The product is misleading, read before you buy.

The app and electronic controls for this device are so bad they make it almost unusable. Therefore, product claims are misleading. Carefully! On the plus side, this product is mechanically robust.

To understand this, look at other app reviews, e.g. B. those on Google Play. Here's my experience: First, there's no…

Pros
  • Compatible with almost all bikes. Bikes with a rear thru-axle require a Kinetic Traxle thru-axle adapter for use with any trainer.

Pros
  • Ant+ and Bluetooth compatible
Cons
  • Long lead time

Pros
  • Max incline: 10% | max resistance: 1800 watts @ 50 km/h
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
