A renowned Italian brand, Elite bike trainers have earned the trust of cycling's big names, while offering a high-performance solution for cyclists who want to create a "pain cave" worthy of the name.

Italy is one of the historical birthplaces of road cycling; it has produced champions such as Gino Bartali , Fausto Coppi , and Marco Pantani, as well as high-end equipment like Bianchi bikes and Campagnolo parts .

The Elite brand honors the Italian tradition by manufacturing high-performance trainers that have earned the trust of over 4 World Tour teams, as it is the "technical partner" of Movistar (Alejandro Valverde), Bahrain-Merida (Vincenzo Nibali), Sunweb (Tom Dumoulin), and AG2R (Romain Bardet).

Elite trainers are distinguished by their power, precision, mobility, interactivity, and low noise. Some of these qualities have also been highlighted by Bicycling magazine , which named the Elite Suito model " Best Value Direct Drive - Editors’ choice " and the Elite Drivo II model " Most Accurate Data Power - Recommended " in its 2019 review of the best trainers on the market. Let's look at some of their qualities in more detail.

A powerful bike trainer

When you head to the basement for a training session, you want to recreate outdoor road conditions, that goes without saying. The interactive Suito trainer simulates inclines of up to 15% and the Elite Drivo II goes up to 25% (in case you're training your legs for the Mortirolo Pass or Angliru !). Sprinters are not left out, as the Elite Suito generates 1,900 Watts and the Drivo II 2,300 Watts when the odometer reads 40 km/h.

Silent models

Elite trainers are among the quietest models on the market. The Elite Drivo II model produces about sixty decibels, while the fan that dries your sweat produces an average of 70.

Portable

Elite trainer models are designed to be easily transported from one place to another. The Drivo and Suito models have a carrying handle, while the Elite Nero and Elite Quick Motion training rollers are even retractable. So you can easily take them with you to the cottage, or to the location of a gran fondo you're registered for, to complete your pre-race warm-up.
