As with other wheel-on smart trainers, the Flow Smart is louder and does report power with less accuracy than direct-drive models. But if you’re on a limited budget, it will still do a respectable job. We recommend using Bluetooth to connect all of your hardware together, but if you have ANT+ accessories (such as an older power meter or a heart rate monitor) that you also want to connect, then you’ll need an ANT+ dongle for your laptop or tablet. Wahoo includes a cassette and a generously sized power cable, so you shouldn’t need an extension lead. They also have added functionality to aid training, such as ERG mode, which automatically alters the resistance to match the target power during a workout. Of course, price is always going to be a major consideration. So we’ve tested a range of options to suit as many budgets as possible, but there’s no denying these trainers aren’t cheap.Regular trainers, sometimes referred to as ‘dumb trainers’ (perhaps unfairly), don’t have these features and the resistance level has to be changed manually. When paired with speed sensors or an on-bike power meter, they can be used with apps such as Zwift, but the experience is less immersive. You’ll need to ensure you have water bottles filled to the brim for every ride as - we're going to get bored of saying this - turbo training is seriously sweaty work.

Before the explosion of the turbo trainer market, rollers were widespread. Now they’re a rare sight in pain caves, but some riders still prefer them, mainly thanks to their simplicity.

The final option is a static bike or exercise bike. We’re not talking about the basic models families had in their spare rooms during the 80s and 90s when there was a static bike fad. Before we delve into the essential equipment, here’s a few reasons why you should definitely start turbo training - if you’ve already caught the bug, skip along to the next section! There are still many riders who think turbo training is dull and boring, a monotonous process of turning the pedals while staring at a wall. When turbo trainers were in their infancy, riding indoors admittedly wasn’t the most engaging activity. Once you’ve got all of the essential items, there are still a few extra turbo trainer accessories that can make your indoor cycling sessions even more enjoyable. If you’ve ever had to miss out on cycling due to bad weather or poor light, you’ll know how frustrating it can be. However, thanks to our range of turbo trainers, rollers and accessories, you’ll never have to miss out on indoor cycle training again.The Tacx Flow Smart is one of the cheapest entry points into interactive indoor cycling. While it doesn’t compete with pricier options on paper, in practice it offers an enjoyable and immersive indoor cycling experience for an attractive price. The Zwift Hub is a competitively priced direct-drive smart trainer from the virtual cycling and running platform, Zwift. Even if you do have a smart trainer, it’s likely it’ll measure power slightly differently from a power meter on your bike, so true training devotees who want the most consistent data possible might be better served with a single power meter they can use inside and out. Smart trainers are interactive turbo trainers that connect with indoor cycling apps such as Zwift, TrainerRoad, Wahoo SYSTM and RGT Cycling, to control the trainer’s resistance and replicate hills, headwinds and drafting effects inside virtual worlds.
