LAST UPDATED July 3, 2024

The Eurobike show is in full swing in Frankfurt, and manufacturers are unveiling new products which will start shipping in the next few months. Today, Italy-based Elite has announced three new products: an update to their top-tier Justo smart trainer, an entirely new smart trainer model, and a new smart frame. Learn more below!

Justo 2 (Smart Trainer)

The Justo 2 is the next generation of Elite’s Justo, their top-end direct-drive smart trainer. Arriving two years after the original Justo, the Justo 2 improves on its predecessor in several ways:

Wi-Fi connectivity (2.4 GHz) with automatic firmware updates
Ships with a 12-speed cassette (original Justo did not include a cassette)
Flex Feet (two options to adjust trainer sway between 4.5° and 7°
Free 36-month subscription to Elite’s My E-Training app
Heavier flywheel (7.2kg vs Justo’s 6.2kg)

Along with these improvements, the Justo 2 sports the top-tier specs and features of the Justo, including:

Max Power: 2300W
Max Gradient: 24%
Automatic calibration
10Hz Race Mode for maximum responsiveness
Optional wired connection via Elite Gateway device
Rizer (gradient simulation) and Aria (smart fan) compatibility
Resistance control via Shimano Di2
Power Accuracy better than +/-1%
Dual-channel Bluetooth
Bluetooth bridging for heart rate monitors and cadence saves channels for Apple TV users
Pedal analysis and other features via Elite’s My E-Training app

The Justo 2 retails for $1199US/1099€ and will be available in EU stores around the end of August, arriving one month later elsewhere.

Avanti (Smart Trainer)

Elite’s Avanti is a brand-new trainer that sports many of the top-tier features of the Justo 2, but at a lower price point. Key features and specs include:

Wi-Fi connectivity (2.4 GHz) with automatic firmware updates
Max Power: 2100W
Max Gradient: 18%
Automatic calibration
10Hz Race Mode for maximum responsiveness
Optional wired connection via Elite Gateway device
Rizer (gradient simulation) and Aria (smart fan) compatibility
Resistance control via Shimano Di2

Comparing the Avanti’s specs to the Justo 2, you can see the Justo 2 has higher max power/gradient, improved power accuracy, a heavier flywheel, two sets of flex feet, and ships with a cassette. This makes the Avanti effectively the Justo 2’s little brother, priced 30% lower.

The Avanti retails for $849US/749€ and will be available in EU stores around the end of August, arriving one month later elsewhere.
