There are some trainers that I’ve used hundreds of times, and others just once or twice.
But, even with some dozen plus trainers currently in my possession, I simply can’t try out every one on the market today with any reasonable level of detail or authority. That said, there are undoubtedly many other good trainers, great trainers even – especially in the sub-$300 range out there that don’t have electronics in them. In fact, that’s why this post is coming out this week and not last week – as there was one last trainer I really wanted to try that would have impacted the standing – thus the delay. How I make trainer recommendations:įirst and foremost, I only recommend trainers I’ve actually used. I’ll be doing some variant of an update on that later this month, though the gist concepts of that post remains largely unchanged.įinally, for those looking for general sports technology recommendations (watches/action cams/activity trackers/scales/etc.…), I’ll be publishing those over the next few weeks. Now this post will NOT cover trainer apps, rather, I have a dedicated post for that (you can find last year’s version here).
This announcement/release pattern has been the case for years, and expect it to continue. It can however sometimes take a few months for those new trainers to make it to market, thus the reason I tend to post in November, after I’ve had a chance to try them all out. Generally speaking bike trainer companies release new trainers at those two major trade shows in August and September, though a handful of trainers did predate that slightly in June/July this year. We saw a boatload of new trainers over the past few months, predominantly at Eurobike and Interbike. I started doing the Trainer Recommendations post three years ago, and I know many of you are looking for an updated version for this season. It’s once again fall in the Northern Hemisphere – which for most of us means transitioning to a more steady diet of trainer rides indoors, keeping the outdoor days for those that grace us with better weather. !!!Update: Looking for a trainer?
