Review on 🏻 Elite Direto XR: Advanced Interactive Direct Drive Smart Trainer with 11-Speed Cassette by Nathan Vaughn

I've been waiting a long time to update my terrible Kinetic from Kurt. I finally didn't wait for the deal (damn pandemic) and bought Direto. I wanted a Wahoo Kicker Core but this seemed like the best option with its higher specs including cartridge and adapters. No regret. I rode it 70 miles so it's time for a review. The device connects to my Zwift setup quickly and stably, so Kinetic doesn't work very well. While it's not as quiet as the Wahoo, it's quieter than a bicycle drivetrain, so it's a moot comparison. The ONLY weird issue I had was that the trainer adds a lot of resistance just before you start the Zwift ride, which goes away once you're "at peace". I get on my bike and ride without thinking about Direto. It's anything you want!
