Title: Thinkrider Power Direct Drive Turbo.
Post by: Matt_C on October 27, 2020, 11:59:16 AM: I have been in the market for a cheap direct drive turbo for a while now and I decided to pull the trigger on a Thinkrider Power. I got the turbo for £200 plus £50 shipping from spain which means no added tax and hopefully faster shipping time. I struggled to find any good reviews of the product but it definitely looks pretty good. I have a magene power meter so I dont require accurate power or smart features from the trainer. The trainer has a resistance of a 5% slope and a 1500 watt max resistance so it should be ideal for some zwift races over winter.

If anyone else has experience with the trainer id love to hear your stories and if not ill keep you updated with my own!

A friend has the X7 3rd Gen and is also happy with it.
