New cyclists and professional athletes alike will find an Elite smart trainer to meet their needs. Theres a reason pro cycling teams love Elite trainers. The new Elite Rivo with Zwift Cog and Click joins the Justo 2 and Avanti in the stable of Elites Zwift-ready smart trainers. The Rivo is the most affordable of the trio with a compact design, yet still delivers the same quiet rides and smart tech as its siblings. It is a direct-drive indoor trainer with fully interactive features and a price tag closer to wheel-on and non-interactive trainers. The Elite Rivo is a great choice for a first smart trainer, or for riders who want to streamline their training setup. Part of its appeal is the compact size, whether for storage between sessions or rolling it to the car for a pre-race warm-up. The Rivo weighs just 22 pounds, has a carry handle, and folds down to just 52cm x 16cm x 49cm tall.Even experienced riders interested in the Rivos compact design will appreciate the brands reliable data (2.5% power accuracy), automatic resistance, and Zwifts virtual shifting. Other smart features include WiFi, automatic firmware updates, and stand-alone modes.
