With its affordable price and great user reviews, the Kinetic rock and roll Smart trainer<\/em> is our number one choice.<\/p>\n The money you spend brings\u00a0 an amazing array of features:<\/p>\n Although it weighs just 15 kg, it is an incredibly high quality build, that gives you a rock solid base that delivers consistent performance that seriously mirrors the one you would get outside.<\/p>\n But the star of the show is the kinetic app that is linked to the trainer via Bluetooth. The app is available for Apple and android, and has an incredible range of features, plus is easy to use.<\/p>\n When you add to all that the lifetime warranty on this model, you are really getting some serious bang for your buck, especially when compound machines can cost double the money.<\/p>\n\n Our second best choice for a turbo trainer that is both high in quality and features, but at an affordable price is the Jetblack Z1 Pro.<\/em><\/p>\n This is the latest design of this model, which has been made more efficient by reducing friction, extending the life of the machinery, reducing noise by 55% and reducing tire wear 25%.<\/p>\n That’s a huge improvement on the previous versions, and the reason why it has now kicked up into being a serious choice at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n The Z1 Pro has the following key features:<\/p>\n The training app is not as comprehensive as our number one choice smart trainer, but it’s still offers you a good range of training options.<\/p>\n In terms of performance, you will hear a little bit of a hum when you first start cycling, but once the machinery warms up, it is almost silent and delivers close to perfect performance.<\/p>\n This was close to matching our number one choice, as it does also come with a lifetime warranty. But what lets it down slightly is that the training app is not as good.<\/p>\n\n Coming in third is the high performance Elite Novo Force<\/em>. <\/strong>This is in a completely different price range to our top two, averaging around \u00a3115, which is less than half the price.<\/p>\n But is it half as good? Well in our experience, the answer is an emphatic no.<\/p>\n This is a lightweight, set up and go, entry-level trainer. It lacks the fancy bells and whistles, it’s not as stable, and it’s certainly not the best long-term solution.<\/p>\n If you are looking for something you can just chuck down, use and then store away quickly, this is something you definitely be looking at.<\/p>\n In terms of features, the Elite Novo Force has all the basics:<\/p>\n So this is a great resistance trainer for people who just want to get on with it, and who don’t want to spend a lot of money on indoor resistance cycle training, but who want something that will allow them to progress for some time.<\/p>\n There is an optional upgrade which allows you to then use a Bluetooth app. It’s not a huge amount of money and it will dramatically increase the range of training you can do, while relieving some of the boredom a lack of interaction can bring.<\/p>\n But generally, if you are looking for an entry-level resistance trainer, then the Elite Novo Force could be just what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n\n This trainer is available from around \u00a380. That’s an amazing price for what it does, and it puts it right down in the bargain basement, but without the lack of performance.<\/p>\n You must not be put off by the cheap price, this really can do everything you need at the basic level. But don’t take our word for it, on Amazon it has an average rating of 4.4\/5 with 61% rating it five-star.<\/p>\n In terms of features, they are obviously fewer than the more expensive machines out there, but you do get a great range of sturdy basics:<\/p>\n Weighing in at just 8.5 kg, you are not going to get top resistance levels. But you do get a good basic range, and by using the gears on your bike you can increase the resistance to help get a good workout.<\/p>\n\n In fifth place is another budget folding trainer. The Tacx Blue Matic<\/em> is specialist because it was developed by a cycling company over many years. But what’s gone into it has not increased the price.<\/p>\n Although simple and lightweight, it does pack in great performance:<\/p>\n What makes this model different is that it uses a magnetic brake rather than a flywheel, which allows for a lighter weight and more sensitive adjustment of resistance levels.<\/p>\n With easy mounting and removal of the bike, and the ability to store easily, this trainer really is great value for money, and one that deserves serious consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n
