For those just considering buying their first indoor trainer, the variety of choices and options can feel a little dizzying, even before turning your first pedal stroke – what specs do I really need? Is my bike compatible? And how much will this all cost?
Well, starting with the last question, we’ve got some good news for you there! Smart trainers today are much cheaper than they once were – you can even pick one up for less than a top-end pair of bib tights! Opting for a ‘dumb’ trainer setup will get you rolling for even less, but we’ll be jumping into all those details – and much more besides – later this week!
Digging deeper…
For those of you who are happy with your setup and are raring to go, we’ll got an avalanche of tips and advice for getting the best out of yourself. Of course, there’s the e-racing scene – and we’ve got plenty to say on that – but there’s much, much more to riding indoors than just this one corner!
We’ll be sharing the best ways to challenge yourself on Zwift without entering a race, and giving you the lowdown on improve your time up the Alpe du Zwift (there’s much more to it than ‘just be stronger!’)
That’s all coming up, but if you can’t wait and want to get stuck in right now, we can give you the lowdown on the best indoor training apps and the best indoor cycling clothing we’ve reviewed. For more product suggestions, you can find our guide to the best turbo trainers here and the best smart bikes over here.
