Bike trainer accessories – smart upgrades for your indoor setup

Whether you’re sprinting or tackling a final climb, it all comes down to how much power you can put down. For ambitious riders, we recommend an indoor trainer with at least 1,500 watts of peak resistance.

Performance-focused training should be efficient from the start. Indoor bikes make it simple – set up, hop on and ride. Direct-drive trainers are also ready to go in just a few simple steps.

Interval sessions and hill workouts are guaranteed to work up a sweat. Fans, breathable indoor cycling clothing and well-ventilated cycling shoes help keep you cool while you train.

For virtual Zwift rides with friends, your trainer, accessories and smartphone should connect via Bluetooth and ANT+. We also recommend a compatible smart TV for a more immersive training experience.

Electric motor brakes use moving magnets and a metal flywheel to simulate the route. When the road heads uphill in your app, the resistance automatically increases.

App compatibility brings platforms like Zwift and ROUVY into your setup for virtual races, group rides and personalized workouts. A tablet or phone mount keeps controls and training data within easy view.

No slipping, smooth acceleration, shifting and out-of-the-saddle riding – just like on the road. Quiet direct-drive trainers with large flywheels, adaptive resistance units and rocker plates help create a more natural ride feel.

Headwinds build character – and indoors, they also provide fresh airflow and a more realistic ride feel. Modern simulators use app control to adjust the airflow to match your route.

For the most realistic ride feel possible, a climb simulator is hard to beat. Combined with adaptive braking systems, it brings the sensation of climbing into your indoor training.
