The more sophisticated smart trainers come with power meters, Bluetooth and ANT+ connection, and plenty of built-in virtual resistance, so you can push yourself to the limit without having to halt because of the cold.<\/p>\n\n<p>We like options that post consistently accurate power readings, offer exceptional value, deliver a real-world riding experience, aren\u2019t too much of a pain to move around, are stable when in use and, vitally, are quiet! See our annotations (above) for more detail on what makes a good turbo trainer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SMART TURBO TRAINERS With the latest generation of smart trainers being so sophisticated \u2013 and even fun when connected to a virtual cycling app like market-leader Zwift \u2013 increasing numbers of triathletes are turning their backs on the great outdoors altogether during the colder (and sometimes warmer) months, in favour of their home training set-up.
