Eurobike 2025 kicks off today in Frankfurt, and if it’s anything like past years we’ll be seeing announcements of new products in the indoor training space.
Elite was the first to get the word out with something new: a brand-new budget-friendly direct drive smart trainer named the Rivo. Elite also announced Zwift Ready versions of two trainers. See all the details below…
Rivo
The Rivo is Elite’s most affordable direct-drive trainer, replacing the compact, simple, and affordable Suito released in 2019.
(The name Rivo comes from the Venetian dialect and means “to reach a destination.” Elite says this is a clear reference to its purpose: helping athletes move, step by step, toward their goals.)
Rivo Smart Trainer Specifications:
- Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and Bluetooth connectivity, with automatic firmware updates over Wi-Fi
- Max Power: 2100W
- Max Gradient: 18%
- Power Accuracy: +/-2.5%
- Calibration required
- Rizer (gradient simulation) and Aria (smart fan) compatibility
- Dual-channel Bluetooth
- Bluetooth bridging for heart rate monitors and cadence saves channels for Apple TV users
- 3.5kg flywheel
- No cassette included
- Retail price: €499
The Rivo’s price and specs closely match the Suito’s, with a couple of exceptions:
- The Rivo doesn’t include ANT+ support (the Suito does), but does have WiFi connectivity (the Suito does not). I’d take that trade any day.
- The Rivo has slightly higher max power (2100W vs 1900W) and max incline (18% vs 15%).

Rivo with Zwift Cog and Click
The new Rivo is also available in a Zwift Ready model with the Zwift Cog pre-installed and Zwift Click shifter included. Apart from the pre-installed Zwift Cog and included Click, the trainer itself is identical to the standard Rivo.
The Rivo with Zwift Cog and Click retails for €519.

Avanti with Zwift Cog and Click
Elite launched the Avanti at last year’s Eurobike, and now one year later they’re announcing a Zwift Ready version of the trainer.
The Avanti sports specs comparable to top-tier trainers, but at a midrange price point below Elite’s premium Justo 2 and competitors like Wahoo’s KICKR v6 and Tacx NEO 2T.
Avanti with Zwift Cog and Click Specifications:
- Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and Bluetooth connectivity, with automatic firmware updates over Wi-Fi
- 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
- Power Accuracy: +/-1%
- Dual-channel Bluetooth
- Bluetooth bridging for heart rate monitors and cadence saves channels for Apple TV users
- 4kg flywheel
- Black flex feet for 4.5° sway
- Zwift Cog installed and Zwift Click included
- Integrated drawer for adapters
- Pedal analysis and other features via Elite’s My E-Training app
- Retail price: €669
