With more power, faster response and more performance, the third generation Direto pushes the limits of what can be expected of a trainer at this price point. A further refined and upgraded drive unit gives the Elite Direto XR the capacity to faithfully replicate inclines of up to 24% and the ability to produce over 3,600 Watts of resistance at 60kph. Accurate and Realistic Cycling Feel Home Trainer Elite's unique and proven OTS (Optical Torque Sensor) technology has allowed precision to a point where Elite can now have the Direto-XR independently certified to a class-leading 1.5% power accuracy. Plus, its oversized gearing wheel increases flywheel RPM's, generating a smoother, more realistic feel. The Elite Direto XR is the only modern home trainer in the world to measure your power output via an integrated power meter. That's why it sets itself apart as one of the most accurate home trainers on the market. Stable, Compact and Easy to Store Compact and easy to carry when folded but super stable once set up, the Elite Direto XR’s extra wide feet are adjustable to allow rock-solid performance on uneven surfaces. Also, the body of the trainer has been tweaked to make it compatible with the bulkier rear derailleurs often used with 1x drivetrains. Interactive and Versatile Smart Home Trainer This interactive home trainer automatically varies resistance during your training. With an upgraded and bigger flywheel, the Elite Direto XR is able to simulate up to an incredible 24% slope gradient – 10% more than what the original Direto could do and plus 6% more than the Direto X. This unprecedented power level ensures excellent performances even during particularly intense training sessions - you'll be able the check out all your training charts at a glance, conduct tests to evaluate your fitness level, do reps and high-speed sprints at max power. Any type of training you want is available to you riding on the Elite Direto XR. ANT+ and Bluetooth Cycle App Compatible Featuring the new generation of ANT+™ FE-C & Bluetooth interactive connectivity, this home trainer is compatible with any kind of app, software, computer and device (smartphones and tablets) that support iOS, Android, OSX and Windows. Set your course or training programs with a few clicks and start pedalling right away and this trainer will automatically adjust resistance and manage your training session. Elite E-Training 12-month Free Subscription Included Elite Direto XR can be managed via the My E-Training software & app (12-month free subscription included) or other indoor cycling services, such as Zwift, TrainerRoad, The Sufferfest, Bkool, Kinomap and many more.
If you are looking to enter into the world of indoor training or to upgrade your ‘dumb-trainer’ to a smart direct-drive trainer, then Elite’s Direto-XR T is an excellent option. Sitting just below Elite’s top-of-the-range model, this is a mid- to upper-tier trainer that offers a respectably smooth ride feel and accurate power data, at a competitive price point. All in all, it’s a trainer that’s hard to beat. Accurate Power, Smooth Ride Feel Unlike most trainers on the market, Elite have integrated a power meter to measure power data. This, combined with the company’s proprietary OTS (Optical Torque Sensor) technology, has enabled the company to reach an independently certified accuracy of 1.5%. To counter the problem of a heavy unrealistic ride feel, common in early and cheaper indoor trainers, Elite uses an oversized gearing wheel to increase the RPM of the flywheel. In do so, this trainer offers a smooth and more realistic feel. Making it that much tolerable to wile away the hours indoors. For the third generation, the makers have upgraded the drive unit to give the XR the ability to simulate a leg-destroying 24% gradient and produce over 3600 watts of resistance at 60kph. Being more than enough for the likes of Nairo Quintana or Chris Hoy, we’re confident it’ll handle whatever you throw at it! Set the trainer to erg mode, while training or racing indoors, and it’ll automatically adjust the power and gradients, depending on your current need; leaving you free to let your mind wander. Stable, Compact and Easy to Store The wide feet used on the Direto make it stable when putting down the power, but they also fold away making the unit easy to store. The feet can also be adjusted to ensure you aren’t rocking about on unstable surfaces. Compatibility, Connectivity, And Set-Up To get going, simply take the indoor trainer out of the box, flip out the legs, attach the cassette of your choice, and it’s good to go. The Direto XR-T comes pre-installed with a Shimano HG11 freehub body, adaptors for 130mm and 135mm QR axles, and 142x12mm thru-axles. This should cover set-up for the majority of people. For this latest version, the company have also adapted the body of the trainer in order to accommodate bigger rear derailleurs used for 1x drivetrains. As you’d expect from a modern smart trainer, the latest generation of ANT+™ FE-C and Bluetooth connectivity are incorporated, meaning it’s compatible with pretty much any cycling app or software, computer, smartphone, or tablet you’d care to name, and it supports iOS, Android, OSX and Windows. Once connected, log yourself into your chosen platform, choose a workout or race, and the trainer will adjust resistance as required. If you are looking to inject more method to your training — or perhaps more madness in the form of indoor racing — with the interactivity provided all you need do is pedal and the trainer will take care of the rest. Additionally, the Direto can be managed via the company’s My E-Training software and app (a 12-month free subscription is included).
