Elite Square Smart Frame - Indoor Bike - black

Smart frame with high-end virtual shifting

Square is a smart frame with high-end virtual shifting that allows you to customize the controls and precisely adapt them to the gear systems of major manufacturers (Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo) to replicate the components of your bike down to the exact gear configuration.

You can customize the number of gears and teeth on the cassette, the number of teeth on each chainring, or select from pre-set profiles or the convenient sequential shifting via the dedicated Square app.

The shifting sensation is realistic: just operate the handlebar levers and buttons as you would on your outdoor bike.

The belt drive offers a smooth, even pedal stroke without noise or vibrations: with Square, training sessions reach unbeatable levels of quietness.

Square is fully adjustable and offers great adaptability for cyclists of different sizes, with seven adjustment options for saddle height, tilt, and fore-aft position, handlebar height and fore-aft position, top tube length, and crank length.

Features

Virtual Shifting and Customizable Gearing

Elite’s Smart Frame features a high-level virtual shifting system that offers extensive customization options during gear configuration.

Square allows you to replicate the three main manufacturers, Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo, with customizable configurations for gears and sprockets to exactly replicate your bike’s drivetrain.

Upon first use, simply select your preferred shifting system on the dedicated Square app to mimic the drivetrain groups of the main manufacturers with 13 customizable presets, allowing you to customize gear ratios, including the number of gears and the number of teeth on the cassette.

Square also offers two modes of pre-set profiles: for gears and teeth, divided into different course types (Flat Rides, Mountain Climbs, Hilly Courses). Alternatively, you can immediately use a convenient pre-set Shimano 12-speed profile (11-30).

Additionally, it includes a customizable sequential shifting system with variable resistance levels ranging from 5 to 24 levels.

Finally, operate the lever and button systems on the handlebar just as you would on your outdoor bike.

Multi-Function Handlebar

The Square handlebar features two lever controls designed to enable training apps to integrate special controls like Zwift Play and offer touch-free interaction with the screen running the training platform.

The handlebar includes the same buttons and levers for shifting and braking that you would find on bikes with Shimano, SRAM, or Campagnolo shifting systems, positioned and functioning the same way on the Square.

Each controller is equipped with 10 buttons: four buttons for controlling Zwift or other apps, one to manage the intensity of Aria, Elite’s smart fan, directly from the Square if connected; one button for virtual steering on Zwift to allow your avatar to move left or right on the course, two shift buttons, one for Campagnolo shifting, and one brake button, activated with the brake lever.

Combinations and pressing of levers and buttons enable additional controls such as extended shifting, switch between manual and simulation modes with Aria, or switch from one profile to another.

Handlebar Specifications

Buttons and controls are placed above the grips and handlebar for a comfortable and obstacle-free grip. Ideal for maintaining correct posture during training and easily using the buttons.

The handlebar has a width of 420 mm with a 6° flare. Perfect for ensuring maximum comfort during long training sessions or extreme races.

Enhancing handlebar comfort are the grips with soft, non-slip silicone covers, like most real bikes. In addition to offering a more comfortable feel, they ensure a more secure grip and greater durability over time.

The Square includes a pre-installed Garmin-compatible mount, making it compatible with the most popular bike computers on the market.

Fully Customizable from XS to XL

Square's adjustable design offers unparalleled adaptability, allowing you to effortlessly replicate the measurements of bikes of varying sizes and heights, with adjustable options ranging from XS to XL.

In just a few simple steps, you can customize Square to match your bike perfectly, adjusting the different sections to accommodate your frame size, ensuring optimal pedaling biomechanics and muscle memory during indoor training sessions.

Square is designed with an architecture that allows precise adjustment to the millimeter:

• Height, inclination, and fore-aft adjustment of the saddle
• Height and fore-aft adjustment of the handlebar
• Length of the horizontal tube
• Length of the cranks

Refer to the measurements provided on the adjustment areas, complete with millimeter scales, to assist you in fine-tuning the frame to your pedaling preferences and your bike's dimensions effortlessly.

Adjustable Crank Arm Length

Additionally, you'll have access to five different configurations for adjusting the crank arm length, allowing for comprehensive customization of the smart frame to suit your bike's individual specifications.

Available adjustments: 165 mm, 167.5 mm, 170 mm, 172.5 mm, 175 mm.

Unprecedented Silence

With Square, silence becomes the cornerstone of an exceptional training experience.

Thanks to the belt drive system, you can enjoy a smooth and silent ride like never before, free from any noise from the chain or smart trainer. This system is the ideal integration for your training area because it provides a smooth and realistic riding experience, with the benefit of absolute quietness and always clean operations, as the belt requires no lubrication and does not get dirty like chains on conventional frames.

With its noise-free operation, Square is perfectly suited for indoor use, ensuring a tranquil environment without disruptions for family members or neighbors.

Share Your Journey with Fellow Cyclists

With its adjustable design, Square enables you to share your setup with other cyclists comfortably, without the need to switch bikes for different users.

No more disassembling and reassembling the bike if you don't already have one dedicated to indoor training, or if multiple cyclists in the household are using the same smart trainer.
Say goodbye to needing a spare cassette for your indoor bike or constantly having to find adapters and spacers to attach the bike to the trainer for every workout.

With its wide range of adjustments, Square offers a personalized training experience that's immediate and hassle-free, tailored to every cyclist.

Also, setting up your training area becomes simple and immediate with Square, as it eliminates the need for a cassette in favor of a single gear to be installed on the trainer.

Quick Setup and Easy Pairing

Setting up and connecting the Square frame is quick and hassle-free, thanks to its Plug & Play design powered by a battery. With no requirement for an electrical outlet during use, you can devote your attention to assembling the Square with the trainer and any additional accessories.

Installation and pairing with the trainer are easy and immediate thanks to the accessories and adjustment keys included in the box, and the Square control app, which allows you on first use:

• to configure your frame and pair your trainer with the Smart Frame simply by clicking on the nearest detected trainer
• to create up to 5 different user profiles that you can divide based on the different types of gearing and ratios selected
• to pre-set a level to maintain in stand-alone mode
• to have access to all functions and configurations

Manage Your Workouts Offline

The Elite Smart Frame offers you the versatility of being used in stand-alone mode even when not connected to a specific training app. Ideal if you use it in an area with poor connectivity.

By simply using the levers on the handlebar, you can adjust the resistance from 1 to 16 levels, regardless of the lever used, giving you total control over your workout even without any connectivity.

An integrated system with all Elite smart trainers and accessories

Square is smart by design, seamlessly integrating with Elite's entire ecosystem of technologies for indoor cycling.

Its modular structure allows for easy setup updates by simply replacing the front support leg with the Rizer, Elite’s slope simulator with integrated steering that perfectly complements Square, giving you the most realistic climbing sensation in the indoor cycling market.

The feeling of authentic pedaling is consistently replicated by the Elite smart trainer connected to the Smart Frame. In Elite's flagship models such as the Justo 2, it autonomously adjusts resistance up to an impressive 24% incline and accurately measures your power output with an accuracy of less than 1%, thanks to its built-in power meter.

Square works as a team with these Elite smart trainers:

• Justo and Justo 2
• Avanti (including Avanti with Zwift Cog and Click)
• the entire Direto family (Direto, Direto X, Direto XR, Direto XR-T, Direto XR Cog, Direto XR Team)
• Rivo and Rivo with Zwift Cog and Click
• Suito and Suito-T
