Smart trainer

[Ludo]

What are you guys using?

I have seen some in Ali, discussed here, I saw some on market place too, but really unsure what to get. Looking at something to keep me going during the winter months but I don't want to break the bank for it...

Any must avoid or recommendations? Admittedly I have doing much research on the topic yet...

you can do a cheap elite trainer. They are ok for a few years at best.

I used a Xplova Noza S.

Now I am a happy user of Thinkrider X7 Pro Gen4. Not too much use at the moment, let's see how it goes this next winter!

I would recommend waiting few months for the new Jet Black Victory smart trainer. For 399$ you get everything you would need from a smart trainer. Its the same company that made the zwift smart trainer so you should expect at least the same quality as that and it seems like its a good product.

User of two Tacx Flux-S here, many used on the market for a decent price.
They may need some belt maintenance once in a while but you can find a lot of information in a Facebook group and parts are easy to get.
Mine is now over 5 years old and still going strong.

In my opinion not worth getting something unproven from AliX, due to the weight the shipment will cost you and arm and a leg...

Thanks all for your feedback, I'll look for recommended stuff on marketplace locally.
