Powerful Braking System

Whether it is a sprint or a mountain stage, the only thing that counts is who puts the most power on the pedals. This is why we recommend that ambitious athletes use a roller trainer with at least 1500 watts of peak power.

Superfast Set Up

Performance training should be efficient, and that starts with the set-up process. Indoor bikes are the most advanced solution – set up, get on, start riding. Direct drive trainers are also ready to ride in a few simple steps.

If you order multiple items with different delivery times, shipping will begin once all items are ready for dispatch. For the payment method “cash in advance,” delivery time will be extended, as shipping will not start until payment is actually received.
