Smart wheel-on trainers are, as their name suggests, smart. Their resistance can therefore be controlled by software and work in perfect harmony with your Zwift experience.

It is because it is pretty convenient to carry it around. A roller is a portable trainer that can adjust in your car. Spin In Silence: Smooth, seamless design and noise reduction resistance wheel mean you there’s no need to amp up the volume when you build up the burn (Note: The noise is mainly related to the materials and tread of bike tires.

OPTIMIZED FLYWHEEL TECHNOLOGY - SNAP's 10.5 LB flywheel provides riders with the precise inertia needed to recreate an outdoor ride feel while riding indoors. Smart trainers can easily connect with a training program such as Zwift and give you a virtual cycling experience. These units use an ANT+ connection or Bluetooth to do this job. So this is a great resistance trainer for people who just want to get on with it, and who don’t want to spend a lot of money on indoor resistance cycle training, but who want something that will allow them to progress for some time. SIMULATING OUTDOOR RIDING: The fluid-impelled flywheel mechanism ensures that the riding provided by fluid trainer feels more like a road. The speed of riding affects the temperature of the internal fluid, different temperatures correspond to different resistance to meet your different resistance needs.

All wheel-on trainers are pretty cheap and quite common among home users. However, they are far less potent than a direct drive turbo and fail to offer a realistic feel when riding. However, this method will still rely on the basic resistance of your trainer, rather than having your trainer respond to in-game gradient changes. The downside is that there will be a delay between power output and your in-game avatar's response.This isn't too problematic for long steady efforts, but for sprint workouts or Zwift races, a 'smart' trainer or power meter will offer a smoother in-game experience.In terms of performance, you will hear a little bit of a hum when you first start cycling, but once the machinery warms up, it is almost silent and delivers close to perfect performance. When you ride first time on these rollers, it requires some concentration. Get used to them and trying not to fall off! You can put a chair on either side of the roller so that you have something to hold on to while you get used to balancing while riding. Once started, you’ll be paddling normally within 10 minutes. It is a fact that your bike isn’t fixed and you continuously need to concentrate on your balance. The device also comes pre-assembled, requiring no effort on your part, and can be used easily. Just fold it away when not in use, or fold it out when you want to exercise. Operation: This low-noise magnetic turbo creates a quiet exercise environment for you. Please note that the noise/friction sound comes from the friction between the wheels and the trainer. Our bike turbo trainer itself doesn’t contain any noise-causing parts.

However, if you are looking for a silent unit, there is no alternative to a direct-drive trainer. It works best if you live in a shared UK flat or with a family of many members.
