  • The Elite Suito is a direct-drive bike trainer that comes ready-to-go right out of the box. At just $799 with a cassette, it's one of the best values when it comes to a complete, indoor bike trainer. Check out my first impressions of Elite's newest trainer.

    Thanks for the review, it does look a good bit of kit and being so slim helps to put it away.

    Love seeing these come down in price; especially when you start factoring in the included cassette, it seems like we're really into not-insane territory. I know the average triathlete income is decently high, but those $1200-1500 pricepoints were painful a few years back. $800 all in is now actually feeling justifiable. 🔥

      Considering it seems to be a pretty solid build too (the Direto was built really well), it’s something that should last you for quite a few years.

    Hey Des! I just got my Suito before release! Does yours rattle? This is my first smart trainer so I don't have any reference. By rattle I mean little vibration like if you're were riding on semi-smooth surface. Not a big rattle. I expected the ride to be 100% smooth.

    • @DesFit
      @DesFit  4 года назад +2

      There may be a slight vibration, but it shouldn’t actually rattle. I’ve been on two different units, one at Ray’s studio in July and the unit I have in my studio and neither “rattle”, per se. I’d equate it to my Neo 2 which simulates some road feel as it’s not perfectly smooth, which I tend to prefer.

    • @pszemso

      I also experience some vibrations. On higher gears they are more noticeable. Did you try to contact Elite or put it under warranty?

    • @DesFit
      @DesFit  4 года назад

      You most likely do not have an 11-speed drivetrain and the Suito comes with an 11-speed cassette. You’ll likely have to get the same speed cassette as your bike and install that on the Suito.

    that is the cassette ratio provided? 11-28? do we have an option?

    • @DesFit
      @DesFit  4 года назад

      11/28 but there isn’t an option. However, with indoor training platforms, it’s generally best to have a closer gear ratio from gear to gear for optimum cadence.

      Unless you need the higher resistance of the Direto, go Suito. Not many people need that extra 200 watts. Both have been fairly accurate from my testing.
