel on turbo trainer. Easy to use and Elites customer support is great. It’s very nosey though especially under high load due to wheel on type trainer. Good entry level trainer Elite Novo from Stu September 8, 2020Â
