I thought X7 is launched just in 2021, looks like it was launched two years at least. Am I correct? Still thanks for your clear introduction and unboxing video.
Hey do you have problems with the speed/distance accuracy between your head unit and the onelap? do you adjust the wheel circumference in the head unit?
There is a person who bought it and there is clearly a software problem above 8%. There is an ERG mode where you can define at what power you can work and it works. So from a Hardware point of view the trainer is able to simulate slopes well above 8% but it is not practical and it is not what one expects from a home trainer and applications such as bkool or swift. He contacted Thinkrider directly and is in contact with them. They are aware of the problem. He is not alone in his case: forums.zwift.com/t/thinkrider-x7-smart-trainer-problems-with-slopes-higher-than-8/514612
@@ericlepicard1514 I just tried it today for the first time. I noticed that over around 12% (or maybe lass) nothing change but there is simply a decreasing of speed. I have to test it again, but maybe the 20% slope was a fake and the real slope it can handle is less. I have to try it for more time. I'm using Bkool. Indoor it's a new world for me so I want to try a little bit more
Have you said that it comes with ant+ Fe-c protocol? There isn’t much info of the trainer on internet, or maybe in a language that isn’t chinese. I have seen it on Ali express there doesn’t say that works with Fe-c, just appear Bluetooth and ANT+.
Hi WuXi Wheeler, I am deliberating and choosing between the China trainer model Thinkrider x7 and the Italian trainer model Elite Suito, are you able to make a video or anyone can share this comparison on these smart trainers?
I have a question regarding compatibility with Zwift, as well. I haven't seen a definitive answer at this point in this thread. Does anyone know if this is a controllable trainer compatible with Zwift (i.e. adjusts based on change in gradient)? I noticed that it is not on Zwift's list of controllable trainers.
Hello Wuxi, thanks for the video, very useful. I am considering to buy one too. Any feedback after 11 months with the Thinkrider X/ Smart Trainer? Would you still recommend it?
Hello buddy, how are you? Here in Brazil, I'm having a hard time finding a smart trainer, and this is becoming the best option at this time of covid-19. I would like to know your opinion of this smart trainer. have you been training with him? Thank you very much and great pedaling!
Hello friend, happy to see your video. a light. I'm about to buy this trainer, but there is a comment on zwift that it can't work properly with FtP changes, when in training modes. I noticed in your comments that it works very well in the program. Is correct? Did you also try in training mode? Yes, sorry for the bad English, I had to use google.
@@van-geraldolivares9662 how to connect with zwift? Like a power meter or like a controllable trainer? Is it full Interactive with zwift? (More climb on the game = more brake force on the trainer?) Thanks in advance
Hendrik Van Brantegem hey, I would but I’m in one country and the trainer is in another. I can tell you that I have about 20 hours on it now, and it works flawlessly, I use zwift and I cannot complain at all for the price. Hope this helps?.
The Wuxi Wheeler hey man , I got one too . Really Nice !! Enjoying it. Did some rides but now the weather is too good to stay inside. Winter is coming and I am prepared😊😊
@@martintin250 hey man, you are right, this was really a bargain. half the price of the top tier wahoo and what a great quality. having lots of fun zwifting especially with the lockdown :) my YT name is my zwift as well, maybe we meet up one day!
Hey Joel, I’m not too sure, I would imagine so, its just a power supply to the unit, best to email them before you buy, ive put a fair few hours on it now, and its great!!
i just got my unit and i am struggling to find any app (on android) to control it's resistance. not a fan of zwift or any of those virtual riding kinda program.... just looking for it's app so i can have a good workout based on ERG mode. can u advice pls?
@@martintin250 thanks for replying. i have trainer road but its not picking up the thinkrider signals... and somehow the app which they suggested : POWERFUN cant be used due to requirements of registering only with chinese mobile number. Im not in china btw... darn...

Michael Davis it basically is. When wahoo signed the agreement to China to make their trainers but in that agreement it says China is allowed to sell their product as their own. That’s why theirs so much knockoff Chinese stuff
Hi, you want to make a video on how to calibrate Thinkrider X7. Especially since the application it comes with is in Chinese and I don't understand how to do it. Thanks.
I ask because I connected the Thinkrider x7 with Rouvy, I did the FTP test which gave me a very high result, 248 W. I participated in a flat race and I found that the speed was very low compared to the effort that I deposited it. In virtual pedaling with a cadence of 120 rpm on a large 50T sheet and with an 11T pinion, with a 700x25C wheel set. And the speed on that virtual flat is 25km / h, which is not normal and should be somewhere over 60km / h. It would help me a lot if you made a video about how to calibrate Thinkrider X7 to normal parameters.
Like having a beer with a buddy next door. Thanks.
Hi. What's up with the Kickr flywheel?
Any updates 1 year on? Working well with Zwift?
is the handle removable?
Hi! Thanks for explication! I'm still in doubt of buying because of repare parts. Where we buy?
Is it precise?
What about hill simulations? 20% or 9%??
With last firmware is about 12% but really is like 8-9% original
Any updates? Did it withstand the adverse conditions you placed on it?

What about problems with slopes higher than 8%? There is a big problem.

Same question here! also - is it compatible with Zwift? (newbie question)
Nice video, can it simulate the real 20% gradient ?thanks :)
Hello, I would like to know if this trainer simulates slopes of 20% or not? On aliexpress people say it is not, no more than 8%.
Thanks, did you do video for the connection to Zwift and the callibration? If not how did that go. Cheers and thanks
