ThinkRider X2 Max opinions and advice?

[FrancescoVigo]

Hi everyone,

I'm considering buying a ThinkRider X2 Max direct-drive trainer and would appreciate some feedback from anyone who actually owns one.

I'd like to switch to a trainer with magnetic resistance for indoor training. I found the X2 Max on AliExpress for around €291

and I'm thinking of waiting until Black Friday to see whether the price drops further.

How has it been in everyday use? I'm particularly interested, noise and long-term reliability. Have you had any issues with connectivity or software compatibility?

Would you buy it again, or would you recommend spending a bit more on something else?

Thanks!

I believe there is a whole thread about this trainer, might be worth checking.

Thanks a lot! I'll definitely check it out. And thanks for sharing the Geoid VE200 in the other thread too. I'm now considering that one as well!

I had a looked at that one last year and ended up getting the cycplus r200 and super happy with it.
